Woman Gets Jail For Killing Dog

A Southwest Florida woman was sentenced to 30 days in jail for killing her
neighbor's Chihuahua with a shotgun, telling the dog's owner in court that she
was scared when it attacked her.

Wanda Ziglar, 49, of Golden Gate, pleaded no contest to one felony count of
animal cruelty. Senior Judge Jack Schoonover agreed to withhold a formal
finding of guilt of the charge.

Ziglar will be allowed to serve her jail time on weekend work detail. The
judge also sentenced her to probation for two years and house arrest for six
months.

Ziglar was arrested July 31 after admitting she shot and killed the dog, which
belonged to her then-neighbor, Marisol Olegnichar. Ziglar told deputies the
Chihuahua repeatedly wandered into her yard.

She said in court that she grabbed a shotgun and fired two warning shots into
the air then shot the dog when it tried to attack her.

The lady has some serious aggression issues. Not that standing around scratching yourself on weekend detention will probably solve them.

An attacking chihuahua? :rolleyes:

I hope this teaches her a lesson.

Mosquitoes are more threatening than a chihuahua! I have the feeling a hose set on low whould have been more apropriate. That lady needs to learn how to react appropreatly to situations.
