A Connecticut man has been sentenced to 120 days in jail after police say he cut a pet fish in half during a domestic dispute. 33-year-old Juan Vega pleaded guilty to breach of peace. As part of the plea deal, a charge of cruelty to animals was dropped.
Police say Vega argued with a woman and damaged property at the residence. The woman’s nine-year-old son told officers the family’s pet betta fish was killed. The prosecutor says the fish killing “really did traumatise” the child.
