A hunter who told authorities he killed and skinned what he thought were two coyotes, but later discovered they were a Connecticut family's pet German shepherds, has been criminally charged.
The News-Times
During a hearing in Danbury Superior Court on Wednesday that drew dozens of people including the dogs’ owners and animal rights advocates, Michael Konschak, 61, of Carmel, New York, said he was ashamed of what he did.Police with the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection arrested Konschak in February on charges including tampering with evidence, forgery, interfering with a law enforcement officer and hunting-related violations.
Konschak, whose lawyer called the dogs' deaths an accident, applied for a special probation program that could have resulted in the charges being erased, but a judge rejected that request Wednesday. "We live with the emotional pain as we think about what they felt in their final moments lying beside each other dying,” she said.
