Today in Judge Valenciano’s courtroom, Blaine Jacintho was taken directly to jail. He was sentenced for 5 misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty in the second degree which he pled guilty to on November 17th in a plea agreement
made with the prosecutor’s office. Each count has a maximum penalty of a $2000 fine and/or a year in jail.
Judge Valenciano sentenced Jacintho to two 30-day jail sentences to be served concurrently and probation for a one year period. Jacintho was ordered to complete 100 hours of community service, pay court costs and pay full restitution to the Kauai Humane Society for costs incurred to care for the dogs totaling $7470.
In 2009, Kauai Humane Society Humane Officers charged Jacintho with a total of 10 counts of animal cruelty for two different occasions where dogs died under his care and other dogs suffered under horrible living conditions. Back in June, the Kauai Humane Society removed 9 live dogs for protective custody and veterinary care. Months were spent rehabilitating the dogs and 6 were adopted into new loving homes. “One aggressive pitbull was euthanized due to severe aggression and a history of attacking a visitor’s young child at Poipu Beach”, says Dr. Becky Rhoades, executive director of Kauai Humane Society. “Two other adult dogs appeared to have never been touched by a human being. We were unsuccessful in changing their behavior enough to be safe out in the community”, says Dr. Becky.
The Kauai Humane Society is open every day to receive any animal in need. “If you cannot afford to properly care for your dog or don’t have time to socialize him, please bring him to the shelter,” says Dr. Becky. “We are here to protect animals and prevent them from neglect, suffering and a cruel death.”
