A Florida woman could face up to five years in prison for animal cruelty charges. She contends though that the charges are unfair as she simply didn\u2019t have enough money to take her ailing dog to the doctor for veterinary care.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

According to\u00a0WTVT-TV,\u00a0Tammy Brown was living on a\u00a0fixed income<\/a> of $508 a month, which goes toward a mortgage, utilities, food and medicine.<\/p>\n

Her dog Harley at 14 years old was taken away by animal services and put down in 2011 for what the vet told the jury in her trial was long-term neglect, which included a large growth on his neck. She says she tried treating the growth with skin ointments.\"Harley<\/a><\/p>\n

But not taking care of Harley\u2019s health is never what she intended, her attorney said, noting that she barely had enough to pay for her own expenses,\u00a0WTVT reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cShould all of Pasco County go down as . . . animal cruelty just because they can\u2019t afford to take their dog to a vet?\u201d Brown asked from jail. \u201cI don\u2019t think that\u2019s fair.<\/p>\n

WTVT reported Brown will receive her sentence Friday.<\/p>\n

\"Tammy<\/a>
Tammy Brown, Harley’s Owner, was living on a fixed income of $508 a month, which goes toward a mortgage, utilities, food and medicine. She has already spent 36 days in prison and faces 5 more years.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The woman from Moon Lake spent 36 days in jail already and told WTVT in tears that while being there to think about Harley, she regrets not calling someone about helping the dog.<\/p>\n

I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House.
