May Yee Polegato of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, attacked the poor beast not in self-defense but in anger, and struck poor Jinx repeatedly with the board. Nobody but the wretched dog beater knows why she did it.
The bulldog survived, barely, but was horribly injured. He lost a whole lot of skin and tissue off of his back. I’ve debated with myself about the photos and have decided to include them. Be warned — they’re graphic, but they show the level of rage May Yee Polegato is capable of reaching.
This first picture is of poor Jinx almost healed up. The picture below is of Jinx when he was first attacked. Horrible.
May Yee Polegato did not stop at one hit or two with the two-by-four. May Yee Polegato wasn’t satisfied until she’d struck the unfortunate Jinx six or seven times.
The poor dog was taken to a veterinary clinic with his life-threatening injuries and the authorities were called in.
Jinx, now 5 years old, will be forever scarred from his wounds. He is living with May Yee Polegato’s ex-husband and hopefully is having a happy, quiet and contented life.
This was the first time May Yee Polegato had ever been involved in a case of animal cruelty. The first time but WOW, when she gets angry she becomes lethal! I don’t know how Jinx lived through it. Bulldogs are built tough, I guess.
On October 9, 2012, May Yee Polegato, 40, pleaded guilty in provincial court to the brutal, horrific beating of her pet dog. She did not explain her actions. Of course, in my book, there is no excuse good enough to inflict such pain and suffering on any creature. No excuse!
The judge handed this vicious dog beater a $5,000 fine and a 10-year ban from owning or caring for animals. No jail time.
Brad Nichols of the Calgary Humane Society indicated he is mostly satisfied with the sentence but he did note that the severity of the attack on Jinx could have meant jail time.
“There was a criminal code charge initially … you’re always left wanting more and this is a case that could have warranted incarceration,” said Brad Nichols. And should have, IMO.
“This was a violent act that could have garnered incarceration, however, the fine is one of the highest we have ever seen for a single animal offense,” Brad Nichols added. “The prohibition period is significant.”
I would have been more impressed if she’d gotten a lifetime ban from owning animals. And I would have been more satisfied if she’d been ordered to undergo therapy for her obvious rage issues. This woman has shown herself to be a ticking time bomb, ready to explode with little or no provocation.
Anyone who can repeatedly pummel a helpless animal with a two-by-four, to the extent that its hide is literally torn off its back, is a dangerous individual. And that type of individual — a hellbeast — deserves jail time. I hope May Yee Polegato appreciates her continued freedom.
Hopefully there will never be more incidents of violence involving this woman. Hopefully she will understand that her rage needs controlling and will voluntarily seek psychiatric help. And if she doesn’t, hopefully May Yee Polegato will become a recluse who avoids all situations that can trigger her outrageous, horrific rage.
I for one would not want to be near this woman. Her neighbours in Coventry Hills, Calgary would do well to watch out for her.
