A transgender woman who threw a Chihuahua from her fifth-floor apartment in Bangkok has been sentenced to two months in jail without suspension, with the court saying it wanted to set a strong precedent for animal abuse.

The Bangkok North Municipal Court initially jailed 23-year-old Yonlada Jampasri to four months after she pled guilty to flinging 4-year-old "Deli" off her Wang Thonglang district balcony in a fit of rage after the pooch pooped inside the premises.

The defendant was charged of causing malicious damage and animal cruelty in violation of the Prevention of Animal Cruelty and Provision of Animals Welfare Act.

The sentence was commuted to two years due to Yonlada's confession.

The jail term was not suspended (suspend a sentence, suspended prison sentence, suspended jail term), however, as the court wanted to the case to set an example for animal abusers.

After the verdict, Corrections Department officials immediately took her to the jail at the Bangkok North Municipal Court, Thai media reported.

TOSSED FRIEND'S CHIHUAHUA OFF BALCONY

Yonlada admitted to the tossing the Chihuahua of her roommate Meyanee Sitthisuk onto a nearby roof when she surrendered to Wang Thonglang police on Wednesday following a complaint by the 23-year-old owner of the dog.

Ms Meyanee told police she and her four-year-old dog "Deli" had been staying with Ms Yonlada at the Soi Lat Phrao 122 condo unit for about 10 days before the incident took place.

LOST PATIENCE AFTER DOG SOILED FLOOR

However, Yonlada had told her house guest she didn't like pets and lost patience with the dog when it soiled the floor.

Although Yonlada was given the maximum penalty under the law, Ms Meyanee complained on her Facebook page Thursday about the "light" sentence given to her.
