Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Evidence
Defendant was convicted, after bench trial, of failing to provide humane care and treatment for, and abusing, his 10 dogs. Evidence showed that Defendant housed some dogs outside in cages without appropriate floors, and conditions were filthy. State was not required to prove that dogs suffered any physical or psychological injury. Section 3(a)(4) of the Humane Care for Anials Act is not unconstitutionally vague. (PUCINSKI and COBBS, concurring.)
