<\/p>\nA woman who threw her pet from the top of a multi-story car park has been jailed after claiming she was doing the dog "a favour".<\/p>\n
Horrifying footage showed Amy Judge, 26, chuck her Maltese Shih Tzu off of Westfield Whitford City's shopping centre in Perth, Australia. The 10-year-old dog, named Princess, suffered catastrophic injuries and was later put down.<\/p>\n
A passer-by who found the animal assumed the dog had been hit by a car, though Judge later admitted to the crime in a Facebook post and has since been jailed for 12 months.<\/p>\n

The incident, which happened in April 2022, was captured on CCTV, with Ms Judge now banned from owning an animal for the next 10 years.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Her partner was present for the incident and was handed a \u00a31,335 fine and banned from owning animals for three years for failing to seek vet care for Princess. <\/p>\n
Their tiny dog fell a fatal nine metres and a later Facebook post where Judge is deemed to have shown a lack of remorse was posted soon after the event. Pet owner Judge came clean in a post which racked up over a hundred comments, the New York Post reported.<\/p>\n

Her post read: "I can't live with the guilt, I threw my dog off the top story of a shopping centre carpark and watched her fall to her death but she survived and needed to be put down due to how badly I injured her".<\/p>\n
Further extracts read: "I killed my dog" and "I did her a favour because all I did was hurt her and abuse her." In sentencing, Mark Millington said Judge had shown a lack of remorse in the "planned, deliberate, and intentional act."<\/p>\n

RSPCA WA Inspector Manager Kylie Green noted the incident as an "extremely confronting display of animal cruelty", adding: "Dogs can be so trusting, and they rely on their owners to keep them safe. I can\u2019t think of a more disgusting betrayal of that trust.<\/p>\n
"I hope it also sends a clear message to the community that intentional cruelty towards animals is extremely serious and won\u2019t be tolerated."<\/p>\n
