The Hawaiian teenager is faced in prison for up to 10 years after he and Pal steal a female pet pig and massacre him to fall into a $1,000 hunting contest award.
Jaden Jalsky Magana, 19, and his accomplice Chris Ryan Saito Carino, 20, allegedly stolen “Eddie” from Sarah Haynes’ Maui Farm last May.
They killed Eddie and killed the intestines, and entered him at the very last minute in a local “large pig” hunting contest, but the hunters there became suspicious after realised that the pigs were castrated and that the typical wild pigs were far heavier than they entered the contest.
“No one believed him,” Haynes said. I told Khon2.
Eddie was too heavy for the two men to carry from the truck to the measuring scale, Haynes said, but they ended up walking with a $1,000 prize money for the biggest pig hunt.
Jarnesky-Magana and Saito-Carino were arrested and charged with animal cruelty in August after a police investigation late last year. Maui is currently being reported.
In January, Jarnesky-Magana changed the plea from innocence to a contest and is scheduled to be sentenced on Wednesday as a felony subject of first-degree animal cruelty and livestock theft.
According to Kohn2, Saito-Carino is expected to turn his plea into competition on Wednesday.
Haynes organized a rally outside the Wailuk Court to raise awareness about animal cruelty.
“Eddie was very friendly,” Haynes said. “The little kids could hold him, he would have sat there. You could have made him bark like a dog. That is, he was just the most adorable, sweet, gentle soul.”
She adopted a pig several years ago and brought him to her haiku girlfriend’s cat charm farm after discovering him running around with scars and rope burns because he was used to train hunting dogs.
“And then his life began with cruelty and I decided to go away for the rest of my life. And unfortunately, it ended in the same way that I hunted the dog.”
“I don’t want to ruin anyone’s life. I don’t think there’s a chance they’ll get 10 years, but what I want to see is a punishment,” he added.
“This was not an innocent mistake, it wasn’t a confusion about the law. It was a planned attack on my pet,” she added.
