MORE than 5,000 people voluntarily raised funds to bail out a Beijing woman who was charged with embezzling 220,000 yuan (US$35,222) from her company to feed starving homeless animals.
With donations from the public, the 50-year-old woman surnamed Guan has paid back the embezzled money and her company was also touched by her story and asked for lenient punishment, the Beijing News reported today
The Huairou District People's Court later sentenced her to three years in prison with a three-year reprieve.
Guan said she couldn't ignore the misery of abandoned cats and dogs and had adopted 70 homeless animals since 2000. "It cost me at least 7,000 yuan a month to feed them and my salary can hardly afford the cost," she said in court.
In 2009, she no longer had money to take ill dogs to the vet and began to embezzle company money as she was a saleswoman.
Considering she had returned the money and she pleaded guilty, the court gave her a light sentence, the paper said.
