A kennel owner in
Stockholm who refused to sell a puppy to a lesbian was
found guilty of discrimination by the capital's court of
appeals on Monday. The kennel owner, Annette Sjoeholm,
was fined for $3,100 for "discrimination in the form
of harassment," according to Agence France-Presse.
The ruling upheld
a lower court's decision from 2006. Smila Bergstroem
contacted Sjoeholm to purchase a puppy she had advertised,
but when she mentioned that she lived with another
woman, the kennel owner refused to sell the dog.
According to the report, Sjoeholm, 51, told Bergstroem that
she did not trust gays and that she had read that
transvestites sexually abused animals. (The
