Jerusalem rabbis 'condemn dog to death by stoning'

Generic image of stray dog In traditional Judaism, dogs are considered to be
impure animals

A Jewish rabbinical court condemned to death by stoning a stray dog it feared was
the reincarnation of a lawyer who insulted its judges, reports say.

The dog entered the Jerusalem financial court several weeks ago and would not
leave, reports Israeli website Ynet.

It reminded a judge of a curse passed on a now deceased secular lawyer about 20
years ago, when judges bid his spirit to enter the body of a dog.

The animal is said to have escaped before the sentence was carried out.

One of the judges at the court in the city's ultra-Orthodox Mea Shearim
neighbourhood had reportedly asked local children to carry out the sentence.

An animal welfare organisation filed a complaint with the police against a court
official, who denied reports that judges had ordered the dog's stoning, according
to Ynet.

But a court manager told Israeli daily Yediot Aharonot the stoning had been
ordered as "as an appropriate way to 'get back at' the spirit which entered the poor
dog", according to Ynet.

Dogs are considered impure animals in traditional Judaism.
