(CNN) -- A Swedish appeals court has fined a kennel owner $3,100 (20,000 kronor) for refusing to sell a puppy to a woman because she is a lesbian, the state news agency said.

The 51-year-old kennel owner told the woman she did not trust homosexuals and had read that transvestites sexually abused animals, according to the TT news agency.

The news agency reported that the woman contacted the kennel, located in a suburb of the capital city Stockholm, inquiring about a puppy advertised for sale.

The woman told the kennel owner she and her partner would have plenty of time to care for the dog since both were students. But when she let slip she was a lesbian, the kennel owner -- who is also a woman -- put an end to the sale.

The court's decision on Monday upheld an earlier ruling by a district court against the kennel owner.

Funny she somehow connected transvestites with lesbians, as transvestites are men - and lesbians tends to be women... and most men are hetrosexuals, too.

And, in case she was still somehow worried, couldn't the owner of the kennel simply - in a sweet way - have suggested a male puppy?

All my dogs are male. And it works just fine!

Not that I would call myself a lesbian - but perhaps I could call myself a transvestite, to satisfy the whims of this kennel's owner?
Also, I am quite sure, that one of my dogs - if he was to wear clothes, would prefer woman's clothes. Especially if they were pink and in a very fine fabric.

My other dogs like to chew clothes sometimes - and I think they too have an inclination towards clothes that have been worn by a woman, or a smoker, or a drinker... but they all basically prefer bones. So they are quite sound!

Males - that like women, tobacco and drinks!
And a good fight.

Amazing this has made it to the CNN and world news. It was just a small curiosity notice in the daily. But amazing, isn't it? In the Swedish version, it spoke of "animal pornography," not "sexual abuse of animals" (implying the sex acts would be filmed). Either way, the kennel owner probably had a very blurry idea of what she meant.

to call it "animal pornography" is more accurate, the dogs really love the peanut butter, not eating it against their will

and one of the faves of my youth "the happy hoooker" by xavier hollander, its the dog who first makes the pass

Yes that was a good book wasn't it.

Yes amazing. So someone from CNN must scan all the Swedish news, and when finding something interesting like lesbians and puppies, translates it to english and it becomes a CNN news report?

yes, the pain and suffering i could have missed in iskcon if i took its message seriously

we can always hit the streets and distribute.

If she had sold it to a male soldier in Iraq he would have thrown it off a cliff.

while i question why our soldiers are over there, asked to serve by our president, i have no doubts over their integrity and humanity as a whole

american soldiers have a great history as dog lovers
