COQUILLE — Chickens.

They’re the only kind of animal Bobbye Cikanek can own for the next five years, according to her sentence for abusing and neglecting her 10 horses.

“You can keep your chickens,” Judge Michael Gillespie told Cikanek at her hearing Friday morning.

The North Bend woman, convicted of first-degree animal abuse and 10 counts of second-degree animal neglect, cannot own livestock or domestic animals during her five-year probation, except for 20 chickens living on her property.

She’ll also have to pay courts fees and $5,182 in restitution, for the cost of caring for nine horses and a foal for two months. Coos County animal control officers and sheriff’s deputies removed the animals from her property on May 13 and placed them with community members and at the Coos County Fairgrounds. She forfeited the animals in mid-July.

The payment will go toward farrier, feed and veterinary bills, said Coos County Assistant District Attorney Shani Krumholz. That doesn’t include donated veterinary services, hours put in by volunteers or donated feed for the Tennessee walking horses.

“A lot of money was put forth by the community that will never be accounted for,” Krumholz said.

At the beginning of the hearing, Cikanek told the judge that she should keep the 14 pugs that are part of a dog-breeding operation at her home near the Kentuck Slough. Selling puppies is a big part of her income, she argued.

Gillespie questioned how much she actually made from the animals. But then Cikanek and her attorney told him the dogs belonged to her roommate, who also co-owns their home. Gillespie admonished her for failing to provide that information earlier.

“Do you know what an oath is, ma’am?” Gillespie asked her. “That’s where you promise to tell the truth.”

Cikanek said she raised the dogs and tried to explain her partnership with her roommate. Gillespie didn’t buy her story, comparing her to former President Bill Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal.

“You never talk the same language twice,” he said. “Half the truth is still a lie.”

Cikanek replied that she was just nervous.

The judge said she can live in the same house with the pugs and other pets that belong to the roommate. She just can’t act like an owner.

Cikanek had been concerned that being banned from owning animals would force her to move back to Winnemucca, Nev., or find a separate home. She noted that she had chronic bronchitis and severe allergies in Nevada.

“Three days in Oregon, and it all went away,” she said as defense attorney Allen Goldman patted her shoulder. “I would like to stay here because I’ve felt so much better.”

That won’t be a problem if the animals are under her roommate’s name. But the judge warned Cikanek:

“You take a dog to a vet, you’ve got a problem. You take a cat to a vet, you’ve got a problem,” Gillespie said. “They’re not your pets. They’re her pets.

“She can do what she wants in her house, but that doesn’t include you.”

He told her he won’t hesitate to lock her up if she breaks his rules.

To pay restitution and other fees, Cikanek and Goldman said she would sell her property in Winnemucca. The public defender asked the judge to give her time for the sale to go through to pay. In response, Gillespie extended probation from two years to five.

He set another hearing at 8:30 a.m. on July 16 to reschedule payments if Cikanek’s sale goes through.
