I love animals but unfortunately, not everyone feels this way and there are many cases of animal neglect. A recent case was in Cornwall and involved four English springer spaniel dogs. They were discovered by the RSPCA living in terrible conditions and suffering from several conditions.
The dogs- Lucky, Whisky, Jade and Serena- were covered in dog faeces and had staining indicating that they had been subjected to these awful conditions for a while. Lucky and Whisky had severe matting which was extremely tight and reached the floor, this could not only provide discomfort for the dogs but could also lead to tearing of the skin.
Jade had a huge mass weighing half a kilo hanging from her stomach between her legs, it was so large it would have taken months, if not years to get that way. Serena was suffering from a severe flea infestation, she had a bald area on her back and a fresh sore on her tail. All four dogs were suffering from advanced dental disease causing them significant pain.
They were handed into RSPCA care and treated but sadly Lucky, Whisky and jade did not recover from untreatable conditions. However, Serena has made a full recovery and has found a loving new home.
The Father and Daughter responsible were both disqualified from keeping dogs for ten years. He received a six-month curfew order and £2,836,16 costs. She received 150 hours unpaid work and £1000 costs
