Cases of animal abuse are increasingly transcending around the world due to the huge social awareness that exists regarding the care our pets deserve. Last month, without going any further, news broke of a woman who was moving to another city in the United States and He abandoned his dog at the airportcall Baby girl, because they didn’t allow him to embark with her. Now, what was done by a British citizen went further and above all due to the harsh sentence received by the authorities.
The case of the owner of a dog who was euthanized after his claws grew so long that he was difficult to walk came to the civil court in Blackburn, in the United Kingdom.
The dog, of the Bull Terrier breed, belonged to Ian Podmore41 years old, until her nails grew so long that got stuck in its bearings.
The six-year-old dog also had a bilateral ear infection and extensive hair loss caused by a chronic skin disease. It meant that “Bentleys”as his pet was called, he was covered in scabs from head to toe, according to the Daily Mirror.
Podmore was Banned from keeping dogs for a decade after admitting two offenses under the Animal Welfare Act. And he was given an eight-week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months on both counts simultaneously. Podmare also has to do a 12-day trial in social rehabilitation activities.
For British justice, Podmore let himself be done and did not worry about his dog.
Inspector of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), vicky mcdonald, said he visited Podmore when Bentley’s health charity was contacted. But when she saw him, she realized it was already too late to save the animal and started to investigate and later decided to bring the case to justice.
As soon as he first made contact with “Bentley” McDonald decided to pick him up from Podmore and take him to the Greater Manchester Animal Hospital by the RSPCA for immediate treatment but had to be sedated to be examined. After several days of suffering, the dog died.
“It caught my attention right away. how thin I was and that he had an extensive skin condition and hair loss. I could also see that her claws were too big and deep in the pads, that they were infected,” McDonald said at the trial.
Inspector McDonald said the claws and pads on the animal”They were the worst” I’ve ever seen in his 20-year career as an animal rescuer.
