“Each kennel had a large build up of faeces in it. They were small and the run areas had large amounts of faeces built up inside, while the sleeping areas for each were extremely basic and looked inadequate in terms of shelter or bedding.”
A man has been banned from keeping animals for 10 years after eight dogs were found in inhumane conditions and cuts and scars to their faces.
RSPCA Chief Inspector Ian Muttit, of the charity’s SOU said three adult dogs and a puppy were kept in very poor conditions in kennels located in Robertson's back garden. The dogs included a bull lurcher called Barn, a female bull lurcher called Bella, Patterdale terrier called Punch and a lurcher puppy.
An RSPCA SOU Inspector stated: “The conditions in these kennels were extremely poor. Tilly and Mash had no water in their kennels and all the dogs had very dirty kennels with lots of fresh and mouldy faeces inside them.” Thorn had a broken tooth and a wound on her front leg, extending into her muscle. Mash's left eye and chin were inflamed and swollen, Braken and wounds on his mouth and foot pad and Jess suffered fur loss and her nasal septum was missing.
He also failed to provide a suitable diet for Tilly and failed to provide for the needs of Bella, Punch and Bam. In mitigation, the court heard Robertson had learning difficulties and was “regarded as a soft touch for animals in the area”.
