Peter Toland appeared before Dungannon Magistrates' Court on Saturday
A man appeared in court on Saturday facing charges linked to the discovery of a severely emaciated dog that later died.
The person who found the animal, the court heard, had to dig around it as the ground was packed in. The court also heard that two males were seen walking from the area. Police attended the vet’s and observed the dog to be in an “extremely poor state” and receiving intensive care. Police commenced an investigation and there was a large community response to a social media campaign which lead to Toland being identified, the court heard. Information was received, the court was told, that more animals were at his home, but despite efforts police were unable to contact him.
The court heard this was contended to be by members of the public who had “looked for the defendant before police arrived”.
