TWO puppy farmers have admitted 'unspeakable' cruelty towards a number of dogs who later died.
Tom Mongan, 28, was responsible for three dogs at rented properties in Shawlands and Tollcross.The charge says that the dogs were not kept in a clean condition and suitable environment.The pair were found to have worm burden, underweight body condition, parasitic infestation, haemorrhagic diarrhoea and parvovirus symptoms.
The charge says William's dogs suffered from worm burden, poor coat and body condition, parasitic infestation, hemorrhagic diarrhoea and parvovirus.Tom pleaded guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to three charges while William admitted two.Brigid Mongan, 40, and Ellie Mongan, 30, had their not-guilty pleas accepted by the Crown.Sheriff Mark McGuire asked Atlanta Jack, defending Tom, why the Belfast-based brothers were in Glasgow.
She replied:"The narrative is still to be agreed but it was AirBnB properties which are on the charges. They live in Ireland." Sentence was deferred pending background reports until November when more information surrounding the circumstances will be heard. Sheriff McGuire told the pair:"You both have pled guilty to multiple offences involving what understandably would be described as cruelty to animals."Without hearing a narration, the charges alone speak volumes.
