Woman Starved Dog to Death as she was ‘Too Knackered’ to Care for it

A 27 year old woman locked her friend’s dog in a bedroom where
the animal starved to death as she was ‘too knackered’ to
care for the animal.
Ruth Carlisle locked Snuggles up for three weeks and denied the
Labrador food and water in that period, magistrates in Ely, Cambs
heard.As ‘punishment’ she was ordered to complete 60 hours
of unpaid work and pay £250 costs.
At the risk of editorialising, Jesus wept!!
60 hours unpaid work and £250?
For this? For starving a dog to death?
Again, at the risk of exposing a smidge of editorial bias, would it
be too much to hope that this heartless bitch someday, somehow gets a
sample of her own medicine?
What effort would it have taken to have given this dog the bare essentials to survive?
Carlisle told the court: “I just couldn’t hack it. I
didn’t have the time. I had to go to YMCA for a training course
and had to get up early and sometimes I was knackered when I came
back.”I was worried when she stopped barking, but I did not want
to get in there and find something.”
Magistrate Dr Christine Shaw said the dog’s owner, Audrey Clark was equally to blame for the neglect.
She said: “You said you trusted Miss Carlisle to look after
your dog, but you said yourself she could not even look after herself.
“And you said it was all right when you heard the dog had not been exercised for three weeks.”
Clark was fined £100, ordered to pay £500 costs and a
£15 victim surcharge. She was also banned from keeping animals
for life - but was allowed to keep up to three cats.
So what, cats are not ‘animals’ now?
If I get ‘banned from driving’ is it still OK if I do my motoring in a Volvo?
Part of the reason we have so much animal cruelty in this nation is
because of cases like this. A callous, heartless and totally avoidable
situation has seen a dog die in what one can only imagine to be a
horrific, drawn out, painful manner. And the guilty parties who caused
it, could have stopped and have been unable to adequately justify it
have been treated to the most lenient ‘punishments’
imaginable.
Please, please, please
Have YOUR say on animal cruelty related punishments.
