The ECHO has heard a number of disturbing cases where owners have locked their pets in squalid conditions
The disturbing case of animal neglecter Laura Tate was heard in Liverpool Magistrates' Court this week.
Laura Tate The animals were found by the property’s landlord - in squalid conditions - on April 14 last year after their owner Tate had moved out and left them. Genghis, a black and white bull breed dog was found dead in the hallway after being shut in the lounge with no food or water. Inspector Cooper said: "On approach to the door of the flat I could smell a strong, foul smell which smelt like rotting flesh. This smell increased when the door was opened and when I went inside it was overpowering."
“However, it is reasonable to conclude they died while housed within the flat and at that time they did not have access to drinking water and the environment was unsuitable by virtue of numerous faeces deposits and physical injury hazards such as sharp edged tin cans and shards of glass. Liverpool Magistrates Court heard on January 24 that the newly married couple moved out of Dorset Gardens to their current property in Bebington Road, Birkenhead, last year, but did not bring the eight month old puppy as they claimed it would be attacked by their other dog, Molly. Leanne Brookshaw said she had visited Dorset Gardens since moving, and saw water and biscuits but agreed the “place was a s***hole”.
The RSPCA also confirmed that Coco had been suffering from hunger and starvation for a period of several months prior to her death. The vet said: “She will also have experienced periods of time where she had no access to water and will have suffered from dehydration; however she was obviously able to obtain enough water to survive based on the infrequent visits”.
Paul Wynne Paul Wynne appeared at Liverpool Crown Court in July of this year after he pleaded guilty to three charges regarding the treatment of animals in his care. Merseyside Police originally attended an address on Rockford Avenue, Kirkby, due to concerns for Wynne. The flat was registered in the name of Wynne's partner Laura Martin. However she had moved out of the flat to look after her sick mum Marie - and while she was gone Wynne changed the locks to stop her discovering the horrors within. After being interviewed by the police Wynne said he left the animals because he "couldn't cope with what happened".
Steven Johnson Steven Johnson, from Kirkby, denied neglecting bulldog Diego after the dog was seized by police at the rubbish and faeces-strewn flat in Westhead Avenue. Liverpool Magistrates' Court heard how RSPCA inspector Lisa Lupson had visited the property on June 27 last year after being sent photos of the flat which was filthy and littered with rubbish and used food cans.
