FAILURE TO GET VET TREATMENT
A HULL man who failed to continue vet treatment for his dog who suffered a broken leg in a road traffic accident has been banned from keeping animals for ten years after a prosecution by the RSPCA.
Dexter Reid, 27, of St George's Road, pleaded guilty to one offence under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 and appeared for sentencing at Hull Magistrates' Court, when as well as the disqualification he was handed a ten-week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months.
The court was told how a veterinary nurse contacted the animal charity after she came across the accident scene on St George's Road. Boss, a mastiff-type dog, had been in collision with a car.
The canine was injured and in shock, but despite being urged to seek vet treatment by an RSPCA officer, the defendant waited two days before going to a PDSA clinic. The court heard how RSPCA officers made several attempts to persuade Reid to seek out help for Boss, but he failed to follow up an initial appointment and then made no further attempts to get the canine seen by a vet.
