CONVICTED (2020) | Stephen Smith, born c. 1977, formerly of High Street, Newarthill – failed to feed his pet cat for two months

Stephen Smith and Molly, who died after suffering severe organ failure from malnutrition.


Stephen Smith failed to provide his cat, Molly, with a safe, clean living environment and also failed to provide an adequate diet between April and June 2020.

This sadly resulted in Molly suffering severe organ failure due to malnutrition which resulted in her death.

Squalid conditions in Stephen Smith's property

Scottish SPCA inspector Dawn Robertson said the living conditions were some of the worst she had ever encountered.

She said: “A call came in to our animal helpline reporting welfare concerns about a cat, who we later found out was Molly, in Smith’s property. The caller told us that Smith left Molly in the property for long periods.

“We attended the address and found nobody to be home. We had immediate concerns due to the strong smell coming from inside the property. We returned the following day and were again met with no response.

“Working on intelligence, we obtained the address of where Smith was staying and found him there. Smith agreed to allow us entry to his home on the High Street where he had left Molly.

“Upon entering the house there was an overwhelming stench of ammonia and faeces.

“The property was in an appalling state. The floor wasn’t visible due to rubbish, damaged furniture and appliances throughout. There was faeces and dirt everywhere. It was no place for a human or animal.”

“There was only one litter tray in the property and was overflowing. The bathroom was covered in faeces and it would appear this is where Molly had been toileting.

“There was no sign of Molly in the house. Smith claimed she had been missing since June 25.”

Inspector Robertson added: “After a thorough search of the property, Molly’s extremely thin, malnourished body was discovered under a bed in the bedroom.

“A post-mortem found that Molly suffered organ failure due to severe malnutrition. It would have taken at least two months for her to come to be in this condition.

“Upon questioning, Smith said that he had not been living in the property but returned to feed Molly every few days. Due to the extent of Molly’s condition, we believe that Molly had not been fed at all over the two-month period.

“Molly would have been caused to suffer considerably in becoming this thin and living in the awful conditions at Smith’s property.

“We believe that any conviction is a success but we are disappointed with the sentence Smith received. We were hoping for a sentence that reflected the level of neglect in this case.

“Molly’s death was entirely avoidable if Smith had provided her with even the most basic of care. She suffered directly due to Smith’s actions and he is ultimately responsible for her death.

“We hope Smith will carefully consider his ability to look after any animal in the future.”

Sentencing: fined £420 and banned from keeping cats for ONE year (expired December 2021).

Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire: Ayaz Hussain

1 Comment

CONVICTED (2020) | Ayaz Hussain, born 18 December 1994, of Keats Close, Aylesbury HP21 7UT – captured on video lashing his dog with a heavy metal chain lead.

Blaze

Hussain pleaded guilty to one offence of causing unnecessary suffering to his dog, a crossbreed called Blaze, by hitting him with a metal chain.

RSPCA inspector Gina Stallon, who investigated the case, said: “We visited Hussain’s address on 23 July after video footage was passed to us showing him lashing his dog with a heavy metal chain lead, causing the dog to bark and cry out in pain.

“We understand Blaze had been left in the flat while the occupants were out and had, allegedly, caused some damage, angering Hussain and prompting his violent outburst.

“In the video, Hussain is seen sending Blaze out into the hall where he then whips him hard across the back with the chain lead, causing him to bark out in pain.

“It is never acceptable to react so violently towards a dog, whether they’ve done something wrong or not, and it certainly isn’t acceptable to deliberately attack an animal in this way.”

Blaze

Blaze, who has been in RSPCA care since the investigation was launched, is doing well in kennels and will soon be ready to find a new home.

“I’d like to thank the witness who filmed this footage and had the bravery to come forward and pass it to us, without him we wouldn’t have been able to take this action,” Inspector Stallon added.

“Thankfully Blaze didn’t suffer any serious, long-term injuries as a result of this beating and he seems to be a happy dog who we’re sure will find a wonderful new home. After all, that’s what it’s all about. It’ll be great to know that 2021 marks a new start for Blaze and that he’ll be with loving new owners who show him the compassion, affection and kindness he so deserves.”

Sentencing: 40 hours of unpaid work and a 20-day rehabilitation requirement; ordered to pay a total of £495 in costs and charges. Disqualified from keeping dogs for just three years. Blaze – who was seized by police and has been in RSPCA care for five months – was removed from his ownership.

CONVICTED (2020) | Venezia Marie Strudwick, born 13 November 1994, of Lucas Road, Sudbury CO10 2WR – filmed kicking a dog in the ribs and dragging her by the lead.

Jana was kicked in the ribs by her owner, Venezia Sudwick, who has now been banned from keeping animals until December 2023


The RSPCA was contacted on February 8, 2020, by a witness who had recorded Strudwick roughly handling her dog, a black German Shepherd called Jana, and kicking her in the side.

The video showed Strudwick shouting and swearing at the dog, before yanking her on the lead as she put a rubbish bag in the bin.

A few moments later, Strudwick kicked the dog in the abdomen area with the side of her foot, causing her to yelp.

After being questioned by RSPCA inspector Nicky Thorne, Strudwick became “very aggressive” and denied kicking Jana, who appeared “subdued” and carried her head and tail low.

A different RSPCA inspector and police officers arrived at the address on February 13 and seized Jana, who was placed under the care of the welfare charity.

At a check-up, vets found Jana had suffered inflammation around her throat.

Strudwick pleaded not guilty to one offence under the Animal Welfare Act, but she was found guilty and banned from keeping animals, with the exception of fish, for three years.

Magistrates warned Strudwick she was lucky to avoid a prison sentence.

Dog abuser Venezia Strudwick

Jana has remained in the care of the RSPCA since February, where she is waiting to be rehomed with owners with no other pets who can continue her positive training.

Inspector Thorne added: “I am so pleased that we were able to help Jana and that she can now live the rest of her life without fear.

“This case demonstrates how important it is to understand your pet’s behaviour and how your actions can actually magnify any perceived problems rather than solve them.

“It is never acceptable to physically abuse your dog.”

Sentencing | ordered to pay a total of £735. Banned from keeping animals apart from fish for just three years (expired December 2023). Deprivation order for Jana.

Equine Abuse, horses and ponies

Llanfyrnach, Pembrokeshire: Alun Lloyd

CONVICTED (2020) | Alun Wynne Lloyd, born c. 1942, of Sunny Hill, Llanfyrnach SA35 0BZ – mistreated dozens of equines

Alun Lloyd's neglected horses

Lloyd was found guilty of nine Animal Welfare Act offences split over two separate cases. He was sentenced on Tuesday 22 December, 2020, having previously failed to attend court.

Some 31 horses in the care of Lloyd were being kept in an unsuitable environment, based in several fields at Esgyr Fawr in Cippyn where ragwort was prevalent.

Further offences specifically related to seven of the horses owned by Lloyd – six of whom his failure to act caused suffering unnecessarily.

One was suffering due to poor condition, while a further five had poor body condition and weight loss.

One of the horses was also suffering with an ulcerated sarcoid, while another also had serious dental issues.

Alun Lloyd's neglected horses

Lloyd also failed to meet the needs of three horses needing effective lice control, two requiring treatment for rain scald, while one was also not given necessary veterinary care and attention for respiratory distress.

Sadly, four horses had to be put to sleep due to the extent of their condition and not responding to intensive treatment.

Lloyd was given 28 days to make arrangements for horses still in his care – after being told by the court that he may not keep or own the animals for the next decade.

The RSPCA was contacted by Dyfed Powys Police about the state of horses at Esgyr Fawr – and launched an investigation. Officers from the animal welfare charity say conditions had not improved despite offering advice on previous occasions and that court proceedings followed “bad husbandry” and a failure to respect the basic needs of 31 horses.

RSPCA inspector Keith Hogben said: “Sadly, this case saw multiple horses cared for completely inappropriately – with some 31 not having their needs met, with repeated bad husbandry and several fields full of ragwort causing serious problems.

“Seven horses in particular caused us serious concern – with a combination of poor bodily condition, weight loss, dental problems and an ulcerated sarcoid causing suffering among this neglected group.

“Owning horses is a privilege – and unfortunately, despite repeated warnings, the standards of care have fallen well short of legal requirements here – and sadly these animals have paid the price.

Fortunately, the RSPCA was able to intervene and the majority of these horses will have another chance of happiness.”

Sentencing: six-month prison sentence, suspended for two years; £1,500 in fines and costs. Disqualified from the keeping and owning of horses for ten years but can appeal after five years.

Equine Abuse, horses and ponies

Darlington, County Durham: Christy Leigh Jones

CONVICTED (2020) | Christy Leigh Jones, born c. 1985, of 21 The Mead, Darlington DL1 1EU – kept five horses in appalling conditions, caked in faeces with overgrown hooves

Jones kept her horses in stables that, in the opinion of a vet, had not been properly cleaned out for at least six months.

Their hooves had also been left to grow untrimmed.

RSPCA Inspector Gemma Lynch, who led the investigation for the animal welfare charity said: “The stables in which the horses were found were filthy.

“The horses stood on inches of faeces.

“There was very little natural light and a strong smell of urine and faeces throughout.

“Micky, Paddy and Dinky’s stable doors were being pushed open by the buildup of bedding creating a gap where they could possibly trap a leg.

“In order to lead the horses out of the individual stables, piles of sodden straw and faeces in the central aisle had to be cleared as they prevented the stable doors from opening.”

A vet examined each of the horses and concluded Micky, Paddy and Ruby had not had any hoof trimming for at least 12 months or more; Dinky and Rainbowdash hadn’t had theirs trimmed for six months or longer based on the differences in hoof length.

It is normal practice for a horse to have their feet trimmed every eight to 12 weeks, and sometimes more frequently.

Another of Christy Leigh Jones's neglected ponies

The veterinary report submitted to the court also said: “These horses have been kept in appalling conditions.

“They were living in their own excrement and several of the horses had faecal material matted on their hair.

“This environment is completely unacceptable and is a significant health risk for these horses.

“Based on the depth of faecal material accumulated with bedding, I would estimate that these stables had not been appropriately managed for at least six months.”

Two of the horses have since been rehomed, with the remaining three soon to be made available for rehoming.

Sentencing: £840 costs. Five-year ban on keeping horses (expires December 2025).

CONVICTED (2020) | animal hoarder Julie Margaret Robertson, born c. 1967, of Derwent Road, Skelton-in-Cleveland, Saltburn-by-the-Sea TS12 2NU – kept 48 guinea pigs in cramped cages, crates and hutches without food, water or bedding

Hoarder Julie Robertson kept dozens of guinea pigs in horrific conditions. Some of the animals had already died and others were so emaciated they couldn’t recover


Julie Robertson kept dozens of guinea pigs in crowded conditions without food, water or bedding.

The animals were “nearly touching the ceilings” of their cages due to a thick layer of compacted faeces, urine and soiled straw.

Robertson pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to causing 14 guinea pigs to suffer and two further offences were proven in her absence.

RSPCA Inspector Clare Wilson, who led the investigation for the animal welfare charity, found multiple guinea pigs contained within two plastic indoor type cages within a garden shed at Robertson’s property.

Bodies of two guinea pigs were also found by inspectors and a few died due to “severe emaciation”.

Inspector Wilson said: “There were ten Guinea pigs confined in one cage and nine in another. They had no food or water available and no bedding or enrichment.

“The cages were steamed up with condensation. I found six more guinea pigs in a crate in Ms Robertson’s bedroom – they had no bedding, food or water and the crate was compacted with urine and faeces.

“There was a carrier bag next to the crate containing hay but there were no remnants of hay in their crate at all.

“I also found multiple guinea pigs confined within three hutches which were too small for the numbers of animals in them.”

She continued: “Each hutch contained a thick layer of compacted faeces and urine with soiled straw built up within it. The height of the dirty bedding in two of the hutches meant the animals were nearly touching the ceilings.

“The bodies of two further guinea pigs were found and none of the hutches had any remnants of food in or any enrichment.

“The smell was horrendous. Some of the guinea pigs looked thin and some had obvious eye problems.

“After they were examined by a vet they were taken to RSPCA Great Ayton animal centre for emergency boarding.

“The staff helped us provide plenty of bedding food and water and the guinea pigs demolished the food we gave them straight away.

“Several had to have eyes removed due to trauma suffered in the crowded conditions they were living in and unfortunately a few passed away due to their severe emaciation.”

Mitigation was heard in court that Robertson had looked after animals well before this but her defence admitted she neglected the guinea pigs.

They said she had arthritis so struggled cleaning them out and admitted she lost control of the numbers due to breeding.

Following the hearing, Inspector Wilson added: “Fortunately all of the surviving guinea pigs and many more babies that were born soon after removal have found loving new homes with owners who can give them the time and care they need.”

Sentencing: four-month curfew; ordered to pay £340 in costs and charges. Banned from keeping animals for 10 years.

Peasedown St John, Somerset: Henry Smedley

CONVICTED (2020) | Henry Alexander Vincent Smedley, born 5 January 1994, of Wellow Lane, Peasedown St John, Bath BA2 8JS – subjected a cat and dog to repeated violence

Convicted animal abuser and cat killer Henry Smedley from Bath, UK


Smedley was sentenced to an immediate prison term of 23 weeks following separate incidents in which a cat died and a dog was badly injured.

RSPCA Inspector Miranda Albinson began investigations after the charity received a number of calls claiming animals were being abused at an address where Smedley was staying.

Alongside reports from eyewitnesses, who spoke of their concerns at seeing Smedley mistreating animals, veterinary reports proved a cat, Maisie, and a dog, Lola, had suffered blunt force traumas, leaving them with injuries which had not been treated.

Maisie, a 10-month-old tortoiseshell cat, was taken to a vet by Smedley, who claimed that he was concerned she was dying after he found her drowning in a bath full of water he had left unattended.

Upon examination, vets found that she was already dead and had been for several hours, and that the account told by Smedley did not seem fitting to the clinical picture of Maisy.

She was in an emaciated condition, as though she had been neglected for some time, and the marks seen on her body did not fit with drowning and were more consistent with trauma. Further examinations found she also had 31 rib fractures, three spinal fractures, and a dislocation of the sternum.

A three-year-old Jack Russell terrier named Lola, who was kept in a small cage by Smedley, was also found to be underweight with her ribs, spine and pelvic bones visible. Radiographs taken of Lola revealed she too had seven rib fractures with at least two stages of healing which had not been treated by a vet.

After the sentencing, Ms Albinson said: “This was an extremely sad case involving a young cat whose life was cut short far too soon and a dog who experienced extreme pain and suffering from this physical abuse carried out over a period of time.

“During sentencing, magistrates described the case as the top end of the scale in terms of severity, noting that Smedley was responsible for deliberate and gratuitous suffering, prolonged ill treatment and neglect leading to death and serious injury with multiple injuries caused on more than one occasion.”

Smedley admitted to the charges relating to Lola and Maisie.

Lola has since been rehomed by the RSPCA and is now living happily with her new owners.

Sentencing: 23 weeks in jail. Banned from owning or keeping animals for life.

Tipton, West Midlands: Isaac McFarlane

CONVICTED (2020) | Isaac McFarlane, born c. 1999, of Upper Church Lane, Tipton DY4 – mistreated a Shiba Inu puppy.

Freelance photographer Isaac McFarlane was found guilty of four animal welfare charges after a trial at Birmingham Magistrates Court.

The court heard how McFarlane was seen to abuse the Shiba Inu dog called Yoshiko by a witness on February 16, 2019, and they reported the matter to the RSPCA. The witness said how they had seen the dog tethered on a short leash and have water thrown over her by McFarlane.

They also said they saw the defendant lift the dog completely off the ground by her front paw and he also lifted the dog by her tail – again with all four paws off the ground.

RSPCA inspector Vicki Taylor visited McFarlane’s address to investigate. She described how as she approached the garden she could see Yoshiko was lying down on the grass but struggled getting up when she saw her.

She said: “The dog appeared slow and stiff upon rising from the ground and uncomfortable when walking. The front end of the dog was treading tentatively over the garden and appeared like an arthritic older dog.

“The dog then lay back down.”

She then saw McFarlane and asked to see his dog – but as he went towards Yoshiko the pet appeared nervous and scared. The dog immediately backed away and, the inspector said, showed signs that she was scared.

Ms Taylor said: “The dog cowered and backed off, not wanting to go near McFarlane, turning her head away but trying to watch McFarlane, with her tail between the legs.

“McFarlane picked the dog up and brought her into the property where the dog walked straight into a dog crate in the kitchen and lay at the back.

“She walked very stiffly into the crate and when trying to walk back out when called hesitated and appeared to be sore getting the front right leg over the lip of the crate.

“I explained my concerns to McFarlane who admitted the dog looked stiff but denied hurting his pet.”

Ms Taylor asked if she could take the dog to be examined by a vet, to which McFarlane agreed, but Yoshiko could not walk to her van due to the injury and had to be carried.

On examination a vet found lameness on the right forelimb which was likely to have been caused by a soft tissue injury. This was consistent with what the witness reported.

Yoshiko has since made good progress in RSPCA care and is now in the care of a foster carer who plans to adopt her.

Ms Taylor added: “She is a playful and more confident dog that you would expect from this breed and I am pleased to say she is doing really well.”

Sentencing: 18-month community order which includes 200 hours of unpaid work and a 20 days rehabilitation activity requirement. Ordered to pay a total of £1,085 in fines and charges. A 10-year ban on keeping animals.

Runcorn, Cheshire: Adam Routledge

CONVICTED (2021) | Adam Routledge, born 1984, of Stenhills Crescent, Runcorn WA7 5EE, but with links to the city of Salford – threw a six-week-old kitten against a wall in a fit of temper

Police mugshot of Adam Routledge


Adam Routledge was sentenced in his absence to 18 weeks in prison. The father of three pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to causing unnecessary suffering to an animal, as well as drink-driving while disqualified.

Alison Warburton, prosecuting, said police were called to a house on Stenhills Crescent after reports a man had “thrown a kitten around a house and killed the kitten”.

When officers arrived, a young child who said Routledge had entered her bedroom and “thrown the cat against the wall” – was “cradling the six-week old kitten”.

The stricken pet was “in a lot of pain”.

Routledge was at the scene and said he “was frustrated the cats had fleas and he had been bitten by fleas”.

Adam Routledge

Routledge’s partner, Paula Doolan, took the pet to a local vets where he was treated with painkillers and anti-inflammatory medication and kept in to be observed.

When interviewed by police, Routledge said: “I had a few drinks and had an argument with my partner.

“My temper got the better of me and I picked up the kitten and threw it.
“I’m disgusted with myself.”

The kitten survived but Ms Warburton said his condition indicated the use of a “reasonable amount of force”.

Routledge was charged and bailed, but at 5pm on October 16, 2020, was spotted driving away from his house.

Police followed him and Routledge completed a loop of the street before pulling up.

Officers “could smell alcohol” and a breath test registered 62 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath, above the legal limit in England of 35.

Routledge was arrested by officers from Cheshire police and said he had been drinking the previous night until 4am and “he needed to go to the shop and thought he would be OK”.

He claimed he was “unsure whether his driving licence disqualification had finished”.

It had not.

The court heard Routledge had six previous convictions for eight offences including drink driving and assault.

There was no mitigation for Routledge as he did not attend court and nor did anyone on his behalf.

A letter from his solicitors asked the matter to be adjourned.

Routledge claimed he was self-isolating, but magistrates dismissed the claim after Ms Warburton questioned whether he could be trusted as “genuine”, having avoided several previous court dates for similar reasons without providing the results of tests.

These included on October 1 – just two weeks before he was spotted drink driving – when he claimed he had Covid-19 symptoms.

On October 22, he again claimed he was self-isolating and remotely indicated guilty pleas, but didn’t turn up to be sentenced on November 16, and when he appeared on November 20 he claimed he had “been in hospital with TB”.

Ms Warburton said his latest absence was “the third time we’ve heard he’s self-isolating – I suggest we ask whether that’s genuine”.

Sentencing: 12 weeks in prison for his “deliberate and gratuitous” animal cruelty with six weeks consecutive for drink driving while disqualified. Ordered to pay £278 in prosecution costs and victim surcharge. Banned from driving for 20 months. Banned from keeping animals for 10 years.

Liverpool Echo

Update 4 January 2021

The local newspaper reports that Routledge has had his case reopened after he appeared in court via videolink on December 21, 2020.

Routledge was bailed to return to court on January 13, 2021 in relation to the animal cruelty and driving matters.
