CONVICTED (2016) | Jacqueline Bursnoll, born c. 1964, of Wigan Road, Atherton, Manchester M46 0LW – left two Rottweilers to die painful deaths in squalid conditions.
RSPCA inspectors, called in by neighbours because of the appalling smell, found the bodies of Rottweilers Jacob and Mia side by side.
A post-mortem revealed both animals had died in tremendous pain having suffered an extended period of neglect by their owner Jacqueline Bursnoll.
The then 52-year-old was found in a drunken stupor in an upstairs bedroom of the Wigan Road property.
Tests found Jacob had died five weeks earlier after Bursnoll failed to find veterinary treatment for an intestinal blockage. Mia died after being starved and then fed a large amount of dried food, which fatally swelled her stomach.
Bursnoll admitted two counts of causing unnecessary suffering and two charges of failing in the duty of a person responsible for the welfare of animals.
Sentence: 10-week prison sentenced suspended for 12 months; total of £835 fines and charges. Banned from keeping pets for life.
All these scum who abuse any animal, need locking up. Not a fine, and myself I don’t condone violence but if I ever caught site of any of the scum I would not hesitate. As animal lover and have pets myself. They are my world..
Another Mentally Disturbed Scum.
There is absolutely no excuse for this Full Stop.
