CONVICTED (2020) | Raymond Hoy Leckey, born 20/02/1963, of 20 McCandless Street, north-west Belfast BT13 1RU – refused to take his seriously ill Akita to the vet; dog seized by welfare officers and euthanised on humane grounds
Belfast City Council brought the prosecution against Leckey for causing unnecessary suffering and failing to meet the needs of the unnamed dog on 14 March 2018.
The Council’s animal welfare team seized the dog under veterinary advice after Leckey had refused to take her for a veterinary check, as directed by an animal welfare office on 12 March 2018.
Very sadly the dog had to be euthanised as she was deemed to be suffering.
Sentencing: two four-month prison sentences, suspended for 12 months. Disqualified from keeping animals for 10 years.
Absolutely Heart Breaking.
If you haven’t got the means to get Veterinary Help. Don’t bother to have them in the first place.
