CONVICTED (2011) | Ian Gordon Turner, born 17 June 1984, of Main Street, Carnwath ML11 – cut off a Rottweiler’s tail while high on drink and drugs by trapping it in a door
Turner maimed the Rottweiler cross, Tyson, he had bought just three weeks earlier.
Unemployed Turner, who has tattoos on his face, has a string of previous convictions and was on probation when he attacked the dog in August 2010.
Despite being left with an open wound Tyson received no veterinary treatment. A Scottish SPCA inspector said that the dog had suffered greatly in the months since the tail docking.
Turner avoided prison after Lanark Sheriff Court heard he has been attending drug rehabilitation and anger management courses.
Sentence: 180 hours of community service; 5-year ban on keeping animals (expired 2016).
Even if this was an Accident.
He should have sort Veterinary Help.
The Vet would have Cleaned The Wound and Stitched It Up, and given Pain Relief and Anti Biotics.
There Is No Excuse for Not Seeking Veterinary Help when you have to.
