CONVICTED (2017) | Brendan Joseph McCabe, born 14 January 1967, of Moss Row, Darkley BT60 3BG – left an elderly dog behind when he moved out of a property
In June 2015 Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council received a complaint about a dog who had allegedly been left on his own for five days at Lir Gardens in Keady.
A council animal welfare officer attended and found an elderly male Rottweiler-type dog in the yard of the property.
McCabe was no longer living at the property and he had not made any arrangements for care of the dog at this location nor had he made any arrangements to take the dog with him to his new address at Moss Row, Darkley.
The unnamed dog was examined by a veterinary surgeon, and taken into possession by the council. His fate is unknown.
McCabe was fined just £200. He was not banned from keeping animals.
How Heartless Can A Person Possibly Be,
To Leave His Elderly Dog Behind,
To Fend For Himself With Nothing.
