CONVICTED (2015) | Albert Stephenson, born 17 January 1957, of Chandos Avenue, Ealing, London W5 – seen yanking, kicking and hitting his German Shepherd on several occasions near his home.
Stephenson pleaded guilty to animal welfare offences on 9 January 2015.
The RSPCA was called in May 2014 after a witness was concerned to see the dog being subjected to physical trauma on his walks along the city streets. Several witnesses subsequently came forward to report similar sightings.
They said they saw the defendant regularly losing his temper with the three year-old male German Shepherd, now called Shadow but previously named ‘Oi Dog’, and so mistreating him.
RSPCA inspector Mike Beaman said: “Poor Shadow was the victim of regular abuse.
“People saw him being hit, kicked, shouted at, yanked with his lead and even whipped by his lead. It must have been a miserable existence.
“Owning a dog is a responsibility and a privilege, and this animal was simply not treated with the kindness he deserves.”
Sentencing: ordered to pay £870 in costs and fines. Banned from owning dogs for a year (expired 2016).
