CONVICTED (2015) | Norman Davies, born c. 1959, of 27 Grafton Road, Ellesmere Port CH65 2BD – cut a dog’s throat with a kitchen knife after she urinated inside
Davies launched a vicious attack on his dog, Misty, after taking her for a walk in a secluded area.
Chester Magistrates’ Court heard he held onto her collar and cut her throat – later claiming it was because she was urinating inside the house.
Misty, who ran away, was found the next morning and taken to a vets, where her throat was stitched up.
The RSPCA said Misty, who has a loving new home, had “an incredibly lucky escape”.
Davies pleaded guilty to one count of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal.
RSPCA inspector Lisa Lupson, who investigated the case, said: “Misty would have been absolutely terrified and it would have been excruciatingly painful for her.
“Davies cut clean through her skin but missed her main arteries. If Misty had not managed to get free when she did then she may not be here today – she had an incredibly lucky escape.
“Thankfully she has now been rehomed and is making progress in getting on with her life after suffering this horrific ordeal.”
Sentencing | jailed for 18 weeks; costs of £1,653. Banned from keeping animals for life
Scum such as this shouldn’t keep Dogs.
If you haven’t got the patience for Basic Training that a Dog will obviously need. Then don’t get a Dog in the first place.
