CONVICTED (2021) | Thomas Gerard Mongan, born 6 November 1964, of 27A Park Urney, Forkhill, Newry BT35 9WF – for the appalling neglect of a dog found in a state of distress
The distressed dog was found in a desperate condition after being effectively abandoned by his callous owner, traveller Thomas Mongan. He had been left to lie in his own faeces which had caused severe matting to his coat and was also suffering urine scalding. He also had to have a tooth extracted.
Vets had to sedate the dog to shave his coat due to the extreme matting that was present. This was caused by a build-up of faecal matter and a lack of grooming.
Following legal action by Newry, Mourne and Down District Council Mongan was found guilty of failing to ensure the welfare of a dog in his care and causing it unnecessary suffering. The defendant did not appear in court and the case was proven in his absence.
Sentencing: fined £500 for each of the two charges plus a total of £210 in costs and fees. He was banned from keeping any animal for life.
Another Mentally Disturbed Scum.
