CONVICTED (2019) | Trevor Wayne Sunman, born 13 August 1973, of Fremantle Avenue, Hull HU9 4RH – starved and neglected two Staffordshire bull terriers and kept them in appalling conditions.
Humberside Police officers were called to the home of Trevor Sunman and found Staffies Lily and Herbie in such awful conditions they called the RSPCA for help.
When inspectors arrived, they slipped in the faeces covering the floor and found the dogs with no food.
The dogs were taken into the care of the RSPCA and made available for rehoming.
Sunman was found guilty in his absence of causing unnecessary suffering and failing to provide a suitable environment for the dogs.
Sunman said he thought his ex-partner was visiting the house to feed the dogs.
One of his charges related to Lily, who was found to be so thin and dehydrated she had to be placed on a drip, and the second charge was for both dogs being kept in an unhygienic environment.
RSPCA inspector Lucy Green said: “We were called by the police who initially saw the state of Lily and Herbie, the dog she was with.
“As soon as I got to the house, I immediately slipped in the faeces that was covering the floor.
“There was dog faeces and urine everywhere – I’ve never seen anything like it. It was simply a lack of food and care that led to these dogs being in this state and it could have been prevented.
“The good news is that they were lovely, friendly dogs, and recovered quickly as soon as we were able to feed and rehydrate them so they will now be able to be rehomed into loving new homes.”
Sentencing | 12-week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months; total of £415 costs and charges. 10-year ban on keeping all animals (expires August 2029).
Updates | February 2020
Following an appeal Sunman’s suspended prison sentence was reduced from 12 weeks to 10. All other conditions, including the one-year suspension period – which expired in August 2020 – and the 10-year disqualification order remain the same.
Trevor Sunman is now back living with his father and other family members in Fremantle Avenue. Worryingly, two Staffies live at the property and we hear they’re not being looked after properly, are verbally abused, rarely fed and never walked.
There have been two drug raids on the property in recent months and Trevor Sunman himself is said to be a known drug dealer. Neighbours in the area are said to be in fear of self-styled gangster Sunman and his family.
Lowlife scum … no good for anything … a complete waste of space.
