CONVICTED (2014) | Barry John Garside-Neville, born 12 July 1984, most recently of Hall Farm Road, Gayton, King’s Lynn PE32 1RB – kicked and burned a Staffordshire Bull Terrier with cigarettes
In May 2014 Barry Garside-Neville, who has a string of previous criminal convictions for shop lifting and drug possession, was found guilty of subjecting a Staffy named Ruby to physical trauma.
The court heard how Garside-Neville picked up the dog and threw her against a wall “so the dog dropped to the floor”.
He then kicked the animal and also blew into her nose, which could have potentially suffocated her.
Police seized Ruby on 21June 2013.
In an interview with the RSPCA Garside-Neville said he had “given the dog a little tap on the arse after she pissed on the sofa“.
When Ruby was examined, she was also found to have a “severe skin condition” which caused alopecia and would have left the animal “very itchy”. They also found a recent cigarette burn on Ruby’s muzzle and a similar lesion on her shoulder.
Sentencing | jailed for four months. Banned from owning animals for life.
Four months we’ll that’s just about right for these judges these days there are ridiculous sentences.the abuse that poor dog went through does not warrant that stupid time in side.not a nice person he will be back out doing it again.benefit needs to stop when the s..t gets out.hit it where it hurts.
