#MostEvil | Robert Porter, born 26 May 1985. of 13 Tyndale Grove, Belfast BT14 8HP – starved his pet husky to death and left his body in his kitchen for four months.
On May 20, 2014, an animal welfare officer went to Porter’s previous address in King William III Crescent, Maghera, following a complaint. Inside, he was immediately struck by the smell of a decomposing body. He found the remains of the dog, Prince, in the kitchen, and noted the animal was very thin.
Further searches of the house uncovered rubbish, including empty tins of dog food.
Following a post-mortem examination, a pathologist found Prince was malnourished and weighed just 11kg. He had been dead for some time, his skin was dry and there was thick mould inside his mouth. There was no food in his stomach and the dog did not have a disease.
The post-mortem foundhe died from starvation and dehydration.
During police interview, Porter said he was Prince’s owner. He admitted the dog had been dead for four months before he was found and that he had not been fed for several weeks before he died.
District Judge Alan White described it as a “shocking” way for an animal’s life to end. He told Porter that he had seen photos of the dead dog which were “disgusting”.
Sentencing: 80 hours of community service; 12 month probation period; £266 costs. Disqualified from keeping any animal for five years (expired March 2021).
Another Mentally Disturbed Scum.
I am absolutely Heart Broken reading this.
How the hell can you leave something to starve to death.
If your that desperate, push him through the door of a Vets, or Tie him to the Gates of the RSPCA or Rescue.
Also such a pathetic sentence for what he did.
