CONVICTED (2017) | Danielle Elizabeth Brown (also known as Danielle Davidson), born 8 April 1986, of Dunlop Street, Linwood, Paisley PA3 3AL – starved pet dogs Shasta and Skylar and refused to take them to the vet.
Brown’s cruelty left seven-year-old Shasta in such a “terrible state” that a concerned vet felt there was no option but to put the animal to sleep.
The dogs were taken to the vet by investigators from the SSPCA following an anonymous tip-off that they were being neglected.
Investigators arrived at Brown’s home and took the animals away to have them examined.
Shasta’s ribs, hips and spine could clearly be seen through his coat. He also had a fever and tests revealed he had become blind in one eye due to glaucoma.
Vets who examined two-year-old Skylar could also clearly see her ribs, hips and spine.
Single mother Brown pleaded guilty to neglecting both pets between February 27 and March 27, 2017, in breach of the Animal Health and Welfare (Scotland) Act 2006.
Sentencing:
Community Payback Order of 75 hours of unpaid work over three months. Banned from owning animals for just five years (expired November 2022). Deprivation order on the surviving dog, Skylar.
This woman has animals now. At least a cat.
Well her ban doesn’t expire for another two years so she’s breaking the law. Is she still at 32 Dunlop Street?
