CONVICTED (2023) | irresponsible backyard breeder and wildlife persecutor Anthony Andrew Searl, born 9 October 1987, of Green Meadow Drive, Tongwynlais, Cardiff CF15 7LU – kept seven ‘hunting’ dogs in disgusting conditions without food and water.
Bloodsports fanatic Anthony Searl was prosecuted for animal cruelty after two of his seven dogs escaped and one was knocked down.
Police Community Support Officers (PCSO) came across the dogs while on patrol and local enquiries led them to Anthony Searl.
Officers attended Searl’s home and discovered a skeletal whippet locked in a cupboard, without any food or water and covered in her own faeces.
Three terrier puppies were locked in another room while their mother was in a bathroom. All of the dogs were kept in the same atrocious conditions.
Searl was arrested, and the seven dogs were taken to the vets.
The terriers were passed into the care of a local rescue while the whippets needed further veterinary treatment for injuries and malnutrition. Happily they too were nursed back to health and can also be rehomed.
Searl admitted causing unnecessary suffering to animals.
Sentencing | 12-month jail term suspended for 18 months. Banned from keeping animals for 10 years (expires February 2033).
