CONVICTED (2021) | backyard breeder Alessia Di Livio (since deceased) of Windsor Close, Waringstown, Craigavon BT66 7RH – failed to seek treatment for dog missing an ear; neglected other dogs.
Di Livio was charged with causing unnecessary suffering to one dog and failing to ensure the welfare of four dogs under the Welfare of Animals Act (NI) 2011.
The court heard that, on May 12, 2020, a complaint was received from the PSNI regarding one of the defendant’s dogs.
The PSNI officer observed that the unnamed dog’s ear was missing and it was established that the owner had not sought any veterinary treatment for the condition.
The dog was then taken to a local veterinary practice who also raised concerns with the Animal Welfare Service about the previously untreated ear injury.
Upon investigation by the Animal Welfare Service the dog was taken into the possession of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council.
The following day a council animal welfare officer, accompanied by the PSNI, visited Di Livio’s property and concerns were noted in relation to the health and the environment in which three other dogs owned by the defendant were being kept.
Each animal was found to be underweight.
The animal welfare officer contacted a vet and subsequently all of the dogs were removed into the care of the council under Section 17 of the Welfare of Animals (NI) Act 2011.
Di Livio was sentenced this week by Judge Trainor who banned her from keeping animals for 10 years, describing the case as “a shocking situation”.
He remarked the case was “one of extreme seriousness that involved the sustained and continuous neglect of animals”.
Sentencing: six-month custodial sentence suspended for two years plus a fine of £500 for causing unnecessary suffering to one dog; four three-month custodial sentences, suspended for two years, for failing to ensure the welfare of her dogs. All sentences are to run concurrently. £1,000 fine; care costs of £ 5,821.37 plus legal costs of £184. Banned from keeping animals for 10 years.
She should of at least took the Dog to the Vet, for Stitching and Anti Biotics.
They had probably been Fighting.
Unless you have the right set up, you can forget it.
Failing which: this is the result.
