Man fined £4,500 and banned from keeping animals
Animals rescued from 'appalling conditions', and an owner prosecuted for animal neglect - the ManxSPCA says its close connections to police are paying off.
Last week, a Douglas man was found culpable for illegally keeping two birds of prey, and willfully neglecting two dogs.
The animals were rescued by the charity, which then reported their treatment to the constabulary - they were living in a toilet, and suffering severe malnourishment.
Their carer was fined £4,500, and banned from keeping animals for 10 years.
General manager, Juana Warburton, says the Island takes a joined up approach to tackle situations like this one:
DoI to change rent-setting model for public sector housing
Candidates could need to declare interests to stand in 2026 General Election
Customs and Excise office to relocate
Douglas man convicted in Island's 'most complex child abuse image investigation'
