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:
Lack of opportunity to study science 'could be impacting future doctors'
Glen Maye patient airlifted to the UK
Trial for man who denies being controlling and coercive
Visitors asked to avoid main cemetery entrance on Sunday
Onchan man accused of committing act against public justice
Douglas Council using reserves to pay for 'decorative' promenade lighting
