An inspector said the property 'made her eyes water'
A couple from Lancashire have received suspended prison sentences after the RSPCA found 25 animals including numerous dogs in crates, at their house in Colne.
Magistrates heard how RSPCA inspector Emma Dingley had gone to the property on 25 June last year after the charity had received a concerned call about a dog with matted fur. “I could hear more dogs in the front room so asked if I could have a look at these. The conditions in this room were shocking. The smell of ammonia was so bad it made my eyes water and made me cough. There were crates on top of crates, all containing dogs. None of these crates had any bedding in them and all the dogs were standing on the wire base of the crates. There was no food or water in any of them.
Police seized all of the animals and handed them into the care of the RSPCA, where they were transported to the charity’s Greater Manchester Animal Hospital for assessment. Apart from one dog, who was sadly put to sleep on veterinary advice due to severe leg and back issues, many have already been rehomed by the charity.
