The vet described the incident to police as one of “extreme cruelty”.
A man has appeared in court in the North facing charges linked to the discovery of a severely emaciated dog partially buried in a park, Belfast Live reports.
The court heard the dog was severely emaciated, had multiple punctures to the nose and head, the abdomen had collapsed preventing normal breathing and there were also fresh bite marks and broken teeth. A warrant was obtained and officers entered the property, where a pen was found containing three whippet/lurcher-type dogs without bedding or water and a large amount of faecal matter, the court heard. They were removed and taken to safety.
A defence barrister said his client denies any knowledge of the injuries to the dog and has provided “a narrative” of his whereabouts at the time.
