Causing unnecessary suffering to dogs *

Sentence

6 months imprisonment, disqualified from keeping dogs for life, ordered to pay £30,000 costs

Sean Kerr operated a puppy farm on Coventry Road, Bickenhill, where puppies were bred and sold to unsuspecting buyers, many of whom died shortly after purchase. Dogs were kept in cold, dark, filthy conditions in sheds and stables on wooden pallets with sawdust and no bedding. Four dogs, including three pregnant ones, were locked in a room in complete darkness. A dead puppy was found in a plastic carrier bag in a van. Instructions on a whiteboard included 'Keep puppies quiet, do not let them bark. Squirt them or use whip to crack in yard.' One dog had an untreated dislocated hip, another a painful skin condition, and some puppies were born with deformities. RSPCA removed 37 dogs and puppies in December 2015 following complaints.

Found guilty after a three-week trial of six counts of causing unnecessary suffering to dogs and three offences of failing to meet the needs of a number of dogs. Lodged an appeal on conviction and sentence.
