Suffering would have been experienced by this animal through systems of discomfort and inflammation which is most likely to have actually continued for a duration of a minimum of 3 days, perhaps longer.”
After the sentencing, Inspector Dingley said: “Ear cropping is a dreadful unethical, unneeded and repulsive practice which has definitely no advantages for the dogs and can trigger them long-lasting health, behavioural and social issues.
“This is done simply for cosmetic functions. We would prompt the general public and anybody aiming to purchase a puppy to bear in mind this is an unlawful treatment, which has an extremely negative effects for the dogs themselves.”
