Our Animal Welfare Officer has actually effectively led a prosecution in relation to the operation of an unlicensed dog breeding establishment at Wyke Heather, Normandy, Guildford.
Following an examination long lasting almost 3 years and lawsuit, a guilty decision was provided on Wednesday 3 May at Staines Magistrates Court.
District Judge Cooper heard proof from members of the general public, along with our officers, the Police and a Veterinarian. The judge specified that it is almost ludicrous to recommend that breeding was not going on at the website.
The Judge desired it kept in mind that the accuseds were not unkind and did not plan to ill-treat the animals.
The accuseds, Mr Philip Gray and Dr Louise Keenan have actually been founded guilty of the offense and are on genuine bail. Sentencing will occur in Guildford Crown Court on 31 May.
Peter Burnage, Animal Welfare officer said: “If you’re considering purchasing a puppy, please do your research study. Ask if the seller has a licence and consult us if you remain in any doubt. If you’re suspicious or in any doubt, please contact us on 01483 505050. If you’re breeding dogs or thinking about doing so, please examine the legislation initially. Contact your regional authority if you require details about animal licensing.”
