The owner Kriss Kesson, 60, has now been forbidden to keep dogs for at least 10 years and was given a suspended prison sentence.
On the afternoon of February 28 of last year, RSPCA officers went to Kesson’s house in Rydal Drive accompanied by the police, said prosecutor Joel Wootten to Woolwich Crown Court.
Inside the house, the officers found three ridiculous rhodesia and a dalmatian, all of which were visible emancipated with prominent ribs and hip bones.
They also found two dead puppies and a raising of Rhodesian Adult Rhodesian.
Mr. Wootten said: “The defendant told the officers that the dog had died a few days before and that he was waiting for the rigor to end up being able to bury him, while the puppies had died a few weeks ago.”
When asked why the dogs were so emaciated, Kesson said he had a bad knee and that he could take them out for a lot of exercise, so he had reduced their food.
The four living dogs, Ozzy, Max, Alice and Harry, were tasks for the RSPCA.
Wootten said veterinarians evaluated that dogs had been suffering for at least three weeks “if not certainly longer.”
Both Ozzy and Max died in RSPCA Care, while Harry and Alice have done good recoveries.
The veterinarians also evaluated the dead dog’s bodies and discovered that they also had a low significant weight.
Kesson declared himself guilty of four charges of causing unnecessary suffering to animals.
While he was released on bail with instructions not to keep any pet 10 more dogs and several fish were found at home.
Defending, Ben Wild said Kesson had been raising dogs for 30 years and was incredible attached to them.
He said that his health had deteriorated and that the health of dogs continued.
In the end, it had been Kesson who had called the RSPCA, according to the court.
On Tuesday, April 22, Judge Ben Gumpert KC sentenced Kesson to 30 weeks of custody, suspended for one year.
“These were sustained and prolonged periods of negligence, could not feed or care for these animals,” Judge Gumpert said.
He said that Kesson’s behavior suggested that he was not regretful, noting that the defendant had tried to blame those who tried to save the dog’s life for their deaths.
