SUGARLOAF CREEK
A 27-year-old Sugarloaf Creek woman was convicted of two counts of animal cruelty at the Seymour Magistrates Court on Thursday, January 16.
RSPCA Victoria Inspectors attended a property in Sugarloaf Creek after receiving a cruelty report from a member of the public who found two visibly underweight dogs without access to water.
The inspectors instructed the woman to immediately provide the animals with water and created a written feeding plan and flea treatments for the animals.
Despite initially regaining weight, the Inspectors found the two dogs were soon underweight again without access to water and seized the animals.
KILMORE
A 57-year-old Kilmore man pleaded guilty to four charges of animal cruelty at the Seymour Magistrates Court on Thursday, January 16.
RSPCA Victoria Inspectors attended a property in Kilmore after receiving a tip-off from a member of the public about a group of abandoned cats and a dog living in squalid conditions.
The property had an extensive buildup of faeces and urine inside with no food or water available for the animals, who were suffering from significant dental disease, cat flu, flea infestations, matted fur, and had ingested foreign objects.
