MULTIPLE ANIMAL ABUSE LEGALLY TOLERATED BY COURT IN BRITAIN - PERPETRATORS CLAIM THEY SUFFER FROM A MENTAL DISEASE: ANIMAL HOARDING

Couple on benefits kept FIFTEEN dogs in horrific conditions... and they avoided jail by claiming they are compulsive ANIMAL HOARDERS

• Peter Higgins, 53, and Ann Warren, 38, banned from keeping animals for life
• Caring for the dogs has cost £40,000 since they were rescued
• Couple, who are on benefits, locked the animals in the cramped squalid property near Wigan which was caked in faeces and urine
• They were given 12 week suspended jail terms by magistrates

Unemployed Peter Higgins, 53, and Ann Warren, 38, kept the 'feral' hounds locked in cramped rooms inside their three-bedroom property in Tyldesley, near Wigan, Greater Manchester. 

 

The inbred cross-breed terriers regularly fought each other and would rarely be separated.

 

The animals were so desperate to escape the dirty rooms that they scratched through the plaster of the walls, exposing the brickwork.

 

RSPCA officials were called to the property after a tip-off and a dogfight broke out between the animals while they were there which resulted in one of the animals being mauled to death.

Higgins and Warren - who are on benefits - fled the house in a car as the officers tried to get inside with the police on June 26 last year.

 

They found that 'almost every surface' was covered in animal waste - and there was the body of a dead dog inside.

 

None of the animals were neutered, castrated or vaccinated, which fuelled their aggression. The investigation featured in Channel 5 documentary The Dog Rescuers.

 

Caring for the dogs since they were seized has cost £40,000 - including £10,000 in vet fees. 13 of the dogs will be rehomed - but the last one will not be because it is still dangerously aggressive.

Today Inspector Vicki McDonald from the RSPCA said the way the dogs were looked after made them violent and aggressive.
