The judge said that the dogs were subject to a 'very high level of suffering'.
A woman has been sent to prison after keeping nearly 200 dogs in a 'truly pitiful condition' in North Devon .
Judge James Adkin, who sentenced Curtis, said: “The pictures show many of them in a truly pitiful condition.“A very high level of suffering was caused to the animals."It seems to me you did love them for the comfort they provided for you. But you were selfish and had too many.Devon and Cornwall Police found a large number of dogs abandoned in a field in Chittlehamholt near Umberleigh on March 3 2023.
The surviving dogs, including eight litters of puppies born since they were taken into RSPCA care, have mostly been rehomed, with just a handful waiting to find new owners.A spokesperson for the RSPCA said: "We know how much people enjoy having animal companions in their lives but it's possible to become overwhelmed when caring for so many animals.
“We’d like to say a special thank you to all the other charities and organisations who helped these dogs.“The police were also fantastic in the assistance that they provided.
