Those poor animals
A man left two dogs suffering from cigarette burns and stabbing wounds - causing them both to be put down. Isaac Campbell, 29, of Highfields, Codnor, was found guilty at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates’ Court of two offences of causing unnecessary suffering to the dogs.
A vet who examined the dogs said: “On Frankie I found on the wrist a circular skin lesion next to a small healed skin lesion. On the right toe was also a healed lesion of similar appearance, as these had healed with unhaired scar tissue they were older healed wounds of unknown cause but had the appearance of puncture wound or cigarette burn.
"The pattern and flat appearance of the skin lesions is consistent with liquid burns caused by hot liquid poured over her back from a height. She exhibited pain reaction and skin hypersensitivity over her entire torso.” Campbell left court before his sentence was passed on February 28 and a warrant was issued for his arrest. District judge Johnathan Taff condemned Campbell’s actions as “sustained and systemic cruelty”.
The two animals acted aggressively towards RSPCA staff and vets, with their untreated injuries seemingly impacting their behaviour, meaning they sadly had to be put down despite work to rehabilitate them. The male dog bit an inspector as she took him for veterinary treatment and days later the female dog also attacked a vet during treatment.
