Guilty plea, facts of the case aren’t clear but appears an animal starved to death joint submission for conditional discharge and 12 months probation.Accepting responsibility to take care of animals, and allowing them to starve, die at birth etc. It is clear from the short statement on facts that the accused delegated this responsibility to a 3rd party.
[para 1] This is a sad case. Anyone who takes responsibility for looking after animals accepts the responsibility to care for them and when somebody delegates that responsibility and the animals end up starving, dying at birth, not being looked after, not being cared for, then it is no wonder that the Criminal Code calls this cruelty to animals.
