| Red Rose Database
Bagillt Animal Abuser
In a disturbing case of animal neglect, Jane Edwards, born around 1971 and residing at Riverbank, Bagillt CH6 6JW, was found responsible for leaving several animals to suffer and perish in a snow-covered field. The incident came to light when carcasses of sheep and a Shetland pony were discovered on her family’s smallholding, revealing a tragic scene of neglect during harsh winter conditions.
Investigations revealed that the carcasses of the sheep and the pony had been abandoned in the field, which was blanketed in snow, with no signs of food or hay to sustain the animals. In addition to the deceased animals, two live sheep were found sheltering inside a shed on the property. One of these was a black-horned ram, and both were in a severely emaciated state, indicating prolonged malnutrition. The conditions of the surviving sheep raised immediate concern, prompting further examination.
Veterinary assessments confirmed that the animals had suffered from neglect, with the surviving sheep being extremely thin and lacking proper nourishment. A post-mortem examination of one of the dead sheep revealed that it was suffering from anemia and had a parasitic infection, further evidence of inadequate care and neglect. The findings pointed to a clear failure to provide basic needs such as food and parasite control, which are essential for animal welfare.
Jane Edwards admitted to causing unnecessary suffering to the sheep by neglecting her duty to provide adequate nutrition and parasite management. Her actions, or lack thereof, led to the suffering and death of multiple animals, highlighting a grave case of animal cruelty.
In court, Edwards was sentenced to perform 100 hours of unpaid community work. Additionally, she was ordered to pay a total of £385 in costs and charges related to the case. As part of her punishment, she received a two-year ban on keeping animals, a restriction that expired in 2020. The case drew significant attention from local animal welfare groups and the press, emphasizing the importance of responsible pet ownership and animal protection laws.
