| Red Rose Database
Devizes Animal Abuser
In a disturbing case that has shocked the local community, Jason Paul Chalke, a resident of Moyne Close in Devizes, was found guilty of a heinous act involving the abandonment of four innocent kittens. The incident took place in August 2019, when Chalke, who is employed as a fitter at Boel Rentals, deliberately placed the helpless kittens inside a bin bag and disposed of them in a communal bin.
Chalke’s actions have been widely condemned, as he admitted to causing unnecessary suffering to the four young animals. It remains unclear whether the kittens survived this cruel act, but the severity of the case drew significant attention from animal welfare advocates and local residents alike.
Following the investigation, Chalke appeared before Salisbury Magistrates Court in January 2021 to face charges related to animal cruelty. During the proceedings, he pleaded guilty to the charges and was subsequently fined £616. In addition to the financial penalty, he was ordered to pay a surcharge of £62 and costs amounting to £85.
Furthermore, the court imposed a ban on Chalke owning or keeping any animals for a period of three years. This restriction, which began in June 2021, is set to expire in June 2024, and it aims to prevent any future incidents of animal cruelty by the individual involved.
The case has sparked ongoing discussions about animal welfare and the importance of holding individuals accountable for such acts of cruelty. The community continues to demand stricter measures to protect vulnerable animals from similar harm in the future.
