KELLY ROSE MILDENHALL DOG MISTREATMENT AND UNLICENSED BREEDING SCANDAL

Kelly Rose, a woman from Mildenhall, has been found guilty of serious animal welfare violations and unlicensed breeding activities. Born around 1978, Rose resides at 3 Macpherson Robertson Way in Mildenhall, within the Bury St Edmunds area, with her husband Paul Rose. Her conviction stems from her neglect and mistreatment of dogs under her care, which has drawn significant concern from local authorities and animal welfare organizations.

Rose was ordered to pay a total fine exceeding £2,000 after she pleaded guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to a small dog named Milo, a Pomeranian. The incident involved Milo being attacked by another dog, an event that should have prompted immediate veterinary intervention. However, Rose failed to seek any medical treatment for Milo, neglecting the injuries and suffering of the animal. This neglect highlights her disregard for the welfare of her pets and her failure to provide proper care.

In addition to her neglect of Milo, Rose is known to operate a dog walking and pet sitting business called Pawkies. Investigations revealed that she regularly flogs litters of mainly small-breed dogs online, often without proper licensing or adherence to animal welfare regulations. Her activities included breeding dogs without the necessary licenses, which is a serious legal violation. During 2022 alone, Rose produced three litters of puppies within a span of just 12 months, further emphasizing her unregulated breeding practices.

Her unlicensed breeding activities and the mistreatment of Milo led to her being summoned to court, where she admitted to these violations. The court handed down a sentence that included fines totaling £2,330. Despite the severity of her actions, Rose was not banned from breeding or owning animals, which has raised concerns among animal welfare advocates about the adequacy of the penalties imposed.

Local authorities and animal rights groups continue to monitor her activities, emphasizing the importance of stricter enforcement of animal welfare laws to prevent similar cases in the future. Rose’s case serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing issues related to unlicensed breeding and animal neglect in the Mildenhall area and beyond.
