RACHEL YOUNG OF ST HELENS BUSTED FOR ILLEGAL PUPPY TRADING IN MERSEYSIDE

Rachel Young, a woman from St Helens, has been found guilty of illegal puppy trading activities that spanned across the Merseyside region. Born on October 22, 2001, Young resides at 93 Newton Road, St Helens WA9 2HZ. Her involvement in unlicensed puppy sales came under scrutiny following a detailed investigation by authorities.

Investigators uncovered that Young maintained connections to a traveller site located on Sherdley Road in St Helens, which was linked to her illicit activities. The case was brought forward by Animal Protection Services, a dedicated charity organization responsible for investigating and prosecuting cases of organized animal cruelty. Their efforts revealed that Young was engaged in the sale of puppies without the necessary licensing, a clear violation of animal welfare laws and commercial regulations.

During the legal proceedings, Young admitted to conducting her business without the required license and also acknowledged her participation in unfair commercial practices. The court took these admissions into account when passing judgment. As a result, she was fined £300 and ordered to contribute an additional £250 towards prosecution costs. Furthermore, she received a two-year ban on dealing in dogs, which is set to expire in April 2023. This ban aims to prevent her from engaging in similar activities in the near future and underscores the seriousness of her violations.

The case highlights ongoing efforts by authorities to clamp down on illegal animal trade and ensure stricter enforcement of licensing laws. It also serves as a warning to others involved in unregulated animal sales, emphasizing the importance of compliance with legal standards to protect animal welfare and maintain fair commercial practices.
