| Red Rose Database
Lytchett Matravers Animal Abuser
Tani Ruby Mabey, born on May 12, 1998, and residing at Bridge Close, Peatons Lane, Lytchett Matravers, Poole BH16 6HW, has been found guilty of neglecting her responsibilities towards two African pygmy hedgehogs. The case was heard at Poole Magistrates’ Court, where it was established that Mabey failed to provide the animals with the basic necessities required for their well-being.
According to court proceedings, Mabey was charged with two counts of neglect under the Animal Welfare Act 2006. The allegations detailed that she kept the hedgehogs in conditions that were entirely unsuitable for their health and safety. It was further claimed that she did not ensure they had access to adequate food or water, which are fundamental to their survival and health.
The court heard that the conditions in which the hedgehogs were kept did not allow them to exhibit normal behavioral patterns, a key indicator of animal welfare. The animals were also at risk of suffering pain, injury, or disease due to the neglect. These findings underscored the seriousness of the case and the failure to meet the animals’ basic needs.
During the hearing, Mabey admitted to both charges, which were brought against her under the provisions of the Animal Welfare Act 2006. The offences date back to October 15, 2020, and reflect a pattern of neglect that had persisted over that period.
In her sentencing, Mabey was given a conditional discharge for 12 months, meaning she would not serve time in prison unless she committed further offences within that period. Additionally, she was ordered to pay a total of £1,569 in compensation to cover the costs associated with the animals’ welfare. She was also required to pay a £22 surcharge and £85 in court costs.
Furthermore, the court issued an order for Mabey to relinquish ownership of the hedgehogs. The animals are to be removed from her care and properly disposed of or rehomed in suitable conditions, ensuring their future well-being.
In a broader context, this case is part of a series of animal cruelty incidents linked to Mabey and her associates. In July 2022, she was charged alongside others with cruelty to 11 dogs seized from a farm in the Purbecks, Dorset. The co-accused included Lee Anthony Mabey, Lewis Todd Longstaffe, Jay-Lee Arnold, Kylie Melissa Davies, and Mark Amos Mabey. Notably, charges against Lee Mabey, Jay-Lee Arnold, and Kylie Davies were later dropped after the prosecution decided not to proceed with evidence.
As of now, updates are awaited regarding the cases of Lewis Longstaffe and Tani Mabey, with the latter having a pending trial or sentencing related to her previous offences. The case highlights ongoing concerns about animal welfare in the Lytchett Matravers area and the importance of strict enforcement of animal protection laws.
