WHITNEY WILLIAMS CONVICTED IN BIRMINGHAM FOR ABUSE OF PETS
| Red Rose Database
Stechford Animal Abuser
Whitney Leigh Williams, born on 7 April 1993 and residing on Stud Lane, Stechford, Birmingham B33 9EX, was convicted of keeping five pets in deplorable conditions in 2025. Williams admitted to animal welfare offences involving four dogs — including a mother and her young pup — as well as a cat.
The animals were confiscated by police after being discovered in a property filled with rubbish and faeces, with no access to food or water. All five animals were found to be underweight, with their bones clearly visible through their fur.
Williams also neglected to seek veterinary care for one of the dogs, which suffered from chronic hip issues and a paralysed hind leg that he was unable to use. Unfortunately, veterinary professionals concluded that the kindest course of action was to humanely euthanise the dog.
A veterinarian who examined the animals stated: “In my professional opinion on a veterinary basis, the owner of these five animals failed to meet their basic needs, specifically the failure to provide an adequate environment, one that is reasonably clean, free of hazards, with suitable bedding and a designated toilet area. Photographic evidence clearly shows this.
“None of these animals received an adequate diet, either in quality or quantity, as evidenced by their poor body condition score.”
RSPCA Inspector Vicki Taylor, who led the investigation for the charity, commented: “Our pets are entirely dependent on us for their care. Leaving animals without food, water, or necessary veterinary attention jeopardises their health and well-being.
“If any pet owner is struggling to care for their animal, we encourage them to contact a local charity or organization that can provide assistance.”
The remaining dogs and the cat were transferred into the care of the RSPCA and have since been rehomed.
Regarding sentencing, Williams received an 18-month supervision order with 25 days dedicated to ‘rehabilitation’, a six-month alcohol treatment order, and was ordered to pay £164 in costs. He is also subject to a 15-year ban from owning animals; however, he can appeal after just five years.
