Man Admits to Keeping Dog in Filthy Conditions
A 56-year-old man from Ross-shire has admitted to keeping a Lurcher-type dog in unsanitary and unhygienic conditions at a property in Contin.
Edward Stewart, of Tarradale Gardens, Muir of Ord, appeared at Inverness Sheriff Court and pleaded guilty to failing to protect the dog from unnecessary injury and suffering.
- The dog was kept in conditions with faeces and urine on the floor.
- Hazardous materials were piled up where the dog was kept.
The charge stated that Stewart failed to protect the animal between October 17 last year and January 10 this year.
Sheriff David Mackie deferred Stewart's sentence until November 27 for a social work background report.
