Michelle Moran, 63, of Bebington, Wirral, has been banned from keeping animals for life after throwing her Jack Russell terrier Gypsy into a boating lake at Gautby Road in Birkenhead to drown. Moran claimed she believed Gypsy had cancer and tumours and could not afford veterinary euthanasia, but none of her alleged conditions were confirmed by any veterinary diagnosis. Gypsy's body was recovered from the lake by a member of the public on September 29 last year. When examined, the dog weighed just 3.7 kilograms and scored two out of nine on a body condition score, indicating severe malnourishment. Her mouth and nose were bloodied. Veterinary evidence confirmed the surrounding concrete wall would have made it almost impossible for a small or weakened dog to escape the water. Moran pleaded guilty to two offences under the Animal Welfare Act and received a 17-week suspended sentence, a lifetime animal ban, a curfew, and rehabilitation requirements. The RSPCA described Gypsy's death as horrendous and called Moran's actions extremely callous.

For us it is just wood, for them it was life... GREED MUST STOP Do we not realize WE are KILLING our world

Would You Support a WORLDWIDE Ban on Trophy Hunting?

I think it should be banned. What about you?

Hares should be protected, not persecuted. Tell the Irish Government @michealmartinTD @simonharristd to #BanHareCoursing 🐰🙏

Well done Canada 🇨🇦. Canada just made a strong move for wildlife. The country has officially banned the use of brutal poison that was used to kill gray wolf and American black bear across the nation. This poison did not just kill. It caused slow and painful deaths. Animals would suffer for hours. Many did not die right away. Some were not even the intended targets. Other wildlife, pets, and even birds could be poisoned by mistake. It was a cruel method with no control. Now that changes. This ban is about basic decency. Wolves and bears are not pests. They are part of the ecosystem. They help keep nature balanced. Removing them in such a harsh way only creates more problems. For years, people have spoken out against this. Wildlife advocates pushed for change. And now, that pressure has paid off. This decision sends a clear message. There are better ways to coexist with wildlife. Killing should never mean torture. It is a step forward. Not perfect, but progress. And it shows that when enough people care, change can happen. Source: - Animal Justice... Victory!
