Target: Mr. Chris Humphreys, Crown Prosecution Service, South West, United Kingdom
Goal: Investigate and ensure stricter penalties for the individual allegedly responsible for abusing a nursing dog, and enforce stronger animal welfare regulations.
In Cornwall, animal lovers are expressing outrage over the lenient fine received by Sharon Jeannine Gladwell, who allegedly kicked and punched a nursing dog named Trust. Trust was purchased as a puppy under an agreement to return to Gladwell for breeding. In July 2021, while monitoring the whelping room cameras, Trust’s owner reportedly witnessed Gladwell kicking and punching the dog as she lay with her litter of eight puppies. Gladwell pleaded guilty to two offences under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 and was sentenced on June 18 at Bodmin Magistrates’ Court.
This incident highlights the urgent need for stricter enforcement of animal welfare laws to prevent such cruelty and ensure justice for the animals involved. Take stringent measures to hold individuals accountable for alleged animal abuse and ensure the well-being of animals in our community.
