Please retweet CONVICTED | backyard breeders Stephanie Boyd, 42, and Daniel Jordan, 35, from #Marfleet, #Hull #YORKSHIRE AVOID JAIL - after they left six American bulldog puppies to starve to the extent where some developed spinal deformities, 3 died. On 28 December 2022 the six emaciated puppies were handed into a rescue centre by Danny Jordan, who pretended his child had found them dumped on a roadside. The RSPCA was contacted and an appeal for information was made in the media by the independent rescue centre which had the puppies. Sadly, two of the puppies were so poorly they died overnight, with the surviving four needing veterinary treatment. As a result of the media coverage, a member of the public contacted the RSPCA naming Boyd and Jordan as the breeders. The court heard that RSPCA inspector Claire Mitchell visited Boyd and Jordan’s address and spoke to them. In a witness statement presented to court, inspector Mitchell said: “I asked what had happened to their most recent puppies and Stephanie said that six puppies had been rehomed at the beginning of December to a man she didn’t know and had no details of.” The man who took the puppies to the rescue centre had left a telephone number, which matched Jordan’s phone number. Inspector Mitchell said: “At this point I suspected that it was Daniel Jordan that had dropped off the puppies [at the rescue centre] and that they had never been dumped.” A vet who examined the surviving puppies – three males and one female – said in a witness statement that the dogs, who were aged around four months old, were in a poor body condition. She added: “They had no muscle mass and bony prominences visible under the skin. All four puppies had a body condition score of one out of nine, where one is emaciated, and nine is obese. “All of the puppies had a hunched posture, appearance of curved spines and malnourishment and some live fleas were visible in their coats.” The vet added: “I suspected that the postural deformities shown in these puppies was due to malnutrition and limited exercise over a prolonged period." Sadly, one of the surviving puppies did not improve and was put to sleep to end their suffering. The three other puppies made a full recovery and have since been rehomed. Sentencing | four-month prison sentence suspended for 12 months; costs of £400 each. Lifetime ban on keeping animals. 🔴 ACTION NEEDED AGAINST BACKYARD BREEDERS DETAILS 👇 ukanimalcrueltyfiles.org/mar… hulldailymail.co.uk/.../thre…... #DannyJordan #DanielJordan #StephanieBoyd #XLBully #XLBullyban #dogs @RishiSunak @ConservativeAWF @Conservatives @UKLabour @Keir_Starmer @AngelaRayner @BBCNews @richardm56 @GMB @AmeliaHarperTV @thismorning @itvnews @channel5_tv @Channel4News @GBNEWS @EamonnHolmes @RSPCA_official @DeborahMeaden @rickygervais @domdyer70 #pets #UK @facebook #Sunak
