🚨 KING CHARLES IS HEADING TO ANTIGUA. STRAY DOGS ARE BEING REMOVED AHEAD OF HIS VISIT.

The government has given us assurances of humane treatment, but no clear information about where the dogs are being taken or what happens next.

Look out for calls to action in the morning ✅

"DEPRAVED" MAN WHO BEAT ROMANIAN SHEPHERD TO DEATH JAILED FOR 10 MONTHS

A man who beat his dog so severely that he had to be put to sleep has been banned from owning or keeping any dog for fifteen years.

He was also jailed for 10 months for animal offences.

Terry Thurling, from Stirling, pled guilty to striking his dog, a three-year-old Romanian Shepherd named Griffin. The object was believed to be a golf club. He used excessive force several times which fractured the dog’s skull.

The dog was left with such severe injuries to the body, causing pain and suffering both physically and mentally that he had to be put to sleep.

Thurling was sentenced at Stirling Sheriff Court on Wednesday 15 January.

A Scottish SPCA Inspector said: “On that day Thurling phoned the dog wardens to tell them he had hit his dog and demanded they take the dog away. When the Dog Warden arrived, they found the dog with blood all over his head. They contacted us and we arranged to meet them at a local vet as soon as possible.

“He had a swollen head and eyes, with the third eyelid coming across the eye on the right-hand side. There was blood on the top of the head and lumps on his back. The dog appeared in reasonable body condition other than the injuries and was calm and docile.

“The dog who was quiet but responsive and showed no signs of aggression during the handling procedure. There was fresh blood over the skull and bridge of his nose and covering his muzzle. There was extensive painful swelling over the top of his skull.

“The vet concluded that the dog was hit over the top of the head at least six times with enough force to fracture its skull – he had obviously been subjected to unnecessary suffering.

“A decision was made for the dog to be euthanized on welfare grounds due to the extent of his injuries.

“We are pleased at the sentencing today. Griffin had suffered extensively both physically and mentally at the hands of Thurling and this man should never be allowed to own animals again.”

🚨 EMACIATED DOG LEFT DEAD, WRAPPED IN A RUG IN HIS OWNER’S GARDEN — SHE AVOIDED JAIL

Jennifer Bentley, 47, of Congleton, Cheshire, has been banned from owning animals for life after neglecting her cane corso, Snoop, who endured prolonged suffering before his death.

An RSPCA officer who discovered his remains described an overpowering smell of decay, severe muscle loss around his pelvis, spine and back legs, and maggots around his head.

Bentley admitted Snoop had suffered diarrhoea for months but had not sought veterinary treatment.

A vet concluded the dog had endured at least a month of gastrointestinal discomfort, malnutrition and psychological distress. He had also been swallowing harmful objects, including bleach, plastic and shoes — behaviour that may have been linked to hunger or frustration.

His prolonged diarrhoea and extreme weight loss pointed to an untreated chronic medical condition. Although the precise cause of death could not be established, the evidence indicated he had suffered for a prolonged period.

After Snoop died, his body was wrapped in a rug and left in the back garden of Bentley’s former home. She told an RSPCA officer a cremation company had instructed her to put him outside.

At South Cheshire Magistrates’ Court, Bentley pleaded guilty to an animal welfare offence.

Her sentence:
▪️ 20 weeks in prison, suspended for 18 months
▪️ Lifetime ban on owning animals
▪️ £400 in court costs

Snoop was visibly unwell for months. He needed veterinary care, but none was sought. His suffering went untreated until he died.

You have cried for them. Now, please smile with them. ❤️

Lucky Star and Lucky Moon have both known lives no animal should ever have to endure. Their bodies still carry the evidence.

But suffering should not be the only story we tell about rescued animals.

Today, let’s pause the sadness and watch two broken souls being horses again — eating, arguing, flirting, getting annoyed with each other… and then standing miserably on opposite sides of the fence when we separated them. 😂❤️

Lucky Moon is currently in heat, so their first introduction became a little more “romantic” than planned! For her safety, they are temporarily separated and will be reunited once her cycle ends.

After everything they have survived, these moments are precious.

Rescue is not only about saving a life. It is about giving that life something worth living for.

If their stories brought tears to your eyes, today please smile for Lucky Star & Lucky Moon. ⭐🌙

And please help us continue giving broken animals their second chance. ❤️

Wondering about this cross on his back? It’s a temporary mark that lets ground and air teams monitor him as he recovers.

Our Vet Units work in partnership with the Kenya Wildlife Service across key ecosystems in Kenya, and this is one of more than 15,000 cases they have attended.

Can you spot the problem?

Over the weekend, our Tsavo Vet Unit helped this young bull with a huge abscess. We’ll spare you the video of the treatment, but after a successful emergency operation in the field that tackled the infection at source, he was much happier and lighter.
