Please retweet, CONVICTED | Rebecca Anderson, 22, from #Chatham, #Medway, #Kent#UK – left her cancer-stricken dog to die alone and in pain at her abandoned home- AVOIDS JAIL ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
The RSPCA visited Anderson’s address several times during March and April 2024 after receiving a report of concern about the welfare of a bull-breed dog called Major. No one answered the door and Anderson failed to respond to messages urging her to contact them.
In late April 2024, the animal charity was contacted by a witness with access to the property, who said they had found a dead dog there who appeared to be “a bag of bones”.
A subsequent post-mortem found that the dog had died following complications associated with a malignant bone tumour.
Despite her pet’s obvious pain and difficulties with breathing and eating, Anderson had not sought vet treatment.
RSPCA Inspector Kirsten Ormerod said: “Following the post-mortem, the pathologist said that due to a lack of veterinary treatment, the bone tumour in Major’s chest led to him experiencing unnecessary suffering for a period of at least four weeks before he died..
“They concluded that if Major had been taken to a vet and been diagnosed, there would have at least been the option to humanely euthanise him or to instigate palliative treatment.”
While it was acknowledged that Major’s bone cancer, or osteosarcoma, was terminal, vets said it would be obvious to “any reasonable person” observing the dog that his problems required medical treatment.
He should have received palliative care in the form of anti-inflammatory drugs combined with opioid painkillers.
Inspector Ormerod added: “It is a pet owner’s legal responsibility to properly look after any animal in their care.
“Poor ‘Major’ died a drawn-out, painful death, because his owner Anderson failed to seek veterinary treatment for him which could have alleviated his suffering.
“For those with concerns about the health of their pet, please check our online advice about finding a vet.”
Sentencing | four-month suspended prison sentence. Unspecified ban on keeping animals.

RIP Major.
@InsureYourPaws I am complaining to the financial ombudsman as your service is shocking. Owed two claims, another claim has to be put to the vets today for our other pet and then the payment for his ashes and other services. All because he is a cross breed and not a mixed or WAS
Absolutely disgusted @InsureYourPaws - waiting on two lots of insurance pay outs for my dog who has now passed four days ago. Just because they are now thinking of upping his premium when he's not even alive. I've yet to pay his fee for being put to sleep or his ashes. Disgrace.
@Abtisam_Mohamed I now hope Eddie Izzard gets the nomination for Sheffield. You will see a White Privileged Male still has all the power despite putting on a dress and lipstick.
Does Eddie Izzard claim he's not safe in the men's toilets? He's built like a brick shithouse.
I, on the other hand, don't feel safe sharing the women's toilets with him.
Why does the male actor and comedian have more rights to the women's toilets than me?
