Please retweet, CONVICTED for vile cruelty
Dazie Howe, 25, from #Goldsborough, near #Harrogate, North #Yorkshire - starved an eight-month-old puppy (pictured) to death then dumped her in a faeces-riddled crate outside #UK AVOIDS JAIL‼️‼️
Severe suffering was inflicted on helpless Chihuahua/shih-tzu cross Joey as she was slowly starved to death over a period of at least one month by single mother Howe.
Sentencing | 18-month community order with up to 25 days’ rehabilitation activity; fined £120; ordered to pay £100 costs and a £114 surcharge. Banned from owning, keeping or controlling any animal indefinitely but can contest this after 10 years.
In February 2024 RSPCA Inspector Rowena Proctor visited Howe’s home to investigate a report of a deceased dog and found Joey's decomposing remains in a crate in the rear garden. The crate was covered in a Christmas blanket which was sodden with piles of faeces and urine.
In her written evidence to the court the inspector said: “Before I had even explained why I was there, Howe immediately started to say ‘that dog is not mine, I don’t even know if it is a dog or how it got there, but my dog died and that isn’t her.’
“By the gate was a medium sized dog crate with a green fleece Christmas blanket draped over the top. I lifted the blanket and inside was a thick yellow pet bed, a large grey plastic bowl with dirty water, numerous piles of faeces, what appeared to be urine puddles and a very small deceased black dog.
“The smell from inside of the cage was extremely unpleasant – a mixture of the dead dog and the faeces and urine inside the crate.
“As I took photos Ms Howe stood beside me telling me how her dog, Joey, had died at the vets and asked me if the ‘thing’ in the crate was a dog.
“I used a towel to pick the dog up and placed the body in my van. The dog appeared extremely thin with ribs, pelvis and spine protruding. Maggots were crawling around near to her tail.”
A scan for a microchip revealed that the puppy was called Joey and Howe was registered as the owner. The court was told she again reiterated that the dog didn’t belong to her, she didn’t want ‘it’ and the inspector could ‘keep it.’
A post mortem was carried out to establish the cause of death. It showed that Joey had a prominent skeleton and her shoulder, ribs, hind limb bones and pelvis were visible through the skin. Her stomach was empty of food contents and showed haemorrhages – bleeds within the surface of the stomach lining – which are a frequent finding in starved dogs.
Her small intestine had a scant amount of digesta which contradicted Howe’s report of having fed Joey on the morning of her death.
In written evidence to the court a vet gave the opinion that “Joey was caused to suffer through starvation. There was no intervention and irreversible, irretrievable damage occurred which led to her death.
“The distress at being unable to find food would have progressed to hunger pains, abdominal cramps, fat breakdown with toxin release, muscle metabolism with pain and then progressing to weakness, lethargy, collapse, coma and death.
“This extremely distressing case shows the pleasure of owning a new puppy quickly turning to neglectful cruelty inflicting severe suffering and ultimately loss of life.”
Photographs on Howe’s mobile phone from the breeder who sold Joey to her, showed a previously alert puppy with a shiny coat.
Howe was first interviewed by Inspector Proctor on the day Joey’s body was found. She said she didn’t know who had put the puppy in her garden and she was ‘baffled’ about the situation as her dog was ‘fat,’ ‘like a balloon,’ and this one was ‘skin and bones.’
Asked about the dirty crate, Howe said she had kept it in her kitchen to take out to the shed and had scooped up a bag of faeces with a shovel and put it inside, but the wind must have blown the bag away and scattered the waste.
She said there was no dog inside when she put the crate in her garden and that everything in it belonged to her, except Joey.
On March 1, she was interviewed again after contacting the RSPCA to say she wanted to change her record of events. This time she claimed Joey had died as a result of a seizure.
Speaking after the conclusion of the case Inspector Proctor said the investigation had been extremely upsetting. “Joey was a tiny dog who wasn’t even fully grown and she would have only required a small amount of nutrition to keep her alive,” she said. “But food wasn’t provided, and locked in a crate she had no opportunity to fend for herself either.
“Howe continuously changed her story throughout the investigation and never admitted to letting little Joey down until she was in court. The indefinite ban imposed by the magistrates sends out a clear message to people who inflict severe neglect and suffering on their pets.”
