A man has admitted feeding poisoned tuna to his neighbours' cats which both had to be put to sleep - in the first case of its kind referred to a crown court.
Tristian Paul Pearson, 44, left out tubs which contained fish tuna and a high concentration of ethylene glycol. The substance is highly poisonous to felines and is contrary to the Animal Welfare Act 2006.
Two cats living nearby - Luna and Bailey - later had to be put down after becoming sick. Pearson, of Bargoed, Wales, pleaded guilty to an Animal Welfare Act offence and was handed an eight month suspended prison sentence.
