Two men who sickeningly abused their dogs by a 'painful' ear-cropping procedure exchanged messages about their plans. Joshua Ryan Kwiathawski, 25, and Jamie Evans, 30, were found guilty of allowing the illegal practice to be done.
Their bull-type dogs Riga and Ace were subjected to 'horrific' pain before police discovered texts between the two men who planned to cover up what had been done to the pets. They also did not care for the animals after the procedure, reports the Manchester Evening News.
In a series of messages exchanged on Whatsapp, Evans asked when he could 'post a pic' of his dog with Kwiathawski replying: “Not for 4-6 weeks bro, no one in your gaff you don’t know," Wigan Magistrates Court heard as the men were sentenced on Tuesday.
