A donkey owner has been banned from keeping equines after her animals were found underweight and living in poor conditions.
Margarite Geraldine Gibson, 76, from Yorkshire, who ran Whitby Donkeys on the local beach, pleaded guilty to four animal welfare offences when appearing before Scarborough Magistrates’ Court last week, reports Teesside Live.
The RSPCA and staff from the Donkey Sanctuary were sent to the address on February 24 last year after concerns were raised about a number of equines in her care.
