A couple from Glasgow have been banned from keeping animals for six years after investigators discovered their pets were severely malnourished and underdeveloped. Chantelle Crossan, 24, and Liam McLachlan, 23, of Mount Vernon, admitted failing to look after the two dogs last month at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
Last week, Crossan and McLachlan were respectively handed 80 and 120 hours of community service while the pair were each handed a six-year pet ban.
The charges related to a three-year-old Staffordshire bull terrier named Kenzo and a cane corso cross called Tyson, who was just five months old at the time. Inspectors from the Scottish SPCA have welcomed the conviction, which came 16 months after the charity was first notified of concerns via its animal helpline.
