A man who let a bulldog starve to death admitted he knew she was 'barely alive' but still 'forgot' to feed her 'quite often', a court has heard.
Kyle Stephen Moore, of Oldfield Road, Ellesmere Port, believed it was not his responsibility to keep the canine alive, a court has heard. Appearing at Wirral Magistrates Court on Thursday (March 2), he pleaded guilty to one count of causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal and one count of being a person responsible for ensuring the welfare of an animal and failing to ensure that needs were met.
Coco, the bulldog, was found dead by RSPCA officers in May last year in an empty flat belonging to Moore’s sister Leanne Brookshaw and her husband Jonathan Brookshaw. The dog's body was discovered surrounded by faeces, urine, and mess, reports the Liverpool Echo.
