A man has been banned from owning animals after six puppies were found in his vehicle at a Scottish ferry port covered in urine and faeces.
Stephen McRea, 29, from Belfast, was found trying to transport the six collie puppies from Northern Ireland to Stranraer on December 3, 2020, a court has heard.
The poorly pups were all found to be underweight and tested positive for the Parvo virus antigen - and three of them later died. He has since been given a 15-year ban from owning animals.
