Three men have been jailed after illegally cropping puppies' ears and leaving them to suffer.
Staffordshire Police found Alexander David Johnson, Ryan Woodward and Michael Nolan along with six puppies at a property in Hanley on November 10, 2020.
Three of the puppies had had their ears cropped and were still in a semi-comatose state as a result of anaesthesia given to them prior to the procedure being conducted.
