A Kidbrooke woman has been banned from keeping pets after she allowed a husky to die after "prolonged suffering".
Jane Francis, 52, of Wricklemarsh Road, was found guilty of causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal following a trial.
Between November 19 and December 19 last year it was said that she caused Siberian husky Simba to suffer by failing to provide adequate nutrition and failing to provide veterinary treatment for a deep wound on the dog’s hind leg.
Magistrates noted: “You caused prolonged suffering which should have been obvious to you and ultimately the dog died.”
Last Friday, September 12, Francis appeared at Bromley Magistrates’ Court for sentencing.
She was given a six-month prison sentence which was suspended for 18 months.
The sentence includes a mental health treatment requirement and rehabilitation activities.
Francis was also told to pay £2,000 towards the RSPCA’s prosecution costa and a £154 surcharge.
An order was made banning Francis from keeping any pets for a period of 10 years.
