A man from North Ayrshire has been convicted of causing his dogs unnecessary suffering and possessing a banned pesticide (Cymag) following an SSPCA investigation back in March 2010.
William Ralph Trivett, 40, pled guilty to five charges at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court last Friday (10 August). He was fined £600 and received a three-year ban on keeping any more than twelve dogs.
The SSPCA had removed seven dogs from make-shift kennels at Mid-House Farm, Kilbarchan, Johnstone. The jar of Cymag was found during a further search of Trivett’s home at nearby Milton Quadrant.
Well done to the SSPCA for another successful prosecution. Full story on their website here.

Its about time they also targeted those who are supplying these illegal poisons.
It’s strange don’t you think, that the SSPCA / RSPCA can obtain convictions for wildlife and domestic animal crimes when the rest of the “protection agencies” seem to fail every time, it’s strange don’t you think ???
