My dog turned 21 today. She’s lost her hearing and her eyesight and can’t control her bowel movements.
But she was always there for us during good times and bad times.
How can I put her down when she’s lifted us up for over 20 years?

@AdoptionsUk Shouldn’t her sentence be the same as the crime she committed? An eye for an eye.

Please sign and retweet this petition asking to impose a lifetime ban on animal ownership for anyone convicted of animal cruelty #UK
PLEASE SIGN HERE👇👇👇

'We believe a lifetime ban could ensure that once an individual is convicted of animal abuse, they will never again have the power to inflict harm on another animal under their ownership. Animal ownership is a privilege, not a right, and cruelty shouldn't be tolerated.'

CONVICTED | Paige Laverty, 19, from #Illingworth, #Halifax HX2 – for cruelty to a young dog found in a collapsed state with visible bones and skin covered in sores.
Laverty turned a blind eye to the appalling suffering of her one-year-old Staffy cross, named Rocco. The puppy was found with multiple open wounds and urine burns where he had been “left to lie in his own mess for days” and had been starved to emaciation. Sadly, he was too unwell to be saved and was put to sleep by vets.
The court heard that RSPCA Animal Rescue Officers Emmeline Myall and Jade Barber went to Laverty’s address in August 2024 after a report of concern was made by a member of the public.
ARO Barber said: “His ribs, spine and hip bones were clearly prominent. His skull was clearly visible which showed significant muscle wastage.”
She said Rocco had discharge coming from his eyes and did not have the strength to lift his head. His fur was wet and there was a strong smell of ammonia.
They took him to a vet but in the consultation room, he “just groaned” as they tried to assess his condition.
ARO Barber said they also offered him a dog treat but said: “He didn’t even have the energy to open his mouth fully to take the treat so he quickly gave up trying.”
The vet’s statement said Rocco was suffering from muscle loss, urine scalding, dehydration, low temperature and an inability to move.
“The animal was visibly suffering so the decision was made to euthanise the animal,” said the vet.
In court, Laverty admitted causing Rocco unnecessary suffering by failing to provide nutrition and investigate his weight loss.
Her lawyer excused his client’s cruelty on the grounds that she was “young” and said the neglect was “not intentional”.
Sentencing | 20-week jail term , suspended for 18 months; 250 hours of unpaid work; £400 costs and £187 victim surcharge. Banned from keeping all animals for 10 years ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
