🚨 HORRIFIC, PLEASE SHARE HER FACE - STARVED DOG TO A HORRIFIC & PAINFUL DEATH OVER MONTHS
⚠️ LUCY CRADDOCK, 27
🌍 LEOMINSTER HEREFORD
CONVICTED | Lucy Marie Craddock, 27, from #leominster, Herefordshire HR6 – for “extreme levels of neglect and cruelty” towards a dog presented dead on arrival at the vet..
Craddock guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to an American bulldog called Ocean.
The RSPCA investigated Craddock after she took Ocean’s skeletal remains to a local vet practice on June 13, 2025. The deceased pet, who was wrapped in a duvet, was covered in faeces and urine.
Examination found that she was extremely emaciated with sunken eyes. She weighed just 7kg against an ideal weight for her breed of around 30kg.
Craddock reportedly told the vet that Ocean had been “off her food for several days and she was hand-feeding her”.
However, a post-mortem concluded that the dog had died from prolonged starvation. She had little muscle fat and was also suffering from pressure sores.
There was evidence that she had eaten her own faeces in her desperation for food.
Handing out a rare immediate prison sentence, magistrates told Craddock that having viewed the “distressing” photos of Ocean’s body, they could not accept that she was unaware that the dog was suffering.
They added: “Given the extreme level of neglect and cruelty, only an immediate custodial sentence could be justified.”
Sentencing | 16-week custodial; £154 victim surcharge. Disqualified for life from having anything to do with animals.
