Llys Nini branch of the RSPCA - News - 02/08/07 - Case animals finally able to be rehomed

We have just heard that the court has confirmed the sentence on the family who kept 100 animals in their 3 bedroom council house in Gorseinon.

This means that the 14 dogs and 22 cats that have been at Llys Nini for the past 2 years are now free to be rehomed.

At the time of going to press no pictures were available but we are now able to release some of the shocking pictures of these poor animals when they were first found.

SPECIAL PEOPLE NEEDED

These animals will need special people to give them a home. The cats and dogs have become institutionalised and will need a lot of care and attention. If you are an experienced pet owner and feel that you can offer a forever home to these poor animals please call at the Animal Centre and talk to staff. The animals can also be viewed here.

The Joneses were found guilty of charges by the RSPCA of causing unnecessary suffering to 36 animals by not properly feeding them and keeping them in a poor environment.

There were about 100 animals found in "appalling conditions" in a three-bedroomed council house.

Some of the animals were in cages, covered by blankets, while others roamed free. Litter trays were overflowing with faeces and the smell was "sickening", council officials told the court.

The council had been alerted after receiving anonymous complaints about the state of the property and a warrant was executed on 27 October 2005. Council officers told the court the house had an "overpowering smell of ammonia" being used to disguise the smell of urine. The house had litter trays behind each chair which were "full to over-flowing".
