Cases
latest first- 74-year-old woman sentenced over animal welfare offences in Dublin Animal welfare (breach of Animal Health and Welfare Act) · Co. Dublin
Janet Ball, a 74-year-old woman, pleaded guilty to 10 charges under the Animal Health and Welfare Act following a two-day DSPCA inspection of her farm in Dublin in April 2021. Inspectors found approximately 140 animals in poor conditions, including 33 dogs in cages without fresh water, 53 rabbits in filth-ridden hutches, and a dead dog decomposing on the kitchen floor. In February 2023, Judge Anthony Halpin described it as a very distressing case of animal cruelty and gave her a six-month suspended sentence on the condition she did not reoffend for two years. She was also disqualified from working with animals for five years. The DSPCA rescued and re-homed most of the animals from the property.
