Alfie Doyle was prosecuted for multiple animal welfare offenses after two cobs were found in dire conditions, one suffering from a severe eye infection. The RSPCA took action, leading to the removal of the horses from inadequate conditions. The court imposed a suspended sentence, rehabilitation, and community service upon Doyle, while the animals received care, demonstrating a positive recovery. This case emphasizes the consequences of neglect towards equines and the responsibilities of ownership under the Animal Welfare Act.
The court heard that the body of a piebald foal in very poor condition was found in the same field on March 1 last year.
Mr. Doyle was handed a 12-week prison sentence, which the magistrates suspended for 12 months. He was told to attend 10 rehabilitation activity days.
