Police officers kicked pet dogs

Police officers kicked pet dogs

Two police officers have been told they face possible jail sentences for causing suffering and "mental terror" to their two pet dogs.

Magistrates in Denbigh heard how Anja Mason, 29 and Craig Macleod, 34, who lived together in Prestatyn, now also face losing their jobs.

A neighbour filmed them hitting and kicking the pets and called the RSPCA.

Both admitted causing unnecessary suffering to a collie pup called Tess and Macleod to a rottweiler, Snoopy.

Both officers, who will be sentenced on 25 November, have been removed from frontline duties until the end of the case, said North Wales Police
.

I am surprised that these two are still working as police officers even if they are only doing administrative work. They have pleaded guilty, that should be the end of it and face instant dismissal. Or, at the very least, be suspended without pay until the disciplinary hearing. If they are like this to their pet dogs, what chance have the public got?

The photo doesn't uphold the allegation - just shows two anonymous animals.

RSPCA will undoubtedly act according to any filmed proven acts of cruelty.
