I really hate these animal abuse stories. I could tell it was going to be bad when they mentioned the use of illegal choke chains.

Top Auckland puppy breeders on trial for neglect of dogs living in dirty conditions Catrin Owen 17:22, Jan 18 2022

A top dog breeder on trial for neglect told an animal inspector the “puppy farm” was a hobby, not a business.

SPCA inspectors, tipped off by a member of the public in 2017, found dogs in cages with their own faeces and puppies living in dirty conditions.

Barbara Glover, 83, and her daughter Janine Wallace, 61, deny six counts of failing to alleviate the pain or distress of an animal, and 30 charges of failing to meet animals physical, health and behavioural needs.
