Jack's story

German shepherd Jack was discovered in the bedroom of a house in south east London.

At just one-year-old this innocent puppy had been sentenced to a slow and painful death by his owners.

Jack lived and died locked in a crate with no food or water. He starved to death in his own excrement.

 

Inspector Alison Fletcher said:

It is heartbreaking that this poor dog lived and then died in the squalor of this cage, hungry, thirsty and alone.

This kind of cruelty is simply horrendous and anyone looking at the photo of this dog can see the suffering.

Justice for Jack

Thanks to our generous supporters we were able to prosecute Jack’s owners who received a life time ban from keeping any animal.

A 20 week prison sentence was also given in recognition of the terrible suffering Jack had endured during his short life.
