Oh good grief … another horror story!
I was trawling through news articles and came across this one about a guy in Ulster who has been arrested for abusing animals.
If you read it, you’ll see that this person was banned from keeping animals for 8 years in 2001, when inspectors found that he’d caused undue suffering to horses. And now this … made all the worse by the statement from the inspectors of … “harrowing evidence of cannibalism among a collection of more than 100 ferrets” because they were kept in tiny cages with no food or water.
I had a hunt around to see if there were any other stories about “Dirty Duffin”, just in case there was another side to the story which wasn’t reported, but nothing else turned up.
From what this article says, the guy is obviously a serial animal abuser and now he’s been banned from keeping animals for 15 years. It’ll be interesting to see how the USPCA manage to enforce that.

So true!!!
I was thinking the same thing myself when I wrote the article – Dirty Duffin should be put in a small cage for 48 hours with no food and no water and see how he enjoys himself.
Grrrrrr! Makes me so angry to read about things like this.
unfreakin believable!!!!
THE guy deserves life in prison
and should spend some time under the same conditions he put those animals in, totally unreal!!
