Convicted of animal cruelty

A county Limerick farmer has been banned from owning animals for life after he was convicted of 24 charges including animal cruelty at Bruff District Court.

From U.TV online:

The charges concerned some 1200 sheep and two hundred cattle and included allegations of allowing carcasses to go unburied, cruelty to animals including starvation and failing to inspect other animals in his stock.

The defendant, James Bourke, Drumcummin House, Emly will be sentenced in September to allow time for the preparation of a psychiatric report with the probation services.

    He should also have been fined heavily with all the money going to Animal Welfare. What does a fucker like that think of not being allowed to keep animals as a punishment, it's nothing to him. He obviously hated them in the first place. Prick.
