Pet-ban man back in court
Date published: 01 December 2009
AN animal welfare case against a Glodwick man banned from keeping pets has been adjourned.
Raja Hussain (28), of Mansfield Road, admitted eight charges relating to animal welfare and keeping dangerous dogs in June. He was banned from keeping pets for five years after he signed over the ownership of three pit bull-type dogs to the RSPCA.
He appeared before Oldham Magistrates’ Court yesterday charged with breaching the disqualification after a dog, cat and fish were found by RSPCA inspectors at his home.
The case was adjourned until December 14 and he was granted bail.
In June, Mr Hussain had admitted causing unnecessary suffering to three dogs by failing to provide them with veterinary care, failing to protect two dogs from pain, suffering, injury and disease, and keeping dangerous dogs without the correct paperwork.
