I think that suggests that my comment that the law regards financial crime as more serious than animal cruelty was maybe correct. Pity there is no actual breakdown of which crimes attracted which sentences but I suspect it was the fraud that put him in jail....

Oaveed Rahman, of Hope Road, Crays Hills, admitted 11 counts of fraud by false representation and one count of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal, which relates to 22 animals in his care, when he appeared at Basildon Crown Court last month.

This was good to see - given a lifetime order banning him from owning any animals.

Perhaps she'd have to take the lead
She knelt down on the floor to plead
Please share a bed with me she said
Within 5 mins they were in his bed

Sometimes it does work, although this sentence isn't long enough, it's better than the 'community service' rubbish we read about.

The 'barbaric' owner of a filthy and stinking animal rescue centre where the carcasses of 41 dogs were found was jailed for five years today.

Oaveed Rahman, 27, took thousands of pounds from people who left him their pets when they were unable to continue looking after them.

Remains of dogs were found in bins, outbuildings and gardens at the property, that also served as Rahman's home.

Skye is beautiful..
Has she ever thought about facing the other way.. !!

If she did that she might miss something, this direction she can keep an eye on the fridge and the cupboard where the treats are. 

Beans, beans, they're good for your heart.
The more you eat, the more you
