£1,850 fine for man whose dog attacked pet donkey
A BALLYCLARE man has been fined £1,850 and banned from keeping dogs for five years.
Kenneth Morrow, of Rashee Road, appeared at Belfast Magistrates’ Court last week on a charge of allowing his dog to worry livestock.
The charge related to an incident near the defendant’s home on May 1, 2008, in which a donkey was attacked by a dog.
The pet donkey, Isabella, had been a familiar sight to local people who passed her field at Rashee Road for over 30 years.
In May, her owners were left heart-broken when the little donkey was mauled by a dog as she grazed in a field beside their house. Despite a vet being on the scene quickly, the animal died of her horrific injuries.
