Woman Leaves Her Dogs To Starve To Death In Empty House And Then Throws Their Corpses Out With The Trash

A woman who let her two dogs starve to death in an empty house before throwing their corpses out with the garbage has been found guilty of causing unnecessary suffering and given an 18-week suspended sentence.

The Daily Mail reports that, following a split with her boyfriend, British woman, Sheridan Greer, 23, moved out of her terrace house in Burnley, Lancashire, after locking her two young Staffordshire bull terriers in a kitchen without food or water.

Over a period of four weeks, 12-month-old Patch and 18-month-old Duke were forced to fend for themselves, and died a slow and agonizing death as they were forced to scavenge from bin bags and bare cupboards in a frantic bid to stay alive.
In their desperation to survive, Patch and Duke attempted to eat discarded bottles of cola, old dish cloths, sweet wrappers, and even empty tin cans.

When Police and RSPCA inspectors raided the home, they found the bodies of Patch and Duke had been callously tossed out with the trash.

Greer admitted to dragging the bodies of the dogs into the back yard when she discovered they were dead.

The Mirror reports that a post-mortem showed that both dogs weighed 11 kilos when they died, 20 per cent less than 14 kilos they should have weighed.

Inspector Lyndsey Taylor of the RSPCA explained Patch and Duke would have died a slow and painful death.
