An RSPCA South Australia inspector first attended the defendant’s property on 30 April 2024 responding to a cruelty report about a small white terrier with lesions that appeared infected and smelt terrible. The inspector was informed by the defendant that the male dog, named Lin Tan, had died a month earlier as the result of a stroke. On 13 May 2024, RSPCA SA received a cruelty report regarding concern for a severely matted dog. On 4 June 2024, an RSPCA SA inspector attended the defendant’s new address, and his 77-year-old mother answered the door with a small white dog that she referred to as Lin Tan. As well as being severely matted, the dog had a black substance around his eyes and overgrown nails on his hind feet. The defendant was issued a formal warning to seek veterinary treatment for the dog by 11 June 2024. On the 11 June 2024, the inspector followed up with the local vet and was advised that although an appointment had been booked, the defendant never attended. RSPCA SA Chief Inspector Andrew Baker said the defendant had chosen to ignore his dog’s clear need for veterinary treatment. “We remind pet owners to take immediate action when their animals are in need,” he said. “If you are a pet owner, it is your responsibility to take care of your animal and seek vet treatment if needed – failure to do so is unacceptable and cruel.” Lin Tan was forfeited to RSPCA SA and has now been adopted by his foster carer. Under SA’s Animal Welfare Act, the maximum penalty for animal cruelty is $20,000 or two years’ imprisonment. For an aggravated cruelty offence, the maximum penalty is $50,000 or four years’ imprisonment. RSPCA South Australia is the state’s only animal welfare charity with inspectors empowered to prosecute animal cruelty under SA’s Animal Welfare Act. Members of the public who witness animal cruelty or neglect are urged to immediately call RSPCA’s 24-hour cruelty report hotline on 1300 477 722. RSPCA SA calling for information to assist investigation RSPCA South Australia is appealing for public information after seven newborn puppies were found abandoned in a washing basket near the corner of Geddes Road and Warnertown Road the puppies appear to be Kelpie or Staffordshire Bull Terrier crosses though due to their young age and lack of background information A concerned member of the public discovered the puppies in Port Pirie and took them to the local council. Thanks to the swift response of South Australia Cat Rescue, the puppies were safely transferred into the care of RSPCA South Australia foster carers, where they are now receiving essential round-the-clock care. RSPCA SA Head of Animal Welfare, Andrea Lewis described the incident as a deliberate act of cruelty and urged the public to come forward with any information that could help identify those responsible. “These puppies were left completely vulnerable, with no food, warmth, or care. Abandoning animals like this is not only cruel but also illegal. We need the community’s help to ensure those responsible are held accountable,” she said. RSPCA South Australia is urging anyone with information to contact the 24-hour cruelty hotline on 1300 4 777 22. Once the puppies are old enough, they will be placed up for adoption. Those interested in giving these puppies a loving home are encouraged to monitor RSPCA South Australia’s website and social media channels for updates.
