LONGSIGHT ANIMAL ABUSER DANYAAL CHOWDHURY'S HORRIFIC CRUELTY IN PERTHSHIRE AND EAST LONDON
| Red Rose Database
Longsight Animal Abuser
Daanyaal Chowdhury, born on April 29, 1993, and residing at 24 Meldon Road, Longsight, Manchester M13 0TT, has been at the center of a disturbing series of animal cruelty cases that span across different regions, including his known links to East London and Chadwell St Mary, Grays, Essex. His involvement in the inhumane treatment of dozens of animals has shocked the public and prompted serious legal action.
Chowdhury, who is also associated with the company K9 Cube Limited, was convicted in 2023 of multiple animal cruelty offenses related to his operations at a large-scale breeding farm in rural Perthshire, Scotland. The farm, located at South Cairnies Farm Cottage, Glenalmond, Perth PH1 3RY, was found to be a chaotic and hazardous environment where dozens of cats and dogs were kept in deplorable conditions, suffering from neglect and disease. Despite the severity of the neglect, Chowdhury received only a community sentence, a decision that has sparked outrage among animal welfare advocates.
The Scottish SPCA, Police Scotland, and Perth and Kinross Council conducted a joint raid in October 2020, uncovering over 60 animals in dire health. Among the animals rescued was Sophie, a German Shepherd, also known as Stacy, who was suffering from chronic skin disease, wounds between her toes, hair loss, and overgrown nails. The scene was described as 'chaotic and hazardous,' with animals living in their own waste, in homemade kennels that lacked proper shelter, water, or bedding. Many dogs were found in outdoor kennels exposed to the elements, with some living in conditions so poor that they had no natural light or proper flooring.
The inspection revealed that 32 dogs, including multiple German Shepherds, 17 kittens, and 16 cats, were living in filthy environments, with no access to water and in a state of starvation. The cats were housed separately in a building that was equally unfit for habitation, with wet, moldy walls and no water supply. Veterinary examinations confirmed that many animals suffered from dermatological, respiratory, ophthalmic, and ear-related diseases. Tragically, a Bengal cat named Bella, who had severe eye and neurological conditions, had to be euthanized on welfare grounds.
Further court proceedings in October 2021 detailed the extent of the neglect, with reports indicating that some puppies born from seized animals died shortly after birth, while others were euthanized due to congenital deformities or neurological issues. During the 2023 court hearing, Chowdhury admitted to causing unnecessary suffering to animals by failing to provide adequate care, treatment, or veterinary intervention between April and October 2020. He pleaded guilty to three animal welfare offenses, including neglecting dogs such as Sophie, Dolly, Sky, Lexi, and Kilo, all suffering from various health issues like dermatitis, dysplasia, and dental diseases. He also admitted to neglecting 15 cats, many of whom had ear mite infestations and conjunctivitis.
Chowdhury's failure extended to providing suitable accommodation, as the homemade kennels lacked proper ventilation, shelter, or bedding, and animals were exposed to waste, electrical hazards, and the elements. The majority of the animals seized were female, many pregnant at the time. Despite initial denials, Chowdhury later accepted responsibility, blaming a manager for the conditions. The court sentenced him to 90 hours of unpaid work, a one-year supervision order, and a ban on keeping animals for five years, a period that will expire in May 2028. The sheriff, Garry Sutherland, decided against a custodial sentence, citing Chowdhury's financial losses and the bankruptcy of K9 Cube Limited, which owed creditors approximately £360,000.
Following the case, Chowdhury expressed his frustration, claiming he was unfairly targeted and that the authorities treated him 'like a drug dealer.' He stated that his business had operated for three years without issues before the lockdown, and he lamented the fact that only he was prosecuted, despite others being involved.
The Scottish SPCA, however, criticized the leniency of the sentence. Inspector Katherine Aitchison expressed disappointment, emphasizing the appalling conditions animals endured and calling for harsher penalties, including a ban on owning or keeping animals. The Scottish SPCA also launched an urgent appeal for donations to support the care and rehabilitation of the rescued animals, most of whom were rehomed following a civil case in October 2021. The charity had faced mounting costs, with expenses approaching £100,000 for the seizure and temporary care of the animals.
Historical allegations against Chowdhury reveal a pattern of neglect and cruelty. Prior to his residence in Longsight, he lived at 49 Lea Road, Chadwell St Mary, Grays RM16 4DD, where concerns about starved and beaten German Shepherd-type dogs surfaced in April 2019. Social media posts and videos depicted him laughing while pouring champagne over puppies in a bathtub, and sharing images of dogs living in poor conditions. These revelations prompted some individuals to visit his premises, only to be horrified by the conditions they encountered, including puppies living in bathrooms and dogs kept in makeshift kennels without proper care.
Local residents have long voiced their frustrations, reporting the property to authorities multiple times over the past 18 months. Despite these complaints, enforcement actions were delayed, leading to accusations of inaction and a perceived failure by authorities to protect the animals. Some residents expressed outrage that Chowdhury's operations continued for so long, with many believing that more decisive action should have been taken earlier.
In addition to the Perthshire case, Chowdhury's past associations include a property at 49 Lea Road, where in July 2019, Abdullah Al-Hassan Chowdhury was fined approximately £12,000 for keeping up to 20 dogs, including Dobermans, Alsatians, and Rottweilers, in poor conditions. Neighbors described the environment as 'purgatory,' with dogs kept in inadequate kennels, often in bad weather, and subjected to abuse. Further reports indicated that Chowdhury's relatives had moved animals elsewhere, and that authorities had issued a 10-year criminal behavior order to prevent further animal keeping.
In a related case from October 2019, eight starving dogs were found in Dagenham, East London, kept in a garden without food, water, or shelter. Volunteers from Scruffy’s Angels documented the neglect, which involved dogs living in cages, in the back of vans, and chained in poor conditions. The occupant, Abdullah Aslam Baker, born November 1994, was later identified as the owner of Baker Guarding Limited, a security company. Although Baker resigned as director, the company remains active, and it is unclear if there is any direct link to Chowdhury. Nonetheless, these cases collectively highlight a troubling pattern of animal cruelty linked to Chowdhury and his associates, raising ongoing concerns about enforcement and animal welfare in the region.
