THORNHILL DOG ABUSER DONNA PRINCE AND KELVIN ANDREWS LEAVE STAFFY TYSON SUFFERING
Donna Prince, born around 1997, and her partner Kelvin 'Kenzie' Andrews, born in 1994, both residents of Warburton Road in Thornhill, Southampton SO19, faced serious allegations and subsequent conviction for their neglect of a beloved family pet. The dog, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Tyson, was subjected to severe neglect that resulted in him losing most of his hair and becoming covered in painful scabs due to untreated skin conditions.Between June 13 and June 15, 2016, Prince and Andrews pleaded guilty to a charge of causing unnecessary suffering to Tyson. The court was informed that the couple failed to seek or provide the necessary veterinary treatment for Tyson’s skin disease, which caused him intense itching and discomfort. As a result of their neglect, Tyson’s condition worsened, leading to significant hair loss and the development of scabs across his body.
RSPCA Inspector Tina Ward recounted that her organization first became involved with Tyson’s case in January 2016. At that time, the RSPCA provided advice to the owners, urging them to seek veterinary care for Tyson’s skin issues. Although they initially followed this advice, they did not continue with the treatment, allowing the condition to deteriorate further. Inspector Ward emphasized the importance of responsible pet ownership, stating, “Pet owners need to realize that they have a responsibility to care for their animals. That includes ensuring any health issues are dealt with promptly to avoid distress to animals in their care.”
In sentencing, the court ordered Prince and Andrews to pay £50 in court costs and a £30 victim surcharge. Additionally, Tyson was ordered to be deprived of his ownership, meaning he would be rehomed or cared for by another responsible party. Notably, there was no ban imposed on the offenders from owning animals in the future. The case highlights ongoing concerns about animal welfare and the importance of timely veterinary intervention to prevent suffering.
