EAST RETFORD COUPLE SUSANNAH SELF AND MAGNO SOUSA CONVICTED FOR CRUELTY TO KITTENS

Susannah 'Susie' Self, born on May 21, 1991, and her partner Magno Patrick Sousa, born on November 2, 1991, both residing on Grange Road in East Retford, Nottinghamshire, have been found guilty of causing unnecessary suffering to a litter of kittens.

The disturbing case involves the treatment of a group of vulnerable kittens by the couple, who used inappropriate and potentially harmful human medicines in an attempt to address their health issues. The incident has raised serious concerns about animal welfare and the dangers of misusing human medications on animals.

According to court records, Susie Self, a mother of six children, and her latest partner, Magno Sousa, a Brazilian national, administered human medicines to seven cats suffering from flu symptoms. In addition, they attempted to treat a kitten’s fractured leg with bathing salts, a remedy that is entirely unsuitable and dangerous for animals.

The court found both individuals guilty of the charges brought against them, highlighting the neglect and cruelty involved in their actions. The specific details regarding the ultimate fate of the kittens remain unknown, leaving many questions about their current condition and well-being.

As part of their sentencing, Susannah Self and Magno Sousa were disqualified from keeping animals for a period of five years. This ban expired in November 2022, but no further information about any additional penalties or ongoing investigations has been publicly disclosed.

Although the original news link concerning the sentencing has been removed, the details of their conviction are still accessible through official records, underscoring the seriousness of this case and the importance of animal protection laws.
