| Red Rose Database
West London Animal Abuser
Sylwia Pietras, a resident of Dawson Close in Hayes, West London, was recently convicted of a serious case of animal cruelty involving her pet cocker spaniel. The incident, which took place between March 24 and June 24, 2015, drew significant attention from animal welfare authorities due to the neglect and suffering inflicted upon the dog.
According to court records, Pietras pleaded guilty to a charge of causing unnecessary suffering to her tan-colored cocker spaniel, a three-year-old dog named Deizi. The case revealed that Pietras failed to seek proper veterinary care for Deizi’s severe skin condition, which affected her body, face, and paws. Instead of providing timely treatment, she delayed seeking professional help, allowing the condition to worsen considerably.
RSPCA inspector Becky Timberlake described the condition of Deizi when she was discovered. She stated that the dog was found in a “disgusting” state, with her skin infected and emitting a foul smell. The inspector detailed that the dog’s coat had shed extensively, leaving large patches of red, raw skin exposed. The infection was so severe that it caused significant pain and discomfort for Deizi, who had been suffering in silence for months.
Inspector Timberlake recounted that Pietras initially claimed to have taken Deizi to the vet and was prescribed antibiotics to treat the skin problem. However, she admitted that when the condition worsened again, she waited three weeks before seeking further veterinary assistance. Pietras expressed her concern that long-term antibiotic treatment might not be suitable for Deizi, which led her to neglect the issue further. The inspector expressed her concern about the prolonged suffering endured by the dog, emphasizing the pain and distress caused by Pietras’s neglect.
Fortunately, Deizi was rescued and has since made a full recovery. The RSPCA renamed her Daisy and found her a new, loving home. The organization highlighted that Daisy is a lovely dog with the potential to be a wonderful family pet, once her health was restored.
In court, Pietras received a sentence of 12 weeks in prison, suspended for one year. Additionally, she was ordered to complete 100 hours of unpaid work and pay costs amounting to £860. She was also disqualified from owning any animals for a period of two years, a restriction that expired in November 2017. The case underscores the importance of responsible pet ownership and the serious consequences of neglecting animal welfare in West London.
