RSPCA CASE FILES

CHYNA: AMERICAN BULLDOG CROSS

Chyna was dumped at the Wacol RSPCA shelter last November with a massive stomach tumour. The tumour was inoperable and the dog was euthanised. Her microchip said she was originally registered to a Mermaid Waters address. Her owner has not been found.

JETT: MALTESE X KING CHARLES CAVALIER

Jett and a cat called Beau Beau were left to fend for themselves for four days after Wendy Patricia Beddoes left her Robina property last year.

Jett was severely matted with overgrown nails and very thin. Beddoes was ordered to perform 40 hours of community service and pay $1100 in vet fees and $92 in court fees. She is not allowed to own a dog or cat for 12 months.

ZENA: STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIER

Zena was found by inspectors in an emaciated state in Coomera after a member of the public notified the RSPCA. In court, Amanda Jane Hicks and Bradley Douglas Nunn were fined $2878.41 each.

MOO: AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG

Moo was seized after the owner, Karl Peter Nichols, failed to treat a longstanding skin condition. In court, Nichols was prohibited from keeping animals for two years and ordered to pay $2080.82 in RSPCA vet and boarding costs, $1100 in legal costs and $92.90 for his summons. A conviction was recorded.
