Professional couple cops heavy fine over starving dog

Premium Content Subscriber only A BUSY professional couple was this week found to have left their pet staghound cross so underfed that its ribs and pelvic bones were sticking out of its lethargic and emaciated body. A court heard RSPCA inspectors went to the couple s home and rescued their dog Bella, and Damien and his wife Ashtika O Connor were charged with offences under the Animal Care and Protection Act. On Friday they went before Ipswich Magistrates Court for sentence, where it was heard they had owned Bella for six years. Damien O Connor, 37, from Collingwood Park and Ashtika O Connor, 25, both pleaded guilty to failing to feed Bella, a female Staghound cross type dog in June 2020; and breaching their duty of care by failing to provide appropriate living conditions between June 7 and June 23 last year.
