INSPECTORS from the RSPCA found the bodies of two dead donkeys and seven others. in an emaciated state when they were called to a Ribble Valley farm. - A court heard the living donkeys had “cork screw” hooves, which made them lame, and one, which had to be carried from the field on a make shift stretcher, later had to be put down.

time was already banned from keeping horses, cows or sheep because of an incident four years earlier involving a horse which also had to be de stroyed.. .••
Graham Gott (61), of Harrop Lodge Farm,
Smalden Lane, Slaidburn, pleaded guilty at Hyndburn Magistrates’ Court to breaching an animal welfare disqualification and three charges of failing to ensure the welfare of animals in his care. He was banned from keeping any animals for a further 10 years and ordered to pay £4,300 in costs. Mr Chris Wyatt (prosecuting) said that when
inspectors attended at the remote farm there was two feet of snow on the ground and temperatures were sub-zero. They found several dead chickens, ducks and geese before coming across the emaci ated carcass of a donkey outside a bam. Inside the building they found the body of a donkey foal. The inspectors began checking the fields
around the farm and a trail of blood splattered on the snow led them to a field where the seven living donkeys were kept. All the animals were in a poor condition and
one had on its leg a deep cut, which had probably been caused by barbed wire. They had no food and all had overgrown, corkscrew hooves which meant they had to walk on their heals. “One of the donkeys was too weak to walk to

they, had been neglected for a considerable period of time. He said the animals were owned by Gott’s father, 88-year-old Jack Gott, who expressed sur prise that the donkeys were in a poor condition. He said he had been ill and Graham had been looking after’all the stock on the farm. . “Jack Gott really played a large role in these offences, but the RSPCA made the decision not to prosecute him because it would not have been in the public interest,” said Mr Wyatt. Mr John Lee (defending) said his client had
put down about a week later,” said Mr Wyatt. He said vets who inspected the animals said
been “caught between a rock and a hard place” when his father was taken ill with pneumonia. The father was in hospital for two weeks and bed ridden for another three. “My client was asked to look after the stock and
he genuinely did not think that would put him in breach of the disqualification,” said Mr Lee. “He feels aggrieved by the prosecution. His fa
ther was the owner of the farm and all the animals on the farm and any suggestion he wasn’t aware his son was disqualified is nonsense.”- .
He said Jack Gott had been taken ill with pneu
monia
and.for five weeks was incapable of looking after his animals. “The RSPCA take the view he is too elderly to
prosecute, but I ask you to take into account that the animals and the farm were his,” said Mr Lee. “The charges relate only to the period of five
weeks when my client was looking after the ani mals and the vets says the donkeys had suffered
. for much longer than that.” . “My client now realises he made a wrong de
cision and when his father became ill he should have contacted the RSPCA and explained his di lemma,” added Mr Lee. 0 In a statement issued after the case, interna
tional animal welfare charity the Donkey Sanctu ary welcomed the successful prosecution of Gra ham Gott. The charity rescued the seven surviving don
keys from Gott’s property in co-operation with Trading Standards and the RSPCA last Decem ber.
Molly Lloyd, a regional welfare officer for the
charity for the past 18 years, said: “This was one of the worst cases of neglect I’ve seen. We were shocked to discover many animals at Mr Gott’s farm, including two dead donkeys and seven oth ers who were gravely ill. “We were lucky to get there when we did; one
of the donkeys was carried onto the lorry as she was so weak. I am really pleased to see justice done for the donkeys who suffered so terribly un der the care of Mr Gott.” Anna Harrison, the sanctuary’s veterinary sur
geon for welfare cases of this type, added: “On the rescue day it was obvious that these donkeys, including a young foal, were depressed and some were emaciated, their skin tightly bound over their bones. “Their hooves were cruelly twisted and over
grown.” ■ ■ “There had been heavy snowfall and there was no shelter, only frozen water and no food. “They were slowly starving to death in one of
the most severe winters we have experi enced in recent years.” The donkeys - subsequently named by
Sanctuary staff as Beauty, Chrissy, Eric,’ Florence,, Little Lad, Mary and Prince -were taken straight to the Donkey Sanc tuary’s headquarters in Sidmouth, Devon, where the charity provides expert care and permanent refuge to thousands of donkeys. Unfortunately, Mary and Chrissy never
recovered from their neglect and were put to sleep by the sanctuary’s veterinary team to end their suffering. Vet Anna Harrison added: “It is totally
unacceptable for any animal to be subjected to this extreme level of suffering.. . “Any reasonably competent owner would
have seen that the donkeys were in a suffer ing state and should have taken action.
