UPDATE.. She was at court yesterday, she thought she would get off, she even left her car in the carpark. Lie after lie, after lie, she told. Very confident to the point of being cocky.
There will be a full press release soon, either today or tomorrow. I don’t know all the details but she got 36 weeks in prison and a ban from keeping animals.
There were just short of 40 greyhounds in the kennels, no food or water, all emaciated, some to the point of collapse, some dead and rotting. ” unable to walk” “dead in kennel decomposing” “couldn’t move lying it’s own faeces and urine”
One greyhound girl, they thought she was dead, she moved but died shortly afterwards.
Numerous had to be put to sleep.
All snippets from the court yesterday.
The ones with even the slightest chance were taken to York rspca. I believe most recovered and have been rehomed.
The governing regulator for the racing industry had been to her kennels the SCI. The stipendary steward visited too before the authorities got involved. I don’t know who went first or what the timescales were. I don’t care.
The truth of the matter is, she is only one of a number of vile greyhound trainers. Yes there are some good ones and even they will be sickened today. But to be fair the majority of them don’t care. With hundreds and hundreds, even thousands of greyhounds backing up in racing kennels there will and have been other cases like this, “the drunk who went on a bender” for example.
Make no mistake, whilst she was feeding her terriers in the house she left the greyhounds in the kennels to die and if someone hadn’t have spoken up, they all would have.
Make no mistake whilst this was happening she was still a licensed GBGB greyhound trainer. They are bleating on one of the forums…..do you what they are saying? Here you go.
WTF story breaking days leading up to the sports biggest night of the year Derby final,GBGB kept asking RPPCA to back up with data why they want the sport banned.
Now they have got some a licensed trainer jailed for animal neglect,with all the so-called regulations and checks put in place by the GBGB.
Now all the decent people in the sport are going to have to put up with all the looks and snide remarks,
While the anti-brigade rattle there cans.
A VERY SORRY OUTCOME FOR THE WHOLE OF GREYHOUND RACING
To recap….they don’t care….it’s the Derby in 3 days.
And this is exactly why this so called sport needs banning.
GBGB you are an absolute disgrace.
Cuddle your dogs tightly, they could have so very easily not been by your side.

I flagged this vile woman up over 20 years ago. This industry will never change. They have had decades to sort out the welfare of their dogs and they simply can’t do it. They have been trying really hard to keep this under wraps, we cannot and must not forget about all those poor dogs. Please don’t think this is an isolated case, it isn’t.
There are hundreds, probably thousands of greyhounds just sat waiting in trainers kennels for homes. I’ve no doubt they are blaming the cost of living crisis, they will never blame themselves.
