NAME: David Lowe, 33 WHERE: Farnworth, UK CRIME: Man walks free after worst ever case of animal cruelty. FLY was forced to be put down.... Fly was less than half her ideal weight and riddled with disease (Picture: John Jeffey/Cascade News). A dog owner who showed remorse was allowed to walk free, despite starving his pet so badly that she was described as a walking skeleton. David Lowe neglected his dog Fly to the extent that she was less than half her body weight and barely breathing. Cruel David Lowe starved 15-year-old Fly so badly that vets were forced to put her down because of how appalling her condition had become. One vet said that Fly was the most severely emaciated dog they had ever seen in 30 years of practice. Bolton Magistrates Court heard how the pitiful creature was ranked at zero on a scale of one to five – with one being emaciated. Tony Stock, prosecuting, told the court how the RSPCA first found Fly last October and officers were immediately shocked at her terrible condition. Vet Angus McKenzie said Fly was 12 to 15 per cent dehydrated, a level which, if exceeded, a dog is unlikely to survive. She had severe dental disease, overgrown nails and a urine sample suggested she was diabetic and her condition had deteriorated to what Dr MacKenzie described as a skeleton. Although Fly was immediately taken away from Lowe, she was so sick that vets had no option but to put her down. Mr Stock said: These conditions were all treatable and manageable. The dog could have lived a longer and healthier life if advice had been sought earlier. Because it did not happen it reached a stage where euthanasia was the only option. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO........... BECAUSE HE SHOWED REMORSE???? MOST LIKELY JUST A SHOW FOR THE COURTS..... HE WALKS FREE??? THIS DOG IS A SKELETON.....STARVATION IS EXTREMELY PAINFUL... THIS IS A HUGE FAIL FOR THIS POOR BABY..JUSTICE DEFINITELY NOT SERVED.....HE MUST BE A FAMILY MEMBER OF A COP, OR THE JUDGE.... THIS IS SOOOOO UNACCEPTABLE.... SO SORRY FLY...........NO ANIMAL SHOULD EVER ENDURE SUCH HORRIFIC PAIN......MAY YOU REST IN PEACE..... NEVER FORGOTTEN....AND NEITHER WILL THIS MONSTERS FACE!
