The heartless owners of a puppy mill operation dumped dead dogs in a wheelbarrow after advertising their puppies as having been raised in a family home  on Tyersal Lane in Bradford, United Kingdom. According to The Sun, Bernadethette Nunney, 25, and John Wilcock, 36, left the dogs to starve and never treated them for illnesses.bradford-puppy-mill

On Friday, Nunney and Wilcock appeared at Leeds Magistrates’ Court and were given a 20-week suspended prison sentence for 18 months and banned from keeping dogs for the rest of their lives. Nunney was also handed a 12-week curfew order, a 15-day rehabilitation activity and £500 in costs. Wilcock was ordered to complete 200 hours of unpaid work and a 20-day rehabilitation activity. He was also ordered to pay £100 in costs. Both were found guilty of multiple animal cruelty charges in a court trial that lasted four days.

RSPCA Inspector Emma Ellis said she would never be able to forget the horrible sight.

 “The sight of the live puppy buried within the pile of dead puppies was heartbreaking. There was nothing we could do to save her. The way those puppies were left to die highlights how these people simply see them as commodities which I find totally unacceptable.”

Dogs from the puppy mill were found living in concrete block kennels and stables; many with no food, water or bedding. All had to lie in their own feces and urine. All together, inspectors found 43 dogs – including collies, spaniels, Bichon Frises, Labradors, Beagles, Chihuahuas, and some terrier-cross types – in the raid. All are being cared for the RSPCA – some have already found loving homes.

  1. Euthanize them both! STOP ALL BREEDING OR GOVERNMENT REGULATE 100% AND TAX ALL BREEDERS. AND REQUIRE A LICENSE TO RUN THE BREEDING FACILITY… REGULATE OR THIS WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP HAPPENING ALL AROUND THE WORLD!

  2. Sickening, disgusting pair. I love the lifetime ban (who will check on them?) but would have loved a life sentence X 6! RIP sad puppies.

  3. DESPICABLE! THEY SHOULD SUFFER A SIMILAR FATE FOR CRUELLY MURDERING SO MANY PRECIOUS LITTLE LIVES. HORRIBLE PEOPLE. KARMA …
