Corpse of a dog on a bed, droppings everywhere as well as nearly 80 animals, including 48 dogs and 25 puppies, confined in 60 m².

On March 28, the gendarmes carried out a special search of the home of a couple in Demange-aux-Eaux, in the Meuse.

The two fifty-year-olds were notably prosecuted for “serious abuse or acts of cruelty to an animal” before the Bar-le-Duc criminal court.

They were sentenced to six months suspended prison sentence and a permanent ban on keeping animals, as well as a fine, reports L'Est Républicain.

They will also have to reimburse the Refuge de Cathy, the structure that took care of the many recovered dogs.

At the hearing, the accused tried to justify this overcrowding of his home: “I did not place any announcements to give them away (the animals), that's why there were so many.
