Bromley man banned from dog ownership after neglect case

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 17 Oct, 17:02 · Archive

A Bromley man has been banned from owning dogs for three years after two pets were found severely malnourished.

Kemar Prince, 47, of Sissinghurst Close in Bromley, admitted failing to care for his two dogs after officers found them in extremely poor condition. Animal Rescue Officer Chloe Wilson visited the property on 24 February following photographs showing one dog's ribs, spine and hips clearly visible. When no response came to an advice notice, officers returned the next day with police and found both animals severely malnourished.

Princess, a large brown bull-type breed, was described as looking skeletal with prominent ribs, hips and spine. Prince, a white and brown French bulldog cross, was also in very poor condition with visible ribs, hips and spine, along with flea dirt and faeces on his rear. Both dogs were seized by police and placed in RSPCA care. A veterinary assessment revealed both animals had a body condition score of just one out of nine, indicating extreme emaciation.

Prince was sentenced at Bromley Magistrates' Court on 6 October. He was banned from owning dogs for three years and ordered to pay a £200 fine and £300 in costs. Both dogs have since made a strong recovery following their rescue.
