Bulldog 'left in pain for days' after owner illegally cropped ears 'to make him look tough'
A young dog who had his ears mutilated has made a full recovery after 15 months of care from the RSPCA.
Riga is now ready to start searching for a new home. Staff at the Felledge Animal Centre in County Durham say he is a happy and loving dog despite his ordeal. Luka Atkinson, deputy centre manager, said: “He’s a really friendly boy and seems to be completely unaffected by the trauma and suffering he endured at such an early age.“Even though he’s missing large parts of both ears, it doesn’t impede him and he’s got quite an infectious zest for life.
Though ear cropping is illegal in the UK, the RSPCA received 391 reports last year. Riga’s owner was jailed for 23 weeks and given a 15-year ban on keeping animals after admitting allowing Riga’s ears to be illegally cropped.
