Police officer sold sick and dying kittens to children

But when customers received their new pets many found they were malnourished, ill and covered in their own urine or faeces.These aliases included the genuine charity Cat Cuddles Rehoming and the ID of someone who had bought a cat off them.

Angell was jailed for three years and four months, while Byrne was jailed for three years and eight months.RSPCA prosecutor Hazel Stevens gave six examples where kittens died soon after being purchased. “She spent her last two days in the animal hospital with them trying everything to make her better but she gave up the fight and we began our grieving for little Elsa.”On one occasion a distraught buyer and her boyfriend turned up at their house to ask for their money back.When he got there Angell shouted: “You bought the kitten from me not Amy, but I am not giving you a f**ing penny.”

Angell’s phone was recovered and revealed hundreds of images of kittens, enquiries about adverts and complaints from people reporting that their kittens were sick. During an interview Angell confirmed that the kittens seized had not seen a vet as he does not agree with veterinary practices.Byrne was a British Transport Police officer when these crimes were carried out but after a misconduct investigation she was fired in January 2023.

Kitten breeding specifically isn’t formally regulated. In the UK you do not need a licence to sell a small number of offspring of pets you have bred.
