I can't make sense of the sentencing even using the court's own guidelines.

http://www.sentencing-guidelines...._sentencing_guidelines_update.pdf

When considering sentence for prolonged neglect (and this neglect predated the holiday) the starting point is 18 weeks.

Then additions should be made to reflect that the offences invloved several animals, resulted in death and that animals were kept for a livelihood.

Even allowing for expressed remorse and a guilty plea I still don't see why the sentence was no higher than the suggested starting point.

Then again it was similar sentences handed out to the Lincoln dog-fighters recently. Sad

Why banned for only 10 years. The amount of suffering deserves a life-long ban I think
