Neighbour cleared of dog killing

Tricia Wales and Neville Hill were neighbours until he moved away
A court has dismissed a case against a company director accused of killing his neighbour's dog by hitting it with a hoe after a long-running row.

Magistrates in West Sussex said Neville Hill, 48, was defending his property when he struck the five-year-old border terrier Wurzel with the garden tool.

The dog's owner Tricia Wales funded a private prosecution after the RSPCA said it would not pursue legal action.

Mr Hill said common sense had prevailed but Miss Wales was "disappointed
No pain

Chichester magistrates had been told that the blow fractured Wurzel's skull, causing it to haemorrhage, and the bitch had to be put down after the incident on 21 September last year.

Mr Hill admitted hitting the dog with a garden hoe but denied criminal damage.

He said he did not mean to harm the dog, but was only trying to stop her from attacking his own elderly dalmatian, Jasper.



Wurzel had to be put down after she was hit with the hoe
The RSPCA said it would not prosecute because Wurzel was rendered unconscious immediately and did not feel any pain.

During the one-and-a-half day trial, Chichester Magistrates' Court heard that Mr Hill and Miss Wales lived next door to one another in a row of terraced cottages in the village of Yapton, near Arundel.

They got on well when Mr Hill moved in about four years before the incident, but they fell out over his claims that her three terriers kept getting into his garden, fouling on his lawn and scaring his chickens.

The court heard it was the responsibility of Miss Wales to maintain the hedge that separated their gardens.

Mr Hill told magistrates the situation had become so bad that he had put his house on the market and moved to Copse Lane, Walberton.

Magistrates decided that, as there were no witnesses to the incident, they could not prove that Mr Hill meant to harm Wurzel or was acting recklessly.

They added it was his right to defend his own dog and chickens on his own land.

My observation was a general one since the original thread was 'How do you....''. I didn't even accuse JT of plagiarism...read my first post again. It starts 'Personnally I.....rather than plagiarise (yes one might suggest that JT's plagiarism is implicit in the statement).

If you want to be a pedant at least make sure you are correct in the first place. Enjoy pointing out my grandma, punkchewation; and spelling if it floats your boat. :)

yes :rolleyes:.......copyright control, not plagiarism

what?

and like i said, who gives a **** anyway?

...........this so reminds me of the old denis days

[jenstina]

Ooops, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to start an arguement :(

[krusewalker]

no probs my end jestina

just standing up for you

So you would be the denis personna then :eviltongue:...the bold typing the arrogance that assumes the other person can't stand up for themselves. If you don't give a hoot, why did you bother responding? Sorry to blow your pretext for a senseless dig at somebody. If you're missing Denis I could post about Denmark in WWII and you could educate us all again :biggrin:

And just in case it passed your attention JT raised the issue of the barbaric dog killing and the RSPCA police response on another thread, after this one.

JT, sorry about this. I didn't intend a dig at you just trying to help.
