Probe after neglected dogs discovered amidst rubbish in derelict shed

The hunting hounds — an emaciated and mange-ridden saluki and a lurcher in a similar condition — were found tied up amidst rubbish in a derelict shed off the Model Farm Rd near Inchagaggin Lane after a concerned member of the public raised the alarm.

The saluki was tied to an over-turned trolley, trapped in a standing position on top of it, and was at risk of strangulation. The lurcher was tied with a heavy chain and rope to a rafter.
