Dog owner ‘fled’ wardens

A dog owner is refusing to hand up his three dogs for destruction and had “fled from dog wardens”, a court in Kerry was told.

The whereabouts of the three dangerous dogs, one of which weighs more than 15 stone (100kg), have not been disclosed to the county council.

The original destruction order was made at the District Court in September 2014 after evidence by Kerry County Council dog wardens that the Alsatian, Great Dane and cross-bred Collie belonging to Jimmy, also known as James White, of Knockeendubh, Tralee Rd, Killarney, were dangerous and had attacked people, and were not under adequate control on October 19, 2013, and March 26, 2013, at his address.
