The former owner of four border collies, found with wounded noses, has pled guilty to animal cruelty charges.
RSPCA staff discovered the neglected animals, during a 2015 visit to Woodford Island man James Connelly’s property.
Muzzles, fitted to the dogs, caused the injuries and made it nearly impossible for them to bark or eat.
53-year-old Connelly didn’t appear in Grafton Local Court on Monday – instead he pleaded guilty through his solicitor.
He’ll be sentenced next month.
