Police officers in Devon and Cornwall kept a dog in a cage for two years without exercise.
The dog, Stella, was seized in 2014 and kept in a small, 3-foot-by-9-foot cage in Devon since then, the BBC reported.
Devon and Cornwall Police didn’t say why the dog, a pitbull-like breed, was kept in the cage without exercise for such a long period of time. Officials determined the animal was potentially dangerous.
A worker at the kennel where Stella was being kept was told by police not to exercise dogs held under the Dangerous Dogs Act.
Around three weeks ago, Khanlarian posted an update on her Facebook describing a “most disgusting heart wrenching pain” because “so many people are responsible for the welfare of England’s dogs and yet so many show no real care or responsibility.”
“You run free on those pretty feet my STELLA BLUE!” she wrote, alongside a picture of the dog.
But the BBC reported that a final court ruling issued a destruction order for Stella.
Devon and Cornwall Police have not issued a statement on the matter.
