    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA431/2008

    Court allowed the appeal in part and reduced the sentences because the appellant's conduct amounted to neglect without intent to inflict physical cruelty, and his personal mitigation (mental distress, caring for others' animals, employment constraints) justified lesser penalties than imposed by the Magistrate; the order returning animals to SPCA was not disturbed.
