Man jailed and suspended after 167 animals found caged inside house. Video

A man in the United Kingdom was banned from owing animals after police found 167 animals, including mice, rabbits and birds caged inside a dirty house. Additionally, the man was sentenced to 34 weeks in prison and suspended for 2 years.

Camera footage captured the moment when police officials discovered the animals caged, along with dead animals, in a house in Northamptonshire.

"When officers first attended the house in Rushden, they were faced with a house filled with animals, all in terrible living conditions-there were a total of 167 living creatures packed into cages stacked on top of each other, all over the property," PC Chloe Gillies, a member of Northamptonshire Police's rural crime team said.
The man, identified as 61-year-old Kim Starks, was earlier charged with causing suffering to protected animals and breaching a disqualification order that barred him from owing animals.

Then ban was imposed in February 2000 after a previous conviction and after a breach in March 2000, it was converted to a lifetime ban in June 2000 at Northampton Crown Court.

As per a release by Northamptonshire Police Department, police officials visited the house in February after a concern for welfare report was made on 999 because of foul smell coming from the house and flies were found in the windows.
