The former owner of a kennel raided by the RSPCA over animal welfare concerns has been banned from acting as a company director for seven years.

Jodie Annabel Fairbrother, 40, from Immingham, is the former owner of the 4Paws kennels in South Killinghome.

The bankruptcy restrictions imposed on Fairbrother, effective from March 28 2019, last for seven years and prohibit her from several activities.

These include acting as a director without permission from the court and attempting to borrow more than £500 without declaring restrictions they are subject to.

In March 2018, 4Paws was raided by the RSPCA and 160 animals were removed from the property.

Pictures emerged of the animals living in poor conditions and tests later revealed that some had ‘serious diseases’ not found in the UK.
