Six men jailed after £300k worth of dogs advertised online under false pretences

Six men have been jailed for selling dogs under false pretences, while eleven family members admitted animal welfare offenses and were banned from owning dogs for 10 years.
The scheme involved multiple properties, vehicles, and false advertisements, with buyers paying up to £2,500 for sick or underweight dogs.
RSPCA investigators found emaciated and thirsty dogs at a Traveller Site in Newport, leading to multiple raids and convictions for the McDonagh family members.
