Fat Dog Show Trial

Now, I always thought you needed intent to commit a crime, the mind of a criminal, mens rea, but in show trials, whether it concerns causing offence, or breaking animal care regulations this is not the case. Here is a case that was notorious in the locality a few years ago, one of the RSPCA's fundraising persecutions.
A jobless loser had a pet dog. The dog was not neglected. On the contrary the dog was given food by the owner. In fact, he was given too much food. Clearly the dog did not know when he was full up. Apparently the poor dog weighed ten stone, four stone overweight.
Yet, the RSPCA Inquisitor declared (as they often do) 'No food or water was left out'. Then how come the dog was so fat?!
If food had been left out by the owner, the dog would have been even fatter.
'A reasonable and humane person would not allow their dog to become obese.'
The poor jobless loser. Damned as unreasonable and inhumane for sharing his meals with his best friend, his dog!
Fortunately, for once, the RSPCA did not shoot the dog, but put it on a diet.
The loser was banned from owning a dog for ten years, fined £780 and ordered to do 200 hours community service.
It would have been nice if they had helped the guy, but, of course they weren't really interested in him, nor the dog for that matter.
They hunted down their quarry and they tormented him.
Poor guy.
