Three collie type dogs were removed from a locked van and were subsequently rehomed.
Judge Éiteáin Cunningham described the case as “horrendous” and “disturbing.”
Stewart was fined a total of €1,500 and was also banned from keeping animals for ten years.
Judge Cunningham noted that the accused had clearly “not learned” from the experience of his previous two year ban.
“This has been a prolonged and challenging case involving a persistent offender," said ISPCA Senior Inspector Kevin McGinley.
"The ISPCA would like to thank the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine for prosecuting this case and also DAFM veterinary and technical staff, along with An Garda Síochána, for their assistance which ultimately led to a successful prosecution and conviction in this case”.
If you have any animal welfare concerns, the ISPCA encourages the public to report them to the National Animal Cruelty Helpline in confidence on 0818 515 515, to email helpline@ispca.ie or report online here.
