Couple who went away on holiday leaving their dogs so hungry that one tried to eat another are spared jail

                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Martin and Rebecca Clifton forced the four pets to live in their own faeces in New Houghton, Derbyshire, as they enjoyed a seaside break. But following an anonymous call, RSPCA inspectors were called to the house where the walls were caked in blood and mud and a dead Staffordshire Bull Terrier was found to have had its face mauled. An emaciated Rottweiler (pictured) was left locked in a small metal cage and all the animals were severely malnourished, with cuts and bite marks to their faces.
