Vet Locked Dogs In 'Dungeon' At Surgery

A vet has been banned from keeping animals for life after police found dogs in a "pitch black dungeon" at his practice in Leeds. "I've seen a lot of shocking things working for the RSPCA, but I would certainly never have expected to deal with something like this," inspector Nikki Cheetham said. "Dogs and cats were in a back room, the vet's living quarters and a basement, accessed by a trapdoor in the floor that had been hidden by a piece of carpet - that's where most of the dogs were found.
