The 'Big Brother' Council Who Set The Dogs On The Kennels... Sending 12 Officials To Check On One Pet

Not many farms offering luxurious accommodation have been raided because of claims that they are overcrowded with dogs.
But then Lucies Farm is no ordinary establishment.
It offers £50-a-night accommodation for man's best friend, including acupuncture from a vet, massages and an indoor pool for doggy paddles.
But its tranquility was shattered after 12 council officials raided the kennels, which are licensed to keep ten dogs, while just one pet was staying there.
Acting on a tip-off, the team from two local authorities, operating under the Animal Welfare Act 2006, entered the home of owners Craig and Marjorie Walsh on the site and seized computer files containing personal details.
In their trawl for evidence, they took personal medical histories, credit card information and even a list of jewellery drawn up for the couple's insurers.
The raid took place on January 10 while Mr and Mrs Walsh were away.
After a seven-month investigation that cost thousands of pounds, Worcestershire county council's trading standards department wrote to the couple to say it had found no wrongdoing at the kennels near Powick.
Mr and Mrs Walsh, both 59, are now suing the 'council snoops' for £150,000 over the 'Big Brother-style' raid.
