The Court of Appeal partially modified the first-instance judgment regarding a defendant charged with animal cruelty and theft. The court found a factual error concerning the recipient of the fine and the specific animals involved, leading to an increased monetary penalty and a new order for the forfeiture of two horses. Consequently, the appeal was allowed in part to correct these specific errors while the remainder of the original verdict remained in force.
