Kirsty Morgan and Daniel Morgan, both of Greenway, Sedgley, were both sentenced at Birmingham Magistrates Court on September 18, in a case brought by the RSPCA.
The court heard that in September 2023, concerns were raised by members of the public, leading to Welfare Advisors from The Donkey Sanctuary discovering four donkeys that were living in a muddy field off Gorge Road allotments in Sedgley.
The field was found to be in a poor state, with broken fencing and very little grazing or forage for the donkeys.
The Donkey Sanctuary team contacted the RSPCA, and working together with officers, rescued the donkeys, who were called Barney, Snowman, Bambi and Ben.
All four of the donkeys were given body condition scores of two or less out of five by a specialist equine vet, with their hips and spines visible.
