Unique case marks Maitland cruelty trial over calf clipping

In West Maitland Court last week Percy Glen Legos of Newcastle faced four counts of cruelly treating calves and mutilating them. Convictions were recorded on one count with a £10 bond for 12 months. Three other charges were proven but dismissed under Crimes Act provisions due to Legos being a public figure and his good character. He was ordered to pay substantial costs. Lloyd Everingham of Vacy also faced similar charges but all were dismissed for good character. The case centered on clipping calf teats to protect strain, with conflicting expert opinions on pain and necessity. Legos asserted 20 years of practice and claimed calves showed no distress.
