Subscriber only A YOUNG woman who allegedly made her pet dog lick peanut butter from her genitals has been banned from owning another animal. Bethany Joan Elizabeth Kemmis, 24, faced the Cairns Magistrates Court on Monday charged with breach of duty of care by inappropriate handling. The court heard she is also facing a second unrelated charge of stealing which she was already on bail for. She has not entered pleas for either charge. It is understood the RSPCA was also involved in the investigation. Police prosecutor Codi Dalley asked for Magistrate Terence Browne to impose an interim prohibition order, prior to the matter being finalised, which would prevent her owning or purchasing another animal without approval from the RSPCA.
