Trigger Warning - Abuse - & Gumtree Warning

[_PL_]

Quote

It was heard that Britton used marketplace website Gumtree to source new dogs, often building a rapport with the owners who were reluctantly giving their pets away due to travel or work commitments.

Mr Aust said a number of the dog owners had reached out to Britton for updates on their pets' transition. 

Apart from the gruesome content, this excerpt also stood out for me given the warnings of dog fighting rings, the way this predator 'groomed' owners into handing over their dogs with trust should also be a warning.     

Link for anyone with a strong stomach. Please be careful.  It's not for general curiosity.

I hope he is sent to a prison full of men who like dogs, and is treated as he deserves.

I keep thinking about those people who are wondering what awfulness happened to their dogs when they thought they were in good hands, truly awful for them, and, of course, the poor dogs

Poor, poor dogs

It's stories like this that make one ashamed to be of the same species as the monsters who perpetrate these kinds of acts.

 

I think the punishment should fit the crime when it comes to this sort of monster... grrr! And the bastard isn't even one iota remorseful for what he's done...

the more I understand about humans, the more I love my dog (all dogs, big, small, purebred, mongrels, smelly, clean, hyper, chilled, focused, scattered, calm, anxious; yep, all dogs). Just so much better behaved than a lot of humans. I guess I'm just a misanthrope, but I'd much prefer to spend quality time with a dog. Dogs have no shit, no agenda, just want a fun time. And they trust us....

Absolutely terrible. Hope they throw the book at him.

Reminds me of the character of Mick Taylor in the Wolf Creek movies.

[Mairead]

I can't recall that Mick Taylor was cruel to animals in the first movie at least, but cruelty to animals is, or should be, a very big warning sign that behaviour may escalate to people.

It is also now considered a sign of family violence.
