Adam Britton: British croc expert admits sexually abusing dogs https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-66920778

Don't know if this'll link ok.

And before the comments start...

Yes I know NAMALT but how many woman (ie adult human female, not a wannabe) do this?

He sexually abused & tortured 39 dogs.
What he did is so bad the judge has advised people leave the courtroom.

Here's another link if this first one doesn't work.

I saw this earlier today and couldn't read the article, the headline alone made me cry. I haven't stopped thinking about those poor dogs all morning. What a complete and utter bastard.

Ditto- I couldn’t read the details.
Would be too upset.
Children and animals are so vulnerable.

Sickening.

I'm not going to read the article but I wish him a slow lingering miserable death and soon. The world is better off without some utterly worthless and actively detrimental people and he is undoubtedly one of them. I hope that he never knows a moment's peace or happiness again in his life.

As an aside you should not be able to dispose of animals on Gumtree and similar sites. Animals should not be traded like an unwanted vase. They're living beings. Gumtree is not an appropriate place to rehome them.

Completely agree.
People need to neuter and spay their animals.
Far too many animals are bred for easy money and sold online to whim buyers who then offer the animal for sale online- or “ Free to good home”

Ineedwinenow · 26/09/2023 14:07

These people need locking up and their bits chopped off, this is truly heartbreaking to read.

There was a story a few month ago about a man who worked in a hospital and he abused bodies of dead females, now this monster and not forgetting all the people that abuse children too, prison isn’t enough for these evil monsters!

Through my work I regularly come across dog wardens & dog charities and animal abuse in this context isn’t unheard of sadly.

I’m a dog person and when I look into my girls eyes I know I would kill anyone who harmed a hair on her head, this man needs to be put in general population on a day when guards are unfortunately all off sick!!

He was married! His poor wife.
Imagine finding out that your husband had done even a fraction of the horrific, sadistic brutality of this piece of shit.
Not sure how he could have done a lot of what he did without her knowing, but apparently he managed to keep it hidden.

Yes I also wondered how his wife did not realise unless she works away a lot.

SirenSays · 26/09/2023 15:47

If she truly has no idea its just awful. She finds out her husband is a monster, her life gets turned upside down and then the whole world wonders if she's just as depraved.

Xrays · 26/09/2023 15:50

This has really upset me today. I knew this sort of stuff went on but the scale of it, the online communities he operated in … just horrendous.

I think that is what is most frightening, there is a collective network of these people who have gone out of their way to engage with one another and share content. So this isn’t just one individual guilty of these crimes or enjoying this content, there’s a whole network.

They live among us - utterly terrifying.

Doormatnomore · 26/09/2023 16:20

Anyone who comes into contact with these individuals knows it’s just the tip of the bloody iceberg in terms of what happened and who knew. I keep repeating what a professor (in criminal behaviour) told me, you need to prosecute everyone for any involvement in sexual abuse and cruelty. Because until the penalty is criminal people always find excuses for why the it’s not what it is. He was talking about humans but you can extrapolate. Would mean prisons would be bursting at the seams though.

FuckYouEzekiel · 26/09/2023 16:22

Not even surprised. We abuse animals everyday, just look into how female animals are treated in the meat and dairy industry, male chicks thrown alive in to blenders etc. Humans are shit,and prey on the weak.

toadasoda · 26/09/2023 16:45

I don't for a second believe that his sadistic urges were limited only to animals, I'll bet its all he could get access to and what he thought he could get away with. Anyone who gets pleasure from inflicting pain is a very serious danger to society. God help us all when he is released

They confirmed he also had some child abuse images on his computer.

Show quote history

Surprise surprise!!! I hope he rots in hell

PuttingTheGreen · 26/09/2023 18:08

He, and others like him are sick in the head! There's a special place in hell for depravity like that I hope.
Those poor animals and children ( he had child images I believe on his computer )
Sick, depraved bastard should rot.

wherethewildthingis · 26/09/2023 18:11

I'm a children's social worker, I'm afraid you're wrong to say it's always a man. It's mostly a man but not always. Women can sexually abuse too and not because a man is driving them to do it - for their own gratification.

Xrays · 26/09/2023 18:19

I think the internet has a lot to answer for with these things. I mean yes there were always weirdos and paedophiles but it was more difficult for people to access vile images and videos etc. Now it’s just a click away. The ability to meet others anonymously, form some vile little community and encourage each other in these things. It’s really disgusting and there isn’t enough being done about it by the online giants, government etc etc.

I don't think Hell wants him, @PuttingTheGreen .
His actions are beyond belief.

JaneJeffer · 26/09/2023 18:58

I'd leave him for the dingoes to deal with

I had the same sense of horror after that case in France where the man was drugging is wife and inviting all those other men round to happily rape her unconscious body. Not just a lone sicko but a whole network, no way of telling who they are.

I hadn't heard about that or whatever it is the person is talking about with monkeys (I can imagine and won't be looking it up). Shit like this makes me want to be a recluse and never be around another human being again, you just don't know anyone at all and this arsehole was married and presumably his wife didn't have a clue.

Scottishdreams1991 · 26/09/2023 21:56

@wherethewildthingis I totally agree my mum sexually abused me with no man in sight. People saying only men or women only do it for a man allowed her to abuse me for so long and me not being believed.

Iop · 26/09/2023 22:10

@Scottishdreams1991 I'm so sorry for what you went through st the hands of your mum 🌷

I can't bring myself to read about this guy - I haven't recovered from the monkey article either. I'm not even an animal person, don't have any pets, don't really enjoy having animals around me... but even I can't fathom this sort of violence and depravity.

One thing I can never figure out when it crops up though is how women are physically able to sexually abuse an animal. And I don't really want to know! But if ever I read about a woman committing these sorts of acts I'm always a bit confused. As I said though, please nobody enlighten me 🤢

coxesorangepippin · 26/09/2023 22:15

Yeah saw this this morning

Absolutely unbelievable

Unsurprisingly, it's a man

coxesorangepippin · 26/09/2023 22:16

Yeah that bloke in France was something else too

And all those men who participated!

Well said! Bet most on this thread think nothing of all the animals killed for them to go on their plates. Damn hypocrites.

My concerns are primarily for the children abused, and his poor wife. Imagine thinking you might have had sex with your husband immediately after he's had his penis in a dog. Vile.
