Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Adam Britton, a leading zoologist who has worked on BBC and National Geographic productions, pleaded guilty to 56 charges relating to bestiality and animal cruelty.

He also admitted to four counts of accessing child abuse material.

The Northern Territory (NT) Supreme Court heard the 53-year-old filmed himself torturing the animals until almost all died, and then shared the videos online under pseudonyms.

His abuse went unnoticed for years, until a clue was found in one of his videos. Britton was arrested in April 2022 after a search of his rural Darwin property, which also uncovered child abuse material on his laptop.

Yeah this is worse than pedophilia.

Anyone who down votes this has no idea how fucked up Britton was.

As someone who was sexually abused as a child, I can say with certainty that Britton's capacity to inflict suffering far surpasses 99% of child rapists.

If you disagree, I'm certain you do not know the details of Britton's crimes.

There's some idiots so damn bandwagoned by popular media that they think some dude getting excited about kids is equal to torturing to death several living things. These are people who are out of touch because they don't live with real problems or know how bad pain can be. They're only gonna react with what they think is most socially reinforced.

What those poor dogs experienced is beyond my comprehension.

What a lot of people don't understand is this wasn't just physical torture, Britton was doing this shit and making other dogs watch, because he knew it was adding to the trauma.

If these were people, and not dogs, Britton would go down as the sickest fuck in modern history, not even John Wayne Gacey was this disturbed (assuming you don't have a species bias).

I'll never get over how people put animals below them. Like, I eat meat. I've got no problem with the food chain. I am bothered by the food industry though. The cows shouldn't be living fucked up lives so I can eat them.
