He also admitted to four counts of accessing child abuse material.
This seems like it should have also been in the headline.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

i mean sure looking up that shit is bad but fucking dogs to death is worse i think
I didn't say don't put the dog part in the headline, I said put both in the headline. "He's also a pedophile" shouldn't be something that people need to keep reading to find out about.
Being a paedo is inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. CSAM is illegal, rightfully so, but the CSAM videos weren't produced by him.
The amount of suffering produced directly by Britton vastly outweighs the suffering he caused by potentially redistributing the CSAM videos.

Why? The term itself has become almost totally devalued after a decade of conservatives labeling everyone with it. When I see the word now I just think it identifies the information as clickbait or propaganda.
Because it's a fact. You know, the thing the news is supposed to report on.
I don't think he actually fucked the dogs to death. I think they died of actual sadistic torture.
Which isn't any better, but somehow the former just feels worse to me.
Death by anal perforation or whatever would be a shit way to die, but I think there's some that are even worse.
It's weird how often headlines bury that lede. Happened a lot with that Dutch volleyball player too. Headlines would never call him a child rapist. That's what he did yet never in the headline.

Unless he paid for it I don't see how the two things are remotely equivalent. I'd take someone having thousands of vile images on their computer over someone who abused a child or animal even once.
10 years!?! This psychopath deserves life in prison, and nothing less.
I've been following this case for almost two years, the sick fuck did this in my home town.
The degree of pain this cunt inflicted is disgusting. I regret reading the detailed description of the 1B9P video, it made me sick.
To give this piece of shit the opportunity to reenter society, and potentially torture other animals, is unacceptable. 10 years doesn't cut it.
A Reddit user said:
Which about sums it up.
10 that's it?
Could be six on parole if he is a good prisoner.
I really hope fate prevents him from leaving prison in anything other than a hearse.
I wonder of he will get the same treatment as the dogs.
Wtf
Both child abuse and animal abuse are treated far too leniently by the law. This guy should never be released.
woa and the summary does not even get into the general description of what he did that sounds so bad I don't want any details. I want to hit I need to take a half day in chat and then take tomorrow to.
I've read a more detailed summary than what is currently available by doing a search.
It actually took me a week to read the description though, I just couldn't process how someone could be this sick.
I regret knowing the details, I am sick with anger whenever I think about Britton.
To know it happened in my hometown makes it so much worse to me.
So he's a massively gross pervert and an expert on croc footwear?
"He tortured at least 42 dogs, killing 39 of them, according to court documents seen by the BBC"
This is beyond being a pervert. This is a fucking serial killer. He tortured and killed the dogs in a shipping container on his property, and fed them to other animals.
The video that got him caught involved torturing 8 puppies.
And to my horror as a dog owner, he tricked pet owners into given them to him. It's not rational but it feels worse when they all had names and people who loved them.
I was wondering how he kept getting dogs for this. This whole thing is terrible.
This is what one should expect from someone obsessed with crocs.
Aren't all Croc wearers?
Truly, this look is a red flag for bad life decisions.
Pure deviancy.
"Corporate wants you to find the difference between these two people"
shows a picture of a massively gross pervert and an expert on croc footwear
cuts away "they're the same people"

IT IS A FIGURE OF SPEECH, ADAM! CHRIST!
56 counts?!
Wtf
Say what now?!
He really loves dogs. Adam should be put to sleep.
What was the clue?
RTFA
Britton usually went to great lengths to avoid identifying himself or his location in his videos, but in this one a bright orange City of Darwin dog leash could be seen in the background.

He'll be dead soon, scum like that dont last too long in prison. Maybe a gofund me for someone's commissary to grease the wheels.
