Animal Cruelty on the increase
ANIMAL cruelty has sadly increased in the UK in the past 12 months. Today, The Sun Online profiles the most shocking incidents of animal cruelty in the past year.
In the most disturbing case a woman put her cat, Fluffy, in a washing machine on a boil wash cycle killing it within 10 minutes.
Fluffy broke all her claws as she struggled to free herself from the machine.
Holly Thacker from Norwich was jailed for six weeks and banned from keeping pets for life.
RSPCA Inspector Rob Melloy said: “In my seven years as an inspector I have never come across anything as heartless as this.
“It was a deliberate act of cruelty and she knew the cat would die in the washing machine.”
Another sad example took place in Aberfan, South Wales, where an electric knife was used to saw off a dog’s leg.
Griffith Prosser from the valley town was banned for keeping animals for a decade after admitting he amputated Bouncer’s right foreleg.
Inspector Simon Evans said: “This case beggars belief and it’s impossible to imagine suffering experienced by Bumper over a year.
“This unhappy tale illustrates the perils of doing nothing and the disastrous consequences of taking matters into your own hands.”
