CONVICTED | convicted pa******le and serial wildlife killer Brandon Robb, aka Brandon Lee, born 28, from Leslie, Glenrothes, Fife KY6 – filmed his dogs hunting and killing wild animals and domestic cats.

Robb, who was jailed for seven years for child r**e* in June 2025, admitted a catalogue of wildlife offences.

Footage retrieved from Robb’s phones showed his two lurcher dogs being goaded into attacking deer, rabbits, hares, a fox cub, wild birds and domestic cats.

In one clip a cat is filmed desperately trying to hang on to a branch and in another Robb holds up the bloodied body of a cat that had been attacked by his dogs.

In another video a heron is shot with a catapult and a dog ordered to attack it.

Other footage showed two dogs chasing a roe deer and killing it. One dog is also seen with a hare in its mouth.

In other videos, the dogs can be seen with blood on their muzzles and Robb praising them for their actions.

The offences took place between August and November 2022 in woods and farmland in Fife and Kinross, usually at night.

He was caught after he shared the disturbing content to social media with one member of the public reporting him to police..

Items recovered from his home included torches, a pair of binoculars and a hunting knife.

Robb was also convicted of assaulting one of the officers during his arrest.

Police Scotland wildlife crime officer, Con Ben Pacholek, said the crimes were some of the worst he had ever seen.

He added: “Robb boasted about the prowess of his dogs and gloried in the suffering of the animals he ordered them to harm. His actions were despicable.”

Iain Batho, who leads on wildlife crime for the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service, said: “Brandon Robb’s actions had no purpose or motive other than to fulfil his own desire to inflict pain and suffering on innocent animals.”

Robb had 21 previous convictions and had served time in prison for animal crimes.

He was jailed in 2014 after admitting using his dog to hunt a rare piebald deer. This happened while he was awaiting sentencing for another animal crime where he stole 30 ducks from a farm in Fife alongside accomplice Benny Murray, also of Leslie, Fife.

Sentencing | one-year custodial. Banned indefinitely from owning or keeping animals.

CONVICTED | Masood Khan (photo wanted), 40, from Longsight, Manchester M13 – for the mistreatment of two dogs found starved, neglected and with fighting/baiting injuries at his home.

The RSPCA were called to a property in Longsight where their inspector found a white Boxer crossbreed named Sasha in the back garden surrounded by faeces. She was underweight, covered in fighting scars, and was also suffering from an untreated eye condition, which later resulted in her eye being removed.

A black pitbull-type dog named Haze was also underweight, visibly nervous and had scarring and wounds around his face and legs.

Despite recovering well in the RSPCA's care, sadly Haze was identified as a banned breed and had to be put to sleep in line with Breed Specific Legislation.

Of Haze's death, the RSPCA said: "It's heartbreaking when we've worked hard to rescue and rehabilitate an animal and want to find them their happy-ever-after, but are forced to euthanase them."

The dogs' owner Khan pleaded guilty to two offences under the Animal Welfare Act.

Sentencing | 12-month community order with 10 days of ‘rehabilitation’ and 100 hours of unpaid work; £1,000 costs. Disqualified from keeping animals for just five years.

CONVICTED | Melanie Charlton, 52, and Robert Charlton, 56, from Bramley, Leeds LS13 – left their dog bald, bleeding and in pain with untreated mange.

The Charltons left crossbreed Teddy in “severe discomfort” with chronic skin disease for at least a month and likely far longer. The RSPCA visited the couple’s address and found the little dog in a coat, jumper and cone collar. His eyes were crusty and his skin severely inflamed.

Animal Rescue Officer Connie Brown said: “Upon arrival I noticed immediately the dog’s manner was subdued as he did not react to my arrival and his nails were overgrown.

“Teddy was wearing a black waterproof coat and a plastic cone collar with a red woolly jumper underneath.

“I asked Melanie to remove these items of clothing so that I could assess the dog. I was then able to see he had extensive hair loss all over the body except for the head. The skin was thickened and appeared to have been bleeding in places, mostly on the back. It was also hot to touch and the dog’s eyes were crusty and cloudy.

“Teddy appeared uncomfortable and was attempting to scratch and bite himself. I asked the owner if he had received any veterinary treatment for this issue, to which she replied no. I advised her that he needed to see a vet immediately.”

Teddy was taken to the RSPCA's Greater Manchester Animal Hospital for veterinary examination.

In her written statement to the court the vet who saw him, she said: “When Teddy arrived he was constantly nibbling and scratching and had caused himself to bleed.

“There were chronic changes present to his skin such as severe thickening, reddening, active bleeding and scabbing, indicating that the disease had been left untreated for several weeks.

“I started Teddy on analgesia, treatment for mites, antibiotics, eye drops and gave him routine vaccinations. I performed skin scr**es to identify the mites and sent confirmatory blood samples to the laboratory. The result confirmed sarcoptes antibodies were present, meaning a positive sarcoptic mange diagnosis.

“Given the severity of Teddy’s condition on presentation, in my opinion he will have suffered for four weeks as a minimum, likely longer. I would expect the average owner to notice that he was in severe discomfort and to take action to alleviate this.”

Little Teddy was nursed back to health by the RSPCA Halifax, Huddersfield, Bradford & District Branch.

Animal Centre Manager Claire Spencer, said: “We gave Teddy special medicated baths twice a week. It took about a month for us to get a clear result and then his skin and fur started to look much better.

“He was a really gentle, loving dog and it was so upsetting to see the distressing state he was in. Once he had been signed off by a vet it didn’t take long for us to find him a wonderful new home and he was adopted on June 15.

“We’re so pleased he made a full recovery and is now in good health and enjoying life once again.”

The Charltons admitted breaching the Animal Welfare Act by failing to seek veterinary help for Teddy’s ailments.

In mitigation the court was told they had tried to look after Teddy and manage the situation as best they could but had not realised it was a skin condition. They said they had never heard of sarcoptic mange and had tried treating him for fleas.

Speaking after sentencing, RSPCA Inspector Rebecca Goulding who led the investigation, said: “Teddy had suffered for weeks from chronic skin disease for which no professional help had been sought. We all have a responsibility to the animals we take on and that includes seeking timely and appropriate veterinary intervention.

“With the right care, Teddy came on in leaps and bounds. He looks like a different dog now and our fantastic team at Halifax did a wonderful job to get him back to full health and into a loving new home.”

Sentencing | each was fined £60 and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £24 and costs of £200. Ten-year ban but can appeal after five years.

13/07/2025

SENTENCED) | Allan Petrie, 51, from Leven in Fife - drowned his Golden Retriever in the bathtub and sent photos of the dog’s body to his ex partner.

Twisted Petrie killed his 10-year-old dog Jack (pictured) at his home and texted horrific photographs of the aftermath to his ex.

In chilling text messages, Petrie told the woman, who has since died: “I’ve just committed murder.”

He added: “Av put it oot his miserable f* life. And am next coming get your fu***ng collie.”

The text was followed by a smiling face emoji.

Investigators were forced to dig up Jack's body. A post mortem showed, in addition to aspirating water, he had suffered a blunt force trauma.

Sentence was initially deferred to July 2021 but Petrie was a no-show. He was finally sentenced in July 2025 after being apprehended by police in England on an unrelated matter.

He was brought back before Sheriff James Williamson, who had warned him four years earlier he was facing a custodial sentence.

However, Petrie escaped with a fine after the Crown accepted his claim that his killing of the dog was a “misguided“ attempt to help the animal after he became seriously ill during lockdown.

The court was told Petrie is working and moves from site to site in a caravan. He is understood to be currently living in Campbeltown, Argyll.

Sentencing | ordered to pay a fine of £2,925. Five-year ban on owning dogs.

===

Speaking to local newspaper the Courier in June 2021, Petrie’s ex partner, Karen Howarth (since deceased) from Methil, Fife, said she believed Jack was killed because he was getting too old to go hillwalking.

Karen had ended her five-year on-off relationship with Petrie earlier in the year but they had kept in touch.

She described Jack, who was the father to one of her own dogs, Dakota, as “the best dog”.

She said: “Jack was a dog that as soon as he saw you the tail was wagging and he had a big smile. He was the biggest, canniest lump you could ever get.

“You couldn’t get a better, more loving dog.”

She believes Petrie turned on the 10-year-old Golden Retriever as he was becoming too old to go hill walking, and because he was scared of fireworks.

She said: “I think he was raging because he likes to go walking, and he likes to go up hills – we’re talking Munros. Jack wasn’t able for the hills.

“He’d be alright for the walk, but the following day he’d be all sore. And that didn’t suit Allan.

“And then you’ve got fireworks night. He didn’t like fireworks, hated fireworks with a passion. Even before the fireworks came, that dog knew that it was that time of year and any time he heard a bang he would shiver and quake and be a mess.”

Karen recalled the terrifying moment she was sent the photo of Jack’s lifeless body stretched out in a bathtub.

She said: “I got a text saying ‘I’ve just killed’.

“I said: ‘What have you killed, a spider?’ and then he said that he’d drowned Jack.

“I said I didn’t believe him because he loved that dog and he sent me a photo of Jack in the bath."

Karen said: “I was absolutely heartbroken. Absolutely devastated, and shocked, and I was just beside myself.

“He phoned me and he was laughing – he said ‘you should have seen me trying to get him out of the bath. That f***er was heavy’.

“He said he had to grab him by the tail and drag him through the house.”

“That Christmas was a nightmare – the telly was full of big, cuddly, fluffy Golden Retriever puppies and all I did was greet.”

CONVICTED | Joseph Heald, 29, from Inkersall, Chesterfield S43 – starved a young dog until he became skeletal and weak with hunger

Heald pleaded guilty to being jointly concerned with another and causing unnecessary suffering to an Old English bulldog called AJ by failing to investigate and address the dog’s poor body condition and weight loss.

A member of the public contacted the RSPCA with concerns for AJ who they said was kept outside all the time and was getting thinner and thinner and struggling to stand. The caller said they would feed the dog themselves when they could. They also offered to take him to the vet but Heald refused.

RSPCA Animal Rescue Officer Sophie Taylor attended the address with the police in March 2024. They went inside the property and found AJ inside a small bathroom surrounded by his own urine and faeces. His spine, ribs and skull were very pronounced.

He looked miserable and in pain, had no muscles on his back legs and was struggling with any movement.

The police officer who attended stated it was the worst condition they had ever seen a dog in and it brought tears to their eyes.

AJ was removed from the property and taken to a vet. Examination found him to be emaciated with very little muscle mass. He was given a body condition score of just 1 out of 9. He could walk but appeared to be very weak on his legs. His temperature was 33.7 degrees which indicated hypothermia. He had sores present on his hocks and metacarpals.

An expert vet estimated that AJ was caused to suffer unnecessarily physically and mentally for a minimum period of one month, but more likely up to six months.

Speaking after the case ARO Sophie Taylor said: “It was heartbreaking to find AJ in such a terrible condition and I wasn’t sure if he would be strong enough to make it – which was devastating given that he was still so young.

“I am delighted that after everything he has been through he has now made a good recovery and has been rehomed to a wonderful family who just adore him.”

In mitigation the court heard the defendant was remorseful and at the time had been under significant strain but his personal circumstances have now improved.

The second defendant pleaded guilty to two offences at an earlier hearing. In February 2025 they were given a 12-week suspended prison sentence and disqualified from keeping all animals for 15 years.

Sentencing (Heald) | 136-day custodial suspended for 18 months; 200 hours of unpaid work; 10 days of rehabilitation. Ordered to pay £600 costs and £154 victim surcharge. Disqualified from keeping all animals for 15 years.

🔴 Animal Abuser at Large 🔴 | Pollokshields, Glasgow G41: woman caught viciously kicking a docile dog in disturbing footage.

via Glasgow Live

The incident happened on Barrland Street in Pollokshields shortly after noon on Sunday, July 6, and was reported to the Scottish SPCA. It is understood the animal welfare charity is investigating the incident.

In the shocking footage, which was posted on social media, a horrified onlooker filmed the woman who, at first, can be seen twice kicking the dog while he or she sniffs some long grass.

The woman, who appears to be wearing blue pyjamas, then firmly tugs on the lead while the dog, who looks to be a German Shepherd, sniffed around the grass.

The dog returns to the believed to be owner, before she viciously kicks the dog in the face, forcing the dog into the air. The woman then turns around before the clip comes to an end.

The person who shared the clip says the footage was taken by their friend as she left her southside flat.

She said: "The behaviour is honestly so shocking and she should be ashamed."

The friend attempted to follow the woman after taking the footage but lost her when she disappeared into a building.

‼️ RSPCA Appeal ‼️ | Lowestoft, East Suffolk: deceased dog found inside a crate in a field.

The badly decomposing body of the young female lurcher or whippet-type dog was found by a member of the public on Thursday, June 26 in Church Road, Lowestoft. She was white or cream-in colour.

She was found inside a crate with a blanket and a bowl and was wearing a blue rope as a collar.

The cause of the dog's death isn't known due to the extent of decomposition but the presence of the bowl and blanket in the crate suggest that she had been callously abandoned alive.

RSPCA Inspector Ben Kirby: “We are grateful to the member of the public for reporting this and to the police. We are keen to find out who may have owned this dog and left her there.

“It is absolutely heartbreaking to think this poor dog was abandoned and could have died as a result of this from prolonged suffering.

“No matter what the reason, abandoning an animal alone and in a situation like this is never okay. There is no guarantee that an abandoned animal will be found in time.

“If someone is struggling to cope, there are lots of charities who could help and we would urge you to ask for help."

The RSPCA is appealing to members of the public to come forward if they know who the owners of the dog are or if they have any information by contacting the RSPCA appeal line on 0300 123 8018.

CONVICTED | backyard breeder Moheiz Adam, 38, from Newport, Wales NP19 – arranged for dogs’ ears to be cropped.

Self-professed “dog whisperer” Moheiz Adam, who bred bull-breed puppies under the name Sons of Adam, carried out “barbaric acts of cruelty” on multiple puppies by arranging to have their ears cropped. He then falsified canine passports to allow buyers to claim their dogs had been imported to the UK with their ears already cropped.

Prosecutor Lee Reynolds told the court the defendant claimed he could make between £40,000 and £60,000 per litter, and he had had about six litters that year alone.

Adam’s greed, illicit and cruel activities were exposed in a 2021 BBC Wales documentary called The Hidden World of Designer Dog Breeding. In it, he was shown telling an undercover reporter posing as a potential buyer that he could arrange for puppies’ ears to be cropped to give them a “striking” look.

He offered to sell the reporter a puppy for £13,000, adding that the dog would be available from six weeks old.

He then told the reporter he’d “got a guy” and added: “All of my dogs have been done by him”. He added: “If any questions are asked, say you bought it from an Irishman, brought from Europe”.

Mr Reynolds said: “It was clear Mr Adam was talking about ear mutilation… He knew the procedure was unlawful and he knew it was causing suffering to the dogs but he put profit before the welfare of these animals.”

On July 12, 2022, Newport Council officials attended Adam’s home where they found evidence of mutilated puppies and fraudulent pet passports. American Bulldogs, including one with cropped ears, and a pregnant French bulldog were found in poor conditions at the address and were seized under the Animal Welfare Act. All of the rescued dogs were transferred into the care of Hope Rescue.

Adam, who has nine previous criminal convictions including for drug dealing, knife possession, drink driving and burglary, pleaded guilty to fraud and causing unnecessary suffering to animals.

Sentencing, Judge Eugene Egan said: “You selfishly prioritised your financial interests over and above the welfare of the dogs in this case. You engaged in barbaric acts of cruelty of these dogs and unnecessarily caused them pain.

“You lined your pockets in a grotesque, cruel and wholly needless way and the welfare of the dogs were ignored because of your avarice.”

Sentencing | 80-week custodial suspended for two years; 240 hours of unpaid work; 15 days of ‘rehabilitation’; £2,300 court costs. Disqualified from keeping animals for 15 years.

CONVICTED | Gary Fisher, 61, from Barnton, Northwich CW8 – left his elderly dog in pain with a huge ulcerated eye mass for over two years.

Heartless Fisher went on foreign holidays to destinations like Turkey while ignoring the appalling suffering of 11-year-old Golden Retriever, Bodie, because he didn’t want to pay vet fees.

On October 29, 2024, RSPCA inspectors went to Fisher’s address in Barnton, near Northwich, after receiving a tip-off from a concerned member of the public. When Fisher brought Bodie to the door Inspector Nadine Pengilly was “really shocked” by the size and condition of the mass above his right eye.

Fisher told her he had taken Bodie to see two vets in 2023 but was quoted £1,600 for CT scans. Believing that the vets “were just out to make money from him” he refused to take Bodie back for further investigation or treatment.

Bodie was examined at RSPCA Greater Manchester Animal Hospital and, after he had to be legally seized by police, vets took the difficult decision to put him to sleep.

In a statement read out in court, Inspector Pengilly said: “The skin had totally split open and a large tumour mass was exposed to the elements.

“The mass was bleeding in places and was dripping blood with thick dark blood clots.

“There was hair and dead skin embedded in the mass, which was bigger than my clenched fist.

“Mr Fisher said he didn’t think Bodie was in any pain as he was still eating and drinking and wagging his tail.

“I told him I believed that the dog was suffering and needed to be seen by a vet immediately.”

In a written statement made available to the court, the RSPCA’s examining vet said the large swelling was ‘large, heavy, and was causing a head tilt to the right side’.

They said when he walked in the consulting room, Bodie was bumping into objects causing more bleeding and sores.

“The whole area was ulcerated, infected, and dry crusty discharge as well as wet purulent discharge (pus) were present,” they added

“Dirt and hair were adhered to the area. I could not identify the structure of a healthy eye as the skin of the eyelid was extremely stretched and tense.

“The mass was bleeding from a few open sores.”

The vet added Bodie had a very friendly temperament but was unhappy when the affected area was touched and examined.

In court Fisher pleaded guilty to one Animal Welfare Act offence.

The court heard in mitigation that no “no malicious intent” lay behind his callous neglect of his loyal pet.

Following sentencing, investigating officer, RSPCA Inspector Anthony Joynes, said: “This is a very upsetting and distressing case.

“Bodie was clearly neglected and suffered for a prolonged period.

“There is never an excuse for failing to provide veterinary care.

“We urge pet owners who are struggling, including with medical bills, to please seek help.

“Don’t bury your head in the sand and leave conditions untreated and for them to become worse.

“There is help out there and we urge you to seek this before it’s too late.”

Sentencing | eight-week custodial, suspended for 12 months; 100 hours of unpaid work; £400 costs plus £154 victim surcharge. Disqualified from keeping all animals for a mere five years.

CONVICTED | Tayler Thompson, 28, from Kitts Green, Birmingham B33 – kicked a tiny dog into the air in a fit of rage.

Thompson, whose previous convictions include criminal damage, road rage, assaults and knife possession, sparked public outrage after being caught on CCTV kicking a stranger’s dog in the street outside his home on Audley Road, Kitts Green.

Following his arrest on suspicion of animal cruelty, he subjected police to two hours of racial abuse.

Then, while on bail for those offences, he repeatedly strangled his mother, trashed her belongings and lit a fire inside her home.

In the dock, he admitted causing unnecessary suffering to a dog, two charges of racial harassment, possession of cannabis, three counts of criminal damage, two offences of intentional strangulation, arson and assault by beating.

The first incident took place on June 17 , 2024, when a woman walked her dog past Thompson as he sat in his car on the driveway.

Prosecutor Gary Cook told the court: “The defendant beeped his horn and caught her attention.

“He got out and started shouting ‘get your f***ing dog away from my house. I’m fed up of this sh*t everywhere’.

“He walked up to her and her dog. With his right leg he kicked the dog with quite a force causing the dog to come off the ground into the air and yelp in pain. The defendant returned to his vehicle and drove off.”

The unnamed dog required veterinary treatment costing more than £300 following the unprovoked assault. The owner said the incident had left her scared to leave her own house and struggling to sleep.

Thompson was arrested three days later after neighbours reported he had been making threats and banging on their windows..

Mr Cook told the court: “People had taken umbrage to what he had done. He had eggs thrown at his window and a dog had done its business on his driveway. He was rather exercised about all that.”

After Thompson was arrested he repeatedly banged himself up against the police van. While in custody he subjected two police offers to two hours of ‘sustained racially offensive comments’ about ‘Europeans’.

He was released on bail and went to stay at his mother’s home. While there he smashed a picture of her late brother, punched holes in bedroom doors and pulled the kitchen drawers off.

On July 14, 2024, he was outside the address breaking plant pots, bins and a garden fence.

When a neighbour approached him he said ‘you better go in before I r**e you’, the prosecutor told the court.

Two days later he attacked his mother.

Mr Cook said: “He started to rant and rave and put one of his hands on the right side of her neck and squeezed really hard.

“She managed to pull his hand off. He then shouted: ‘I could kill you any time I want’.”

Thompson left his mother’s home but returned on September 8, jumping over a fence and getting in through the patio door.

Mr Cook said: “He was there for three hours. An argument ensued and he punched her to the head, grabbed her around the throat and started to squeeze.

“She got him off and left the room. During the incident he shouted he could kill her.”

Thompson followed his mother into the kitchen and grabbed her neck again as well as punched, pushed and kicked her.

He continued to shout abuse before he set fire to a newspaper in a bin and threatened to burn the house down.

Thompson threw the bin outside but then smashed the glass of an internal door and pursued his mother upstairs while holding a knife, demanding she admit everything was her fault.

The court heard that Thompson, who was said to have ADHD and autism, had previously committed 14 offences including having knives in public, criminal damage and assaults.

In mitigation the court heard that her Thompson’s mental disorders made it difficult for him to communicate and had contributed towards his anger management issues.

Sentencing | jailed for three years and two months. Restraining order. No ban.
