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.
He also admitted to four counts of accessing child abuse material.
This seems like it should have also been in the headline.
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.
So he’s a massively gross pervert and an expert on croc footwear?
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.
“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.
10 years!?! This psychopath deserves life in prison, and nothing less.
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 left his driver’s license in the background. /s
Lol, I read that he left a leach indicating the city he lived in, and the police figured the rest out.
Capital punishment imo
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.
He really loves dogs. Adam should be put to sleep.
