A renowned British zoologist has been sentenced to ten years in prison after pleading guilty to 56 charges involving the abuse, torture, and death of over 40 dogs.
Adam Britton, 53, tortured more than 42 dogs before his arrest in April 2022, according to Australian news outlets. Last Thursday (8), he was sentenced to over ten years in prison by a court in Australia.
During the trial, his abuses, which included torturing animals to death, were exposed, prompting the judge to warn people in the courtroom that they might suffer a “nervous shock” upon hearing the details, according to a BBC report.
Britton owned a container on his property with filming equipment and used the space “to torture, abuse, and kill dogs.” He shared videos and images of himself abusing the dogs on online forums under pseudonyms.
In Thursday’s sentencing, Britton, who was a senior researcher at Charles Darwin University and also worked on BBC and National Geographic productions, said he “deeply regrets” the “pain and trauma” caused to innocent animals and their friends and families.
