Cwmann, Carmarthenshire: Evan Bevan

May 16, 2024 misanthropic 2 Comments

CONVICTED (2024) | backyard breeder and serial animal abuser Evan David Bevan, born October 1979, of Pyllau Crynion, Cwmann, Lampeter SA48 8EX – kicked a pony, hit one dog repeatedly with a stick and failed to treat a second dog’s ear injury.

RSPCA prosecution of Evan Bevan from Cwmann, near Lampeter, Wales, who was caught on camera beating a horse and a dog on separate occasions.

In videos provided anonymously to the RSPCA Bevan, director of Electech Electrics Limited trading as Electech Installations, was shown inflicting physical abuse on a pony known as Tony by kicking him, and beating a mastiff called Lily with a stick. He also failed to provide veterinary care for an ear injury suffered during a fight by German Shepherd Rosie.

Bevan, who was once a landlord for notorious breeders Andrew Bateman and Kelly Busby during the period they were churning out sick and dying puppies and selling them to unsuspecting buyers, pleaded not guilty to the cruelty charges but was convicted after a trial.

All of the offences took place at Bevan’s home address in Cwmann.

RSPCA deputy chief inspector (DCI) Gemma Cooper told the court she had attended the location seen in the videos with police officers and an animal health officer from Carmarthenshire Council. She recognised Evan Bevan as the male in the footage.

DCI Cooper said: “We asked if we could look at his dogs and he let out of a barn approximately 10 to 15 dogs who almost straight away started to fight amongst each other, one being bitten on her face and causing her to bleed,” she said.

“Evan Bevan stated it was all too much for him and he wasn’t going to breed anymore.

“I asked if he would like help with rehoming the dogs and he said that he only had two he wanted to rehome; a female bull mastiff called Lily and a female chocolate Labrador called Maggie.”

Bevan was asked where a German Shepherd dog called Rosie was and he said he had rehomed her with a rescue centre a couple of days earlier.

DCI Cooper later spoke with the rescue centre who confirmed that he had brought Rosie to them. She was suffering with an old injury to her right ear.

An independent expert veterinary report into the welfare of a group of dogs and a horse was provided to the court in which both videos were examined.

According to the vet, Bevan “kicks the pony with force to the left shoulder” in the first video clip.

The vet added: “The kick was forceful and clearly made contact with the pony that reacted adversely to the kick, indicating that the kick caused pain and hence suffering.” .

In relation to Rosie, who lost a significant portion of her right ear, it was said that “the injury will have caused the dog pain and suffering”.

She sustained the injury during the incident caught on the second video where Bevan was seen in a yard with a large group of dogs all off the lead and running freely around. He is seen swinging a stick in an attempt to hit the Jack Russell and ends up hitting another dog. A fight also erupts between the dogs.

The vet report states: “When Mr Bevan identifies what is going on he walks back across the yard and repeatedly hits the bull mastiff with his stick in an attempt to get the dog to loosen its hold of the German Shepherd dog.

“Mr Bevan persistently hits the dog before eventually getting hold of the mastiff and attempting to pull it free of the German Shepherd dog although he continues hitting at the dog with the stick.”

Bevan confirmed that Rosie’s ear injury occurred during the incident. He admitted that he did not seek veterinary attention but instead sprayed the ear with Engemycin spray.

Lily and Maggie, who were placed into RSPCA care, are now in loving new homes.

Rosie, who was in the care of another rescue, has also been rehomed.

Magistrates said they “did not find it necessary to make an order” to disqualify Bevan from keeping pets “after a long and careful consideration” because “the offences date back to 2022” and the number of animals in Bevan’s care “has significantly reduced” because he “is no longer breeding dogs or ponies.”

Magistrates ruled that “the risk to the future welfare of animals in the defendant’s care had significantly reduced.”

Sentencing | 12-week prison sentence, suspended for 24 months; 25-day rehabilitation requirement order; 200 hours of unpaid work; £1,000 in costs and a victim surcharge. No ban on keeping animals was imposed.

Bransholme, Kingston upon Hull: Keane Pyzer

May 15, 2024 misanthropic 2 Comments

CONVICTED (2024)| Keane Pyzer, born 25 March 2006, of Amberley Close, Bransholme, Hull HU7 – attacked a police dog and his handler with a shovel.

Hull teenager Keane Pyzer, who at 18 years already a long history of violence, attacked a police dog, his handler and a taxi driver.

Pyzer pleaded guilty to a string of offences including threatening a person with an offensive weapon in a public place, and actual bodily harm.

Pyzer had refused to pay for his taxi after being dropped off at an address in Bransholme.

John Bottomley, prosecuting, told the court that Pyzer came out of the house and attacked the cab with a shovel.

Armed police were called to the address and forced their way into the house.

A dog handler with his dog saw Pyzer at the top of the stairs, shouting and being abusive and still armed with the shovel.

“He threatened to kill the police dog, having seen it,” said Mr Bottomley.

Pyzer, still at the top of the stairs, was asked to be compliant and he was warned about what would happen if he was not. The police dog was sent up the stairs.

He then hit the police dog with the shovel.

The police officer tried to detain Pyzer but the teenager raised the shovel above his head and tried to swing it towards the policeman’s head.

The officer put his hands up but he suffered an cut on his arm and passed out because of the loss of blood.

Pyzer was eventually arrested.

The officer later said that the police dog was his “best mate” and that the dog could have been killed or seriously injured.

The dog suffered a bruise to his abdomen and had to be taken to a vets.

Pyzer had convictions for 14 previous offences, including two of assaulting an emergency worker and others of possessing an offensive weapon, affray and threatening behaviour, all from last year.

He also pleaded guilty to the use of threatening behaviour to cause distress, making off without making payment, and causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal.

Sentencing | two years and 11 months in a young offenders’ institution.

Southport, Merseyside: Matthew Daly

May 15, 2024 misanthropic 1 Comment

CONVICTED (2024) | Matthew Daly, born 24 May 1992, of Manchester Road, Southport PR9 9HG – left his pet cat in agony for two weeks, with nearly every bone in his paw broken – injury unexplained.

RSPCA prosecution of Matthew Daly of Southport, Merseyside, who left his cat in agony with unexplained multiple fractures in his paw.

The cat, Buddy, had broken four out of the five metacarpal bones on his front left paw and was battling a severe untreated flea allergy when he was found on the top floor of a flat on Manchester Road, Southport, in January 2023.

His owner, Matthew Daly, who’s originally from Feltham, West London, admitted two charges of causing unnecessary suffering and failing to meet Buddy’s needs following an RSPCA investigation.

South Sefton Magistrates Court heard how RSPCA inspector Anthony Joynes had gone to the property after concerns were raised about Buddy’s welfare.

He said: “I noted Buddy was underweight with his spine, ribs and pelvic bones easily palpable through the skin. He was also suffering with a skin condition and I saw that his fur was thinning down his back and rear legs. Scabs could be felt under the fur and live fleas were noted.

“Daly picked Buddy up and brought him over to me and I could see his front left paw was swollen. He said that he had been suffering with an ingrown nail.”

Daly agreed to sign over his pet, and Buddy was taken for immediate veterinary treatment, where x-rays revealed multiple fractures in his paw.

The vet said the deformed paw on the cat’s left front leg was consistent with having fractured metacarpal bones, and x-rays confirmed that four out of the five bones were broken. The fracture margins and the formation of new bone suggested the breaks were between 10 and 14 days old.

During interview, Daly said Buddy was an indoor cat who belonged to someone else, but admitted he was also responsible and helped to look after him on a daily basis. He said he didn’t think Buddy was in any pain and he would have sought treatment for him if he thought he was suffering.

Happily, Buddy went on to make a full recovery at the RSPCA’s Wirral and Chester Branch. Another cat owned by Daly was also signed over into RSPCA care, and the two were adopted together.

Speaking after the case, Inspector Joynes said: “Buddy was clearly in a suffering state and needed urgent veterinary attention. It is the legal responsibility of the owner or person responsible for their animals to look for symptoms of ill health or injury and seek prompt and appropriate veterinary care. I’m relieved that Buddy is now safe and living in a loving home.”

Sentencing | fined £162. Banned from keeping any animals for just two years (expires May 2026).

Chatham, Kent: Thabiso Giyo

May 15, 2024 misanthropic 2 Comments

CONVICTED (2024) | Thabiso Luzuko Giyo, born July 1994, currently of High Street, Chatham, but with links to Tottenham Hale, London, and Edinburgh in Scotland – for the systematic torture of a pug puppy.

RSPCA prosecution of evil sadistic dog abuser Thabiso Luzuko Giyo a South African national currently of Chatham, Kent but with links to Tottenham Hale, London, and Edinburgh in Scotland - who systematically tortured a pug puppy called Capri.

The tiny seven-month-old pug, called Capri, was discovered with severe burns to her face, mouth and tongue after Giyo doused her with boiling water. She had also suffered trauma to her head. In addition, X-rays showed that she had a fracture to her right leg and healed pelvic fractures from older injuries.

The puppy was first taken to a vets in Chatham with swelling to her head believed to have been caused by trauma. A few weeks later she was back at the vets, this time with burns and injuries to her face, mouth and tongue. The RSPCA was then alerted.

The vet said in a witness statement: “Capri presented with massive burns over her face and nek. Her tongue was swollen to three times its size and sloughing.

“The substance she had been burned with also affected her left eye”.

In a court statement RSPCA Inspector Kirsten Ormerod, who investigated for the animal charity, said Capri’s owner claimed to have left her in the care of flatmate Giyo for around four hours while she went out shopping.

Inspector Ormerod added: “She stated that on her return at 6:30pm Capri had a sore face.

“She stated Giyo had wiped Capri’s face with an exfoliating glove but quite quickly Capri’s face started to swell and she was struggling to breathe so she took Capri to the emergency vet.

“She had red, open wounds to her face, nose and around her mouth. Her tongue appeared very swollen and she was not able to close her mouth due to her swollen tongue.

“She was also audibly breathing loudly and appeared lame on her back right leg and was very reluctant to put weight on it.”

Capri’s owner told Inspector Ormerod she’d informed police and had asked Giyo to leave the property, but was able to provide a contact telephone number for him.

The vet’s witness statement added: “Nobody was willing to tell us what substance Capri had been burned with. [Giyo] said he gave her a bath and used an exfoliating glove on her which didn’t add up to the severity of the injuries she presented with.

“While she was under anaesthetic for an endoscopy, she was also x-rayed. The x-rays showed a fracture of the right [leg]. The x-rays also showed healed pelvic fractures from older injuries.”

Speaking about Capri’s first stint in hospital, the vet said: “She was really calm and relaxed around females but shrank away and trembled in the presence of a male vet.

“She was absolutely terrified of males in hospital to the point where only females could handle her without stressing her out.”

When a feeding tube was fitted to help the puppy, it was later suggested that the burns had been caused by boiling water.

Two weeks after she was first admitted, Capri began eating on her own and her injuries started to improve.

In January 2023, she had surgery for her leg fracture and was moved to an RSPCA rehoming centre to recover.

She was later adopted by one of the vet nurses who saved her life.

In court Giyo, an inspiring rapper who came to the UK from Pretoria in South Africa, pleaded guilty to two offences under the Animal Welfare Act.

Giyo, who according to his LinkedIn profile works in network support for internet service provider Trooli, told the court that Capri’s injuries had been caused accidentally and denied having intentionally harmed the puppy,

Sentencing | 22 weeks in prison, suspended for two years; £800 in costs and £154 victim surcharge. THREE-year ban on keeping any animals (expires May 2027).

Billingham, County Durham: Thomas Hardy

May 7, 2024 misanthropic 1 Comment

CONVICTED (2024) | Thomas Hardy, born 13 April 1992, of 48 Prior Court, Billingham TS23 3PL – for two counts of animal abuse involving blunt force trauma, physical violence and intimidatory behaviour towards two Cockapoos.

Prosecution of violent dog abuser Thomas Hardy from Billingham, County Durham.

Sickening CCTV footage from Prior Court, Billingham, captured Thomas Hardy inflicting a litany of abuse on two terrified dogs.

One clip showed Hardy repeatedly punching a tan-coloured Cockapoo in the head, before placing her in a stranglehold, compressing her chest between his legs and swinging her around by the neck.

Further footage showed the same dog cowering from Hardy and trying to run before he grabs her by the scruff and lifts her off the floor. He places his free hand around the dog’s throat and carries her swinging in front of him.

She is then thrown into a lift and collides with the back of it before Hardy kicks her under the chin and blocks the security camera.

In a third clip filmed 10 days later Hardy is seen with a brown male Cockapoo. The dog is initially wagging his tail as he follows Hardy. He is grabbed by the neck as the defendant violently puts a lead on him before being dropped to the floor and yanked off his front feet. His tail stops wagging and he is observed acting submissively.

An RSPCA inspector visited Hardy’s flat with police officers on August 2, 2023,. Due to animal welfare concerns, entry to the property was forced after there was no reply.

In written evidence to the court, the RSPCA inspector said: “Inside the property was a light brown Cockapoo type dog, she was very nervous and cowering down.

“The flat the dog was living in was very unkempt and smelt of excrement and had faeces littered around.

“The dog was seized by the police and placed into the care of the RSPCA and I put her in my vehicle.”

In written evidence to the court the vet who examined the female dog and viewed the CCTV footage, said: “The individual in the videos is clearly seen to hit, choke, kick and throw the tan cockapoo.

“There is no reason to treat any animal in this way. The dog will have suffered physical pain and in addition showed clear signs of emotional distress.”

The vet said Hardy had inflicted pain and fear on both dogs and they had suffered unnecessarily as a result.

Hardy pleaded guilty to the charges.

Speaking after the conclusion of the case, RSPCA Chief Inspector Mark Gent said: “The video footage of these dogs being abused by Hardy multiple times was very difficult to watch. It’s hard to understand how someone can treat animals with such contempt and cruelty, and we will never know, as the defendant refused to be interviewed about it. We’d sincerely like to thank the police and the security staff for their assistance in this case which has been upsetting for everyone involved.”

The female cockapoo was looked after at a private boarding facility on behalf of the RSPCA and has since been happily rehomed.

The offence was deemed serious enough to warrant a prison sentence. However, it was suspended given Hardy’s admission of guilt.

Sentencing | twelve-week custodial, suspended for 24 months, for each charge; thinking skills programme; £600 costs and £154 victim surcharge. Disqualified from dealing or participating in keeping any animals for 12 years.

Following Hardy’s conviction, the Daily Mail spoke with two of his neighbours with one telling the newspaper that the two dogs he attacked belonged to his boss.

The neighbour added that he had “never seen Thomas fight”.

A second neighbour said he was ‘shocked’ to hear about the case as Hardy is a good neighbour.

He said: ‘I didn’t hear anything about the attack but I knew that he had a dog at one point.

‘I’m shocked to hear about the attack. I know he has his problems and that he had his problems.

‘He is a little bit anti-authority.

‘But, when you meet him and you know him that isn’t the person I know.

‘He is a good neighbour. He doesn’t have loud parties and barely has anyone over.’

CONVICTED (2024) | drug addict Niall O’Kane, born 21 January 1987, of Altinure Road, Claudy, Londonderry BT47 4DG – punched a dog repeatedly, bit her then tried to strangle her during domestic violence incident.

Prosecution of Niall O'Kane from Claudy, County Londonderry, who attacked a dog during a domestic violence incident

Junkie O’Kane, who has a string of criminal convictions dating back 14 years, also attacked his sister in bed and set fire to her bedroom door while she was inside.

The court was told that on July 10, 2023, O’Kane returned to the home he shared with his mother and sister in a state of intoxication.

He asked his sister, who was in bed, if he could borrow her phone, but she refused.

O’Kane then became “violent, aggressive and threatening” and turned his attention to his sister’s dog,.

The court heard he “punched the dog a number of times, bit the dog and then grabbed it by the neck as if trying to strangle it”.

As his sister grappled with him to protect her pet, O’Kane “grabbed her by the back of the head and bit her on the cheek” before he staggered from the bedroom.

A short time later, the sister noticed flames at her door and rang some friends to come to her aid.

When they arrived at the property, O’Kane, who was slumped on the sofa, told them to “f*** off”.

They ignored him and extinguished the fire, which he had started by piling clothes against the door and setting them alight.

O’Kane was unfit to be interviewed by police until the following day. He said he recalled nothing of the previous evening because he had been on a drink and drug binge. He denied attacking the dog, however, and claimed to have a good relationship with his sister.

Ultimately O’Kane, who has links to Limavady, County Londonderry, admitted causing unnecessary suffering to an animal alongside assault, criminal damage and arson.

The court heard that Kane had amassed 51 previous convictions — half of them related to his drug habit.

Sentencing | one-year custodial of which half will be spent on licence. No mention of a ban on keeping animals.

Woodley, Greater Manchester: Richard Collier

May 4, 2024 misanthropic 1 Comment

CONVICTED (2024) | Richard Collier, born c. 1994, of Meadow Close, Woodley, Stockport SK6 1QZ – hurled a cat through the air and onto the floor, causing fatal injuries.

Prosecution of cat killer Richard Collier from Woodley, Stockport, Greater Manchester.

Angry after the family cat, Bella, hissed at him, Collier said he launched her upwards while she was in her bed with her landing on the floor. He then picked her up but Bella had a seizure and died in his arms.

In a basis of plea document Collier stated: “I was in the living room with my partner and children. Bella [the cat] was on the back of the sofa near my partner. She grabbed it and threw her to the floor and it ran into the soft cat tent.

“Bella hissed at me, I don’t know why but I threw it up into the air and she landed on the floor. I thought it would just get a shock. It had a seizure and died in my arms.”

Collier said he was ‘very upset and sorry’, claiming he didn’t mean to hurt the cat. He said he had been diagnosed with ‘intermittent explosive disorder’.

In a statement, his former partner described Collier’s behaviour as ‘disgusting’.

Reading her statement to the court, prosecutor Ewan Cooper said: “It’s not normal to behave in this way, it is not normal for kids to see that and they’ll be affected by it.

“It’s not normal to go from sitting as a family to killing an innocent cat by smacking it against the floor.”

Mitigating, Saul Komish said Collier ‘lost his temper’, adding: “He accepted that he lost his temper as the cat went inside and threw the cat bed up into the air causing it to have a seizure.

“It was the family cat, they had it for six years, he was close to the cat. He is clearly remorseful.”

Mr Komish said Collier had no intention of injuring the cat, but the consequences of his actions were ‘clearly foreseeable’. He added that he has had no contact with his partner or children since the attack.

“He would say it was not a deliberate attempt to cause injury, but it was a momentary lapse in judgement,” the solicitor added.

Sentencing | 12-week sentence, suspended for 12 months; 100 hours of unpaid work and 20 days of rehab; £239 court costs. No mention of a ban.

CONVICTED (2024) | Matthew Murray, born 6 March 1999, of Bentinck Place, Birkenhead CH41 4DR – caught on CCTV kicking and screaming at a small dog as she yelps in pain.

RSPCA prosecution of Matthew Murray from the Wirral, Merseyside, who was filmed brutally kicking a small bulldog

The footage shows Murray running towards a fence and kicking out at bulldog Bella with his left leg, before kicking her again with his other leg, causing her to yelp out in pain. He is then heard aggressively shouting, “get back in,” before forcefully kicking and swearing at her again.

Bella is seen running back towards the house away from Murray, before yelping out again once she’s inside.

The incident took place at Ashfield Crescent, Bromborough, on Boxing Day 2023 and the RSPCA was alerted.

In a written statement to the court Inspector Anthony Joynes said: “I attended the location and made enquiries with residents which resulted in me seeing some CCTV footage where a young male with long dark hair, wearing a black jacket, blue jeans and black trainers can be heard initially arguing angrily with another person before screaming and shouting angrily that a dog had escaped from the property.

“The dog appears scared and is seen running away from the male along a fence line. The man chases after the dog and then proceeds to violently kick the dog forcefully on at least two occasions. The dog can be heard yelping in response and further yelps can be heard shortly after the man re-enters the address after the dog.”

Following veterinary examination Bella was given pain relief for ongoing hip and spinal conditions which were found on the radiographs. She was then taken to a private boarding establishment to be cared for on behalf of the RSPCA while the investigation was carried out.

Murray, who is no stranger to Merseyside Police, pleaded guilty to animal cruelty, and said he had attacked Bella because he was “feeling stressed”.

Speaking after the conclusion of the case Inspector Joynes said: “Bella had run out of the house and into the street, which of course can be stressful and frustrating. But the violence, aggression and intimidating behaviour that followed was unacceptable, and this can be seen by Bella’s fearful response and her cries of pain.

“She is doing great in our care and will be looking for her new home very soon.”

Gravesend, North West Kent: Javel Pilgrim

April 19, 2024 misanthropic Leave a comment

CONVICTED (2024) | Javel Pilgrim, born 14 November 1999, of Saint Gregory’s Crescent, Gravesend, but with links to the Hackney and Barking areas of London – caught on camera abusing his pet dog.

RSPCA prosecution of violent dog abuser Javel Pilgrim, previously of Barking London and now Gravesend in Kent.

Pilgram, who according to his LinkedIn profile works as a “program development professional”, admitted the physical abuse and neglect of his pet dog, Tessa, in a case brought by the RSPCA.

The incident, which took place on January 25, 2023, saw Pilgrim, who at the time lived on Maybury Road, Barking, lift Tessa up before hurling her from height onto the ground.

A vet who viewed the video after it was reported to the RSPCA commented: “The person does not drop the dog by accident but throws it with intent and force enough to propel it a considerable distance from him.”

“The clip shows him positioning the dog behind him to enable him to throw the dog effectively. The energy required in my opinion and experience in handling dogs, was very large to throw the dog the distance seen, and the intent was to harm the dog.

“There is no sign … that the dog was trying to bite the person, or that the man was acting in self-defence. He is not seen attending to the dog immediately afterwards, suggesting that he failed to prevent further suffering by not checking for injuries.”

When RSPCA animal rescue officer Bryan Taylor visited Pilgrim, he discovered Tessa living in the garden. She was removed from the property with consent and taken for a veterinary examination on January 26, 2023.

The vet found her to be underweight at 15.9kg, scoring three out of nine on the body condition scale. She had sustained injuries, staining, and calluses on her lower limbs, as well as fractured teeth.

A vet stated: “This injury could have occurred when the owner threw her onto the ground- it is common for injuries to the carpus (wrist) to be caused by falling from a height. The graze on her carpus could have occurred at the same time.”

“The damage to Tessa’s teeth could also have occurred when she was thrown.

“We treated Tessa with a painkiller and a diet plan to help her gain weight.

“On February 2, her weight had increased to 16.7kg. Her cough resolved with this treatment and she is not showing any signs of lameness.”

“We also noted that while Tessa was very well behaved with female members of staff she showed signs of fear aggression (e.g. lunging when cornered) with some of our male staff members- suggesting that her previous mistreatment has made her fearful of men”.

Speaking about the case, RSPCA inspector Shahnaz Ahmad, who was in charge of the investigation for the animal welfare charity, commented: “Pilgrim inflicted appalling and totally unnecessary violence on Tessa. There is never an excuse for treating an animal in this way.”

Sentencing | 12-month community order, with 15 days of “rehabilitation”; £80 fine and £114 victim surcharge. Indefinite ban.
