CONVICTED (2015) | serial wildlife criminals Andrew Fenton, born 8 March 1985, of Westway, Barrow-in-Furness LA13 0DY, and Dean Quirk (aka Dean Powell), born 17 October 1988, of Sikemeadow, Barrow-in-Furness LA14 4DZ
Fenton and Quirk are responsible for the cruel dog-baiting of dozens of rabbits, hares and foxes and possibly also badgers and deer.
On New Year’s Day 2014 the sadistic pair went one step further when they goaded their three dogs into attacking a sheep as she lay helpless on the ground.
Vile Fenton was also convicted of a separate charge in relation to a cat that was torn apart by his dogs while he watched and shouted out encouragement.
The pair filmed both incidents, presumably to share with their equally ghoulish circle of redneck friends – some of whom were present during the sheep attack but have never been brought to justice.
This video evidence was seized by police and the RSPCA and produced in court.
Both men were represented in court by idiotic but imaginative defence solicitor Karen Templeton of Forresters who portrayed each of them as remorseful, “traumatised” and even “embarrassed” about their actions. Fenton, she said, was a hard-working, single father, while Quirk was a man of good character who loved dogs and had organised four dog shows.
Sentencing | In May 2015 Quirk was sent to prison for 12 weeks for the attack on the sheep. He was banned from keeping animals for 10 years (expires May 2025). Fenton was jailed for 26 weeks in November 2014. He was given a 20-year ban.

They wouldn’t have the energy to go out Lamping or Hunting or whatever else the scum have been up to before they were caught.
What Sad Lives these scum have.
