#MostEvil | Laurence Michael Skelson, born 17 February 1954, formerly of Faygate Close, Bexhill-on-Sea and as of March 2022 of Rylstone Road, Eastbourne BN22 7HN – filmed battering his friend’s bulldog with a plank of wood, mop and shovel as the dog cowered in fear
Skelson used wood, a mop and a shovel to whack and intimidate adorable Boston, whom he was looking after for a friend.
A horrified neighbour filmed Skelson holding a mop and a plank of wood high above the bulldog before jabbing and hitting Boston, who was cowering on the floor.
Skelson pleaded guilty to failing to meet the needs of the American bulldog by not ensuring his need to exhibit normal behaviour patterns by the use of inappropriate chastisement methods.
Thankfully Boston did not suffer any lasting physical injuries and is now in the care of his owner.
Sentencing:
Total of £470 fines, costs and charges. Banned from keeping dogs for life.
This man is an absolute disgraceful man and should have been punished more severely! Animal abusers need harsher punishment. We need to do more to protect them.
People like that piece of trash should be made to work in kennels six days a week 7am till 8pm cleaning out all the dogs mess, then wash all the animals bedding. This should be for 1year with no time off, if he doesn’t turn up even one day he is put in jail for that ONE YEAR.
It’s time the legal system in this country regarding “Animal Cruelty “ is brought forward, too many people get off with a talking to by some judges who need to consider the animals more and hand out more severe sentences, this is 2022 not 1822.
He’s hiding at number 7 Faygate close and still has dogs there
