#MostEvil |Christopher Edward Bound, born 17/12/1993, of Rothley Drive, Bicton Heath, Shrewsbury SY3 5BB – subjected a two-year-old pug to a prolonged violent beating, eventually killing her
Cocaine user Bound punched, kicked and threw the black pug named Shelby against a wall as she screeched in pain, before police arrived and found him with his T-shirt covered in blood.
Neighbours alerted police immediately after hearing and witnessing the beating on February 24, 2019.
Bound, who is originally from Newtown in Shropshire, admitted causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal.
Kate Price, prosecuting, told Telford Magistrates Court: “At around 10.30pm to 10.45pm the neighbour heard a loud screeching sound and the defendant shout ‘get back in your bed’.
“They looked out of the window and saw him kicking something. Every time he kicked there was a screeching sound.
“The neighbour went back into their house and the defendant carried on hurting the dog. They continued to watch and he saw him throw the dog at the patio door.
“Then he picked it up and threw it against a wall. Bound kicked it a few more times before washing his hands. The neighbour was too distressed to carry on watching and called police.”
Bound was then seen taking his top off and continued to kick and punch the dog. “The screeching was getting quieter and quieter each time,” added Mrs Price. “Officers arrived and saw the blood on his T-shirt and found the dog in its bed. They established it had severe injuries.”
Shelby was taken to a vet for an emergency appointment, but could not be saved and died from internal bleeding.
Defence agent Adrian Roberts said: “He had a normal life until his brother died of cancer in 2013. Before that happened he was a reasonably successful sportsman, playing for local rugby and cricket teams in Newport, and he had a good job with Laura Ashley.
“He turned to cocaine to numb his feelings.”
Mr Roberts described Bound’s girlfriend, who was in court with his father, as a “stable influence”, and added that Bound had suffered with depression and anxiety.
“Clearly he’s a man who needs help,” he said.
After the case, Simon Paulo from the Crown Prosecution Service said: “As a nation of dog lovers this was a sad case to prosecute.
“Domestic animals are protected in England and Wales. Owners have a responsibility towards the welfare of their pets.
“I would like to commend the neighbours for calling the police when they witnessed this brutality taking place. I urge anyone who may witness any form of animal cruelty to report it as a criminal offence so that justice can be served.”
Sentencing: 12 weeks’ imprisonment, suspended for 12 months; 35 rehabilitation days. Costs and charges totalling £1,200. Banned from owning animals for life.
Cruel piece of shit – take a bigger quantity of coke you scumbag and have an agonising death just like the poor puppy you beat and killed
Absolutely.. Hope he overdoses and suffers agony in the gutter.
I’m not a violent person but my blood boils with anger and sadness what that poor little puppy must have suffered at the hands of this evil bastard. The sentence does not
justify what he did the law needs to be changed now. I hope someone does the same to him
Shame it was not you that died of Cancer instead of your brother evil vile low life scum take a over dose of drugs and do every one a favour you don t deserve to breath the air we do
He kills an innocent pet dog because….he’s depressed about his dead brother? You what? Surely if you were depressed you’d find comfort from a pet? What an absolute waste of skin this despicable, evil cunt is. Fucking overdose next time you druggy shithead. Never, EVER trust a druggy. And the fact that his skank of a girlfriend supported him in court says a lot about her too!
She must be one sick minded desperate hag
Well I hope she’s the next one to receive a kicking from him – maybe then he will be locked up
That’s some excuse to use HIS BROTHER DIED OF CANCER IN 2013 !!!!!
You SAD PIECES OF SHIT using that as an excuse. Where was she when it was happening (out of curiosity), standing by him you sad sad bastards you deserve each Other!!!
Where’s the other wee pugg ???
Neighbours must be as bad for standing watching the poor dog being beaten. Why not report straight away? Well let’s hope someone does same to that bastard as he did to that poor defenceless dog.
