CONVICTED (2016) | Bradley Michael Harris, born 4 September 1998, of South Back Lane, Bridlington YO16 4AL – stabbed a Patterdale terrier to death.
Harris, who has strong family links to Lincoln, pleaded guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to a black Patterdale terrier-type dog called McGregor by stabbing the dog with a knife in July 2016.
RSPCA inspector Geoff Edmond said: “This was a horrendous incident which caused the suffering and death of a dog and enormous distress to the dog’s owners.
“Harris was one of four people who were drunk and causing a disturbance in the communal hallway of a block of flats in Wellington Road in Bridlington, where two of them lived.
“The group were confronted by McGregor’s owners, a man and a woman who also lived there, about the noise they were making.
“The door to their home was kicked in and their two dogs escaped into the hallway.
“McGregor was stabbed twice by Harris. Veterinary evidence suggests he was held down when this happened. He managed to escape and was found a few minutes later, collapsed in a pool of blood under a table. He died from his injuries in the arms of one of his owners.”
Sentence: four months in jail; £125 victim surcharge. Disqualified from keeping animals for five years (expired December 2021).
