CONVICTED (2019) | Peter James Mongan, born 24 May 1996, of Maureen Avenue, Londonderry BT48 6TE- sent his former partner videos of him threatening their dog and kicking him repeatedly.
Peter Mongan, who is from a notorious family of travellers, admitted causing unnecessary suffering to the dog called Bobby.
The court heard that Mongan sent the woman texts threatening to hurt their dog unless she came to his flat and spent the night there, which she did not want to do.
In some of the texts, he explicitly stated he would hurt the dog unless she replied to his messages.
The woman was also sent two videos of Mongan kicking the dog and he could be heard saying, “Can you see this?”
Mongan, who has 54 previous convictions, also admitted harassing his girlfriend and sending her a mobile phone message with the intention of causing her anxiety.
The offences took place on 29 May, 2019.
Footage of the attack on the dog was shown to deputy district judge Laura Ievers prior to sentencing.
Defence barrister Eoghan Devlin said Mongan accepted that custody was inevitable.
“They are ugly offences and there is no getting away from that”, he said.
Sentencing | seven months in prison. Disqualified from owning any animal for five years (expires July 2024).
