Worksop, Nottinghamshire: Daniel Taylor

March 7, 2024 misanthropic 4 Comments

CONVICTED (2023) | sadistic Daniel Taylor, born c. 1992, of 99 Shrewsbury Road, Manton, Worksop S89 2TX – tortured, killed and mutilated more than 100 deer, foxes, badgers and pigeons.

CPS prosecution of ultra-sadistic wildlife persecutor Daniel Taylor from Worksop, Nottinghamshire.

A police search of the home Daniel Taylor shares with company director wife Georgina Ruth Taylor, née Georgina Brigham, revealed over 100 graphic phone videos and images which showed him attacking, decapitating and encouraging his dogs to fight and kill wildlife.

Prosecutor Lucy Woodcock told the court: “In some videos he is seen dissecting the animals and ripping internal organs out”.

Officers also found 15 deer heads and 14 fox tails, as well as snares and weapons.

A blood-stained quad bike and lamping equipment were also recovered.

Police arrested Taylor, confiscated his phone and removed his dogs from the house as part of the investigation.

Officers were able to map the images and videos on his phone to specific locations.

PC Mark Holland, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “From this we were able to prove when and where most of the animals were killed and link this evidence in with several reports of poaching.

“We also received intelligence which helped establish Taylor was in areas at the relevant times.”

PC Ben Harrison said: “At the back of Taylor’s premises we found what was essentially a slaughterhouse for animals.

“Taylor clearly took pleasure out of his dogs torturing these animals.

“They were clearly being trained to get hold of these animals and rip them to shreds.

“The videos were gruesome and the sounds of the animals squealing in pain were horrible.

“In one particular video, while Taylor was filming one of these acts, he dropped his phone and it flipped over. He bent over to pick it up and it captured a full face shot of him. There was no question over who was doing the filming or who was the owner of these videos.”

The court heard Taylor had played a leading role in “sadistic behaviour” which was “prolonged and repeated” between August 2021 and February 2023.

Sentencing Taylor, Judge Mark Watson told him: “These offences cannot in any way be described as sport. This was a barbaric hobby of yours.

“This was planned activity by you and you clearly revelled in the suffering of these animals.

“You encouraged your dogs to attack these animals with ferocity and they suffered immeasurably.

“These were prolonged and repeated incidents of serious cruelty and examples of sadistic behaviour.”

Sentencing | jailed for two years and eight months. Banned from owning, keeping or participating in keeping dogs for at least seven years

Snape Wood, Nottingham: Leon Wilks

October 15, 2023 misanthropic 2 Comments

CONVICTED (2023) | Leon C Wilks, born c. 1981, of Dyce Close, Snape Wood, Bulwell, Nottingham NG6 7GD – allowed his three dogs to attack a cocker spaniel, causing catastrophic fatal injuries.

Nottingham man Leon Wilks allowed his 3 bull-breed dogs to attack a spaniel, killing him

Wilks pleaded guilty to three counts of being in charge of a dangerously out-of-control dog.

The three dogs were off their leads in Snape Wood Nature Reserve, near Bulwell, when they saw another dog on a walk with his owner on March 3, 2023.

The two Staffordshire crossbreeds and an XL Bully set upon the smaller cocker spaniel, who had to be put to sleep after suffering “catastrophic injuries”.

Following an investigation, Wilks was identified as the owner of the dogs and all three animals were seized.

He appeared at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on September 15, 2023, where a contingent destruction order was imposed on each dog.

All three must now wear a muzzle when outside and must be kept on a lead held by someone aged over 16 when they are taken on walks.

Any of the dogs seen to be breaching the court order will be seized and put down.

PC Conor Bullivant said: “This was a deeply distressing incident that left a dog with horrible injuries and resulted in its owners having to make the difficult decision to put their beloved pet to sleep to end its suffering.

“We hope that the order issued by the court helps provide the community with some reassurance going forward and sends out a strong reminder to all dog owners of their responsibilities to ensure the safety of other people and their animals.”

Sentencing | contingent destruction order on Wilks’ three dogs; £900 in compensation and fines

St Ann’s, Nottingham: Anthony Brown

October 15, 2023 misanthropic 1 Comment

CONVICTED (2023) | heroin street dealer Anthony Brown, born c. 1999, previously of London but now of Comyn Gardens, St Ann’s, Nottingham NG3 1NY – stole an XL Bully puppy to service a drug debt and threatened to stab a second dog.

Police mugshot of ultra violent dog thief and heroin street dealer Anthony Brown from Nottingham with links to London and South Normanton, Derby.

Alex Wolfson, prosecuting, said the victim’s sister had amassed a drug debt, which Brown, previously of Red Lane, South Normanton, Derbyshire, claimed was around £5,000. . He said on April 24, 2022, she was at her home with five children and her door was unlocked.

The prosecutor said: “At one point, shortly after 7pm, the defendant opened the door and walked into the living room and she heard him say ‘Oi’. She immediately said back ‘What’s up’ and he replied that she needed to ring her sister.

“She said ‘Why what’s happened?’ and he was pacing around and took a lock knife out of his pocket and opened it to show her the blade. She said ‘no, not in here please there are kids let’s walk outside’ and the defendant said ‘I will stab everyone up in here’.”

Mr Wolfson said at that point the victim’s dog started to bark and Brown said “I am going to stab the dog up” and was still pacing around. He said: “He went to a dog cage in the corner of the room and asked her if it was her puppy and she said it was.

“He took the dog and left with it saying she could have it back when her sister had paid him the money she owed him. At that point, she locked the door and phoned her dad.”

Mr Wolfson said a short time later, the father was at home and tried to ring the daughter who owed the money but was unsuccessful in getting through to her. He said the father’s phone then rang with a number he did not recognise and he answered it.

The prosecutor said: “The voice on the end of the phone said ‘I am a black lad, I’m from London and she owes me £5,000 and where I come from if we don’t get payment we go to the next family members’.

“The dad said ‘you have got the dog it’s worth £2,000’ and the defendant replied ‘if we don’t get paid in a week I will kill the dog’.”

Brown pleaded guilty to blackmail, possession of a bladed article and possession of cannabis from when he was arrested.

His criminal record stretches back to when he was a juvenile and includes two previous offences for carrying weapons, theft and possession with intent to supply drugs.

Steve Cobley, mitigating, said his client had been moved by his family from London to the East Midlands in an attempt to steer him away from criminality.

He said: “The incident was short-lived but it was nasty. His mother is elsewhere but his father continues to support him and he uses drugs to numb the pain of his past experiences.”

Jailing Brown for four years, Judge Martin Hurst said: “She was understandably absolutely terrified, not just for herself but the children, because a strange man she did not know simply walked into her house. You noticed the puppy in the corner and took it hostage.

“You threatened to firebomb the house and kill the dog you had stolen. You moved from London to get away from this kind of trouble but what you have seemed to do is bring it with you to Derbyshire.”

It’s not been reported if the stolen dog was recovered.

Middlesbrough / Knaresborough, North Yorkshire and Worksop, Notts: John Langan, Shane Hooton, Joe Foster, Dean Adams

CONVICTED (2023) | John Alan Langan, born June 1986, of 12 The Hawthorns Great Ayton, Middlesbrough TS9 6BA, Shane Hooton, born c 1992, of Thistle Hill Caravan Park, Thistle Hill, Knaresborough HG5 8LS and Joseph Foster, born 30 December 1987, of 78 Manton Crescent, Worksop S80 2RG and Dean Thomas Adams, born 27 November1995, of 7 Hebron Court, Stokesley, Middlesbrough TS9 5FD – for hare coursing offences.

Convicted for hare coursing: John Langan, Shane Hooton, Dean Adams, Joe Foster from North Yorkshire / East Midlands — Clockwise from top left: John Langan, Shane Hooton, Dean Adams, Joe Foster

Appearing in court on 9 October 2023 in relation to hare coursing charges were serial offender John Langan with his latest accomplices Shane Hooton and Joseph Foster. Dean Adams failed to appear in court and a warrant for his arrest was issued.

Langan, Hooton and Foster pleaded guilty to the offences of trespass and going equipped to trespass with intent to search for or pursue hares with dogs, under Section 63 and Section 64 Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022.

This was in relation to an incident on 23 December 2022 when four men were stopped by Rural Task Force Officer Rich Fussey as they came off private farmland in Leven in the East Riding of Yorkshire.

They were in possession of running dogs without any permissions to be on the land.

John Langan was sentenced to 12 weeks imprisonment, suspended for 12 months – the court felt the offence was so serious that a custodial sentence could be justified.

He was also given a ten-year Criminal Behaviour Order covering England and Wales with conditions around the control of dogs, not being on private farmland without permission and a complete ban on entering Humberside.

He was also fined £85 costs, £154 victim surcharge, disqualified from driving for 56 days and ordered to complete 80 hours of unpaid supervised work within the next 12 months.

Shane Hooton was sentenced to a £500 fine, £85 costs and £200 victim surcharge and given a three-year Criminal Behaviour Order covering the same conditions as Langan.

Joseph Foster was sentenced to a £500 fine, £85 costs and £200 victim surcharge.

CONVICTED (2023) | Reegan Smith, born 3 December 2004, of Dunstan Street, Netherfield, Nottingham but with links to the Gedling* and Sherwood areas of the city – kicked and hit a helpless pigeon with a tray while three women cheered him on.

Smith attacked the defenceless bird in a bike shed area off Winchester Street, Sherwood, on the evening of October 18, 2022.

The RSPCA was sent copies of three CCTV video clips taken of the cruel behaviour, which showed he was seemingly encouraged by three female onlookers.

RSPCA Chief Inspector Rebecca Lowe said: “The video clips show sickening violence being inflicted on the poor pigeon, involving not only the perpetrator but three female onlookers who seemed to be egging him on.

Nottingham thug Reegan Smith was filmed torturing a helpless pigeon while the three females pictured egged him on — Reegan Smith was filmed torturing a helpless pigeon while the three females pictured egged him on

“When we spoke to the person who had sent the CCTV footage to us, they told us that they had found the injured pigeon and moved it to a place of safety. We provided the clips to a local vet who reviewed the footage and he confirmed that trauma had been inflicted on the pigeon.”

The vet reported that the videos showed a “young male inflicting repeated trauma to the pigeon by kicking [it] numerous times”.

He continued: “It is self-evident that the male’s foot makes contact with the bird, and… the bird jumps and flutters and tries to escape from the male.

“It is clear that this young male knows what he is doing as he re-approaches the bird to see what the bird is doing …. It is evident that this young man is playing to an audience and he is being egged on.

“The young females appear to be filming the incident with no effort to prevent the man from inflicting any further punishment on this bird. He attempts to inflict further damage and pain to the bird, he used a further object (tray) to hit at the bird. In addition the young man appears to throw a small object towards the bird.

Smith pleaded guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to the pigeon and given a suspended sentence and short ban on keeping animals.

Sentencing | four-month suspended prison sentence; costs of £300 and a victim surcharge of £154; 15 days of rehabilitation. Three-year ban on keeping animals (expires August 2026).

CONVICTED (2023) | Owen Rippon, born c. 2004, of Woodville Road, Sherwood, Nottingham NG5 2JS – subjected a dog to a frenzied beating and tried to poison her with chocolate – all for social media likes.

Violent dog abuser Owen Rippon from Nottingham, UK.

Rippon uploaded two videos depicting horrifying animal abuse to the social media platform TikTok. The dog involved in both videos was a nine-year-old Staffy cross named Sasha.

Owen Rippon punched the elderly dog repeatedly after announcing that she gets the same treatment every day — Rippon punched the elderly dog repeatedly after announcing that she gets the same treatment every day

In the first video Rippon announces to his social media followers that “she gets this every day” before he punches the petrified dog at least 35 times as she cowers on the sofa.

A second video shows him feeding Sasha highly toxic chocolate cake, while gloating about the fact that he no longer wants her. The as yet unidentified accomplice filming the abuse is unconcerned at the horrors he is witnessing and does nothing to intervene.

Both acts took place in Nottingham at some point between 20 March and 4 April, 2023 – when a video of the incident was reported to Nottinghamshire Police.

The two videos were widely shared across all social media platforms in early April 2023, sparking a public outcry.

Rippon initially went into hiding for his own safety, but was soon arrested and charged with causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced on Tuesday 18 April 2023.

Various news outlets reported that Sasha, who belongs to a family in the Radford area of Nottingham, had been checked over by a vet and was assessed as “fit and well”.

Inspector Sharon Powar, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This video was particularly distressing, as it depicted a deliberate assault on a defenceless dog.

“Thankfully, Rippon’s actions didn’t cause severe lasting damage and the animal is now safe and well.

“We are pleased to see that measures have now been taken that will prevent him from ever owning or keeping an animal in the future.

“Nottinghamshire Police will not tolerate acts of animal cruelty and will always look to put anyone involved in this behaviour before the courts.

“Likewise, any acts of violence or threatening behaviour will never be tolerated in our communities and will also lead to anyone who acts in this manner getting themselves into trouble too.”

Sentencing | 26-week custodial suspended for two years; 31-day accredited programme, 10 rehabilitation activity days; £85 in costs and victim surcharge. Lifetime ban on owning animals.

Gringley on the Hill, Nottinghamshire: Bryan and Georgina Riley

June 21, 2022 misanthropic 3 Comments

CONVICTED (2022) | Bryan Riley, born c. 1946, and wife Georgina Riley, born c. 1951, both of Gringley on the Hill – kept eight neglected dogs in the back of a filthy van.

Four of the dogs rescued from the stinking van where they were kept by their cruel owners, the Rileys. Lola (top left) had to have her eye removed.

The Rileys were prosecuted by the RSPCA after failing to comply with an assessment notice in relation to their eight badly neglected dogs. When RSPCA inspector Daniel Bradshaw and a police officer attempted to apprehend the couple, they drove off in a transit van.

The dogs were eventually removed from the back of the foul-smelling van, which was strewn with faeces

Among them was a four-year-old French bulldog called Lola, whose eyeball was so badly infected it later had to be removed.

Another French bulldog named Hugo had thinning fur and scabs on his coat, as well as a weeping sore.

A third French bulldog, Libby, had open sores on her face. Her collar was fastened so tightly that her neck was reddened.

A dachshund called Iggy was suffering from extensive hair-loss and scabbing. A second dachshund, Lady, had thinning fur.

Two poodles – a mother and daughter named Angel and Coco – had dirty matted coats while a a third poodle Rosie’s coat was matted with faeces and urine.

Veterinary examination found that most of the dogs were in various states of malnutrition.

In his witness statement, RSPCA Inspector Daniel Bradshaw said: “Lola’s eyeball was hanging out and appeared to have a large scab that was oozing blood and pus and appeared to have faeces stuck to it. She had scabs and sores in her coat as well as a skin condition.”

The inspector said of the van: “There was such a strong smell of faeces, urine and ammonia that I struggled to put my head inside for more than two seconds.”

Bryan Riley pleaded guilty to two offences of causing unnecessary suffering; one of failing to provide veterinary care for three dogs who were suffering from skin disease and the other of failing to provide veterinary care for the injury to Lola’s eye. He also admitted a third offence of failing to ensure the needs of all eight dogs were met.

Georgina Riley pleaded guilty to one charge of failing to ensure the needs of the eight dogs were met.

In mitigation, the court was told that the defendants suffer from physical ill health and were left with a number of dogs they had struggled to cope with, and were keeping them in the van because their property had become a target for burglars.

Thankfully the dogs all recovered and have been rehomed by the RSPCA.

Speaking after the court hearing, Inspector Bradshaw said: “Lola’s eye was very infected and to leave a dog with her eye hanging out like that was unacceptable, as was leaving all the dogs in such a poor environment in the back of a van from which urine and faeces was just seeping out.”

Sentencing |
Bryan Riley: ordered to pay a fine, costs and surcharge totalling £1,225.
Georgina Riley: ordered to pay £684 in total.
Both were banned from keeping animals for eight years.

Mansfield, Nottinghamshire: Rachel Cawte and Carl Wright

November 26, 2021 misanthropic 18 Comments

CONVICTED (2021) | Rachel Cawte aka Rachel Stafford, born 17 May 1974, of Beechdale Road, Mansfield Woodhouse, Mansfield NG19 9GQ, and Carl Anthony Wright, born 7 May 1975, of Stockwell Court, Mansfield NG18 5QQ – for the cruel mistreatment of a cat that suffered a catalogue of serious injuries.

Animal abusers Rachel Cawte and Carl Wright.

Black and white cat Lily sustained multiple fractured bones and eventually had to be put down.

Prosecutor Andy Cash said Cawte told a vet that Lily was limping after jumping out of a window, less than a month after Rachel Cawte bought her, in September 2020.

X-rays revealed fractures in her leg and neck, but Cawte refused the vet’s recommendation that Lily be put down.

Lily suffered a series of injuries, the precise cause of which was not established, though Cawte claimed in court that Carl Wright was violent to the cat.

The cat began showing signs of improvement, but was returned to the surgery a month later with a fractured pelvis.

Cawte’s flatmate found Lily and thought she was dead, but Cawte told him “she was simply scared of men”, Mr Cash said.

He took the cat to the vet and on Christmas Day a further examination revealed multiple fractures to her mouth and face, abrasions and trauma, and Lily had to be euthanized.

Cawte later told an RSPCA inspector that, during an argument, Wright threw Lily across the room so hard she squealed in pain.

On another occasion, he claimed Lily got her head stuck in a reclining chair.

Sentencing:
Both Cawte and Wright were originally given 20 weeks in prison and banned from keeping pets for ten years. Cawte’s sentence was later reduced on appeal after the court accepted she was in a “domineering relationship” with Wright. The pair have apparently gone their separate ways. She was handed an eight-week prison sentence suspended for two years, and her ban on keeping animals was reduced to just two years (expires November 2023).

Clifton / Bobbers Mill, Nottingham: Jerome Lothian and Danielle O’Brien

July 17, 2021 misanthropic 5 Comments

#MostEvil | Jerome Anthony Lothian, born 1 December 1992, of Homewell Walk, Clifton, Nottingham NG11 8HA – battered a five-month-old puppy so hard she had to be put down, while girlfriend Danielle Toni O’Brien, born 24 November 1989, of Alfreton Road, Bobbers Mill, Nottingham NG7 5NU, allowed her to suffer.

Dog killers: Danielle O'Brien and Jerome Lothian from Nottingham — Danielle O’Brien and her dog-killing boyfriend, Jerome ‘Jay’ Lothian.

Lothian, who goes by Jay Lothian and has links to Croydon and Sydenham in London, left crossbreed bulldog pup Mula with multiple fractures to her leg, pelvis and spine during two months of horrific abuse.

A court heard how the thug tried to blame the injuries on the pooch falling from a sofa and a step before experts found she had suffered “severe blunt force trauma”.

Mula was barely able to stand due to the injuries inflicted by violent thug Jerome Lothian

Heartbreaking photos show little Mula barely able to stand with her leg in a bandage before she was put down by vets to end her suffering.

Lothian was found guilty of causing unnecessary suffering to the puppy and other animal welfare offences.

Lothian and his partner Danielle O’Brien were also found guilty of failing to provide vet care for the young puppy and allowing her to suffer.

The court heard the PDSA animal charity contacted the RSPCA following concerns that Mula had developed various injuries in the space of a few months – without a reasonable explanation.

The young pup had old fractures which had not been treated, plus a new fracture in her hind leg.

She was struggling to walk on her back legs and she was bleeding from her nostrils with wounds to her mouth and tongue.

Little Mula was put to sleep to end her suffering.

The vet felt the extent of Mula’s injuries, even with extensive treatment, meant that she would be left in chronic pain and felt the best option was to put her to sleep.

But police were called after O’Brien refused to allow Mula to be euthanised.

Dog killer: Jerome Lothian from Nottingham

While they were waiting for the police, RSPCA Inspector Helen Mead sat with the helpless puppy, the court heard.

She said the dog barely moved, but after some time Mula used her front legs to move herself forward for a tummy rub and rested her head in the officer’s hands.

During the police investigation, it was found that Mula had suffered a catalogue of horrific injuries in the lead up to her having to be put down.

Dog killer: Danielle O'Brien from Nottingham

Neither Lothian or O’Brien could give reasonable explanations as to how most of the injuries happened and there were a number of discrepancies between their stories, the court heard.

Vets concluded Mula was caused to suffer as a result of physical abuse while Lothian was responsible for her.

In a statement, one vet said: “A puppy of this age should not be seen with multiple fractures.

“Elbow fractures can be seen in bulldog breed puppies following minimal trauma. However multiple femoral fractures, and certainly a pelvic fracture, would require much greater trauma than the owner reported.

“I can only conclude that the fractures and injuries seen are as a result of trauma.”

Following the hearing, RSPCA Inspector Helen Mead said: “This young dog endured repeated abuse at the hands of Lothian.

“I wanted nothing more than for her to recover but sadly the extent of her injuries meant this was not possible.

“Being with her as she was put to sleep, I hope myself and the lovely team at the PDSA gave her some comfort in her final moments.

“This case of deliberate cruelty will stay with me for a very long time.”

Sentencing:
Lothian was jailed for 16 weeks; ordered to pay £2,000 costs and a £120 victim surcharge. Banned from keeping animals for life.

O’Brien was given a 12-month community order with 20 rehabilitation requirement days and a deprivation order relating to another dog she owns. Ordered to pay £2,000 costs and a £85 victim surcharge. She was not banned from owning animals.
