scum bag beats up staff

A MAN is facing jail after he was filmed pinning a dog against a wall by its throat and beating it `over and over again'.

Christopher Dunn, 21, was filmed by a web-cam on two consecutive days attacking the Staffordshire bull terrier named Truffles.

Tameside
magistrates were told he carried out the first attack because he was
`stressed out'; and the second because the dog took chicken bones from
the kitchen.

Both incidents, in June, were caught on camera by a neighbour who called police.

In
the first clip, Dunn, from Marple, Stockport, is heard shouting at the
dog as it whimpers in the back yard of a house in Denton.

He
then grabs it by the throat and bangs it against a wall and it falls to
the floor near a wheelie bin. He then rams the bin into the dog.

The
day after, the neighbour again heard Dunn screaming at the dog and
turned her web-cam towards the yard. This time, he was seen grabbing
the dog by the throat, punching it in the face and kneeing it in the
chest.

When a policeman went to the house and looked at
the dog, it appeared fine. But as the officer was leaving, the
neighbour called him and showed him the footage.

Dunn was
arrested for causing the dog unnecessary suffering and pleaded guilty
when he appeared in court. Mark Harper, prosecuting, said: "When the
vet first examined Truffles, there was no evidence of any injuries
caused.

"The dog was nervous when the vet tried to examine
her and it took a few moments of kind treatment and stroking before she
relaxed.

"The vet said in his statement that despite how
she had been treated, she was kind and trusting and he was amazed
having viewed the video."

Chris Squibbs, defending, said Dunn accepts the position he is in and had co-operated fully.

Magistrate
David Blundell said he was considering `all options' regarding
sentencing and asked for reports. The hearing was adjourned and Dunn
will be sentenced on January 16.

Speaking after the
hearing RSPCA inspector Paul Heaton said: "The neighbour saw what was
happening and reacted. Her quick thinking has enabled us to bring this
man to court.

"The footage shows Truffles kicked and beaten for no other reason than because she was there.

"The level of violence used against Truffles is shocking, particularly given that she hadn't `done' anything to provoke it."

wot a prat he is........

good to see the dog is fine and safe now.....
wee hope......

In this kind of position it kinda sucks that staffies r SO loyal to their owners

Man sucks for the dog some idoitc owner abussing it like whats the point in that

What a spineless arse, that dog will still probably show him loyalty even after the abuse he gave it. Lets hope Truffles gets fixed up with a new loving home.

poor staffy,good on the neighbour,how many would just turn a blind eye.
Did he get banned from keeping dogs?

Thats such a sad story! Poor Staffy At least the dickhead owner got cought before he killed the poor thing!

How vile that people do this to poor defensless animals. Well done to the neighbour for saving this poor girl from a lifetime of torment. It really saddens me

omg thats horendous wot a shitface, thank god for the neighbour if it wasnt for him the dog would of probaly died.
