wymberley Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Just watched the local ITV news. 20 weeks and probably out in half that. What the hell were they doing in the magistrates', should have been the crown court? Link? - just Google ITV westcountry news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyska Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 What a roundabout on here, he wouldn't of been prosecuted if it wasn't for the RSPCA. Magistrates are the first tier, they are advised or governed by the recorder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieT Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 I believe that wildlife offenses are summary offenses and as such cannot be referred to the Crown Court and are therefore dealt with by the Magistrates Court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royboy Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 What a scumbag, no animal deserves to be treated like that, it really saddens me to think people enjoy causing pain. I know I kill things but I do it as fast and humanly as possible 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wymberley Posted December 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Why do these people get less time than the girl with the sawnoff under the cot. Following a petition, they're looking at making attacks on/injuries to police dogs/horses the same as that for policemen/women. Perhaps they should extend this to include a review of the available penalties for all animal cruelty. When you think about it, these morons are indirectly responsible to the current badger bTB/numbers explosion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digger Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Surely an easy target for the balaclava wearing anti every blood sport rent a mob ? Sadly the scum don't go after scum. HLS ? mob handed. Convicted animal abuser ? err, no. He may hit back. Where's the outcry from PETA, The west country sabs etc ? He will go back to it, his sentence was a mere slap on the wrist.
