⚠️ NORTHERN IRELAND - THIS CREATURE PUNCHED, STRANGLED AND THREW HIS 14‑WEEK‑OLD PUP
🚨JOSHUA BRADLEY, 21, DOAGH, BALLYCLARE, CO ANTRIM
In court, it was heard that Bradley from Doagh near #ballyclare punched the puppy in the face, strangled him and threw him across a room while shouting abuse. The pup “screeched” in pain during the attack.
Miraculously, the puppy was uninjured, and he is now being cared for by Bradley’s former partner.
The incident, which took place in March 2024, was captured on video and shown in court. The judge described Bradley’s actions as “quite appalling” and warned that this level of cruelty is a red flag for future violence.
Bradley received a six‑month prison sentence, suspended for three years, and was banned from keeping animals for FIVE years.
💔 This case shows again how lightly animal cruelty is punished — and how many offenders walk free despite violent acts against defenceless animals.
