CONTAINS SENSITIVE IMAGE ⚠️
🚨 CONVICTED | Billy Woodhouse, 27, owner of Hatton Boarding Kennels, Shropshire TF11 – allowed multiple rescue dogs in his care to die from starvation while severely neglecting others.
In January 2026 Billy Woodhouse was arrested after a police raid of his boarding kennels uncovered a burial mound containing the emaciated remains of nine dogs. Investigations revealed the causes of death were tied to severe neglect and starvation.
Surviving dogs were removed from the site by a dog warden and a local animal rescue charity.
Woodhouse had previously had his operating license suspended by Shropshire Council in Dec 2022 due to concerns about licensing conditions.
According to various social media reports, several Romanian rescue dogs staying at the kennels had either died or gone missing in the months leading up to this event.
Despite no longer being licensed to operate a boarding kennels, Woodhouse continued to take bookings.
Then, in Aug 2024, the council’s licensing department received a complaint from the owner of a dog named Stewie, who was put down following a stay at the kennels.
In police statements the owner said she had learned about the kennels from adverts online which said the business was licensed.
The woman said that when she collected Stewie Woodhouse handed the animal over wrapped in a towel with only his face visible.
Woodhouse told her Stewie, who was around seven or eight years old, had been unwell for a few days, but that he had not taken him to a vet.
The owner took Stewie to her own vet where he had been seen one month earlier and assessed as healthy. But now he was found to have a flat injury on his face, scabs on his tail, abscesses on both hind legs and yellow staining to his white fur. He was put down soon after.
“He had lost a lot of weight,” the owner said. “I could see his bones. He wouldn’t lift his head. He wasn’t breathing properly, he was very subdued.”
The vet said Stewie’s pressure wounds were “consistent with laying in one position for 24hrs”.
Woodhouse was prosecuted for animal welfare and fraud in early 2025 and pleaded not guilty.
But in Nov 2025, while he was awaiting trial, another woman whose pet had died at the kennels contacted authorities.
The woman said she paid £96 to leave her dog, Enzo, at Hatton Boarding Kennels in Aug '25, but days later he died there.
In late 2025, Woodhouse had taken in 11 dogs belonging to a woman who was suffering severe mental health issues and was unable to look after them herself. Some of the animals had been rescued from abroad.
In Jan 2026 a social worker became concerned the woman was at risk of being exploited financially, and made several attempts to contact Woodhouse.
On Jan 14 she called West Mercia Police.
The following day officers entered Hatton Boarding Kennels where a sniffer dog discovered a makeshift burial area. Police exhumed the bodies of nine dead dogs., believed to be the vulnerable womans.
3 cats, who were alive, were also found and taken to a rescue.
Surviving animals returned to their owners were found severely emaciated (some losing up to a third of their body weight), dirty, dehydrated, and suffering from untreated injuries and abscesses.
Woodhouse later admitted to animal welfare offences, fraud, and operating without a license after subsequent inspections.
Mitigating for Woodhouse, Martin McNamara said his client had taken on running the business after the death of his mother and had “good intentions” but “became overwhelmed”.
He said that his client had “significant mental health issues” and was “not capable of running the kennels”.
The kennel is no longer permitted to operate or take animal bookings of any kind.
Sentencing | 12-month prison sentence, suspended for 12 months; ordered to pay £1,000 towards court costs and a £187 victim surcharge. He is legally disqualified from keeping or owning animals for a decade but can appeal after five years.

🚨 VILE DOG ABUSER LIVING IN GLASGOW 🏴
Share his face far and wide!
This man is Craig Nicholls, originally from Dover but living in Glasgow and he also has links to many other areas across Kent.
Back in May 2025, he was caught on camera carrying out a sickening attack on his black Labrador, Juke.
The footage shows him violently slamming the dog against a wall, then hitting and kicking him so hard that Juke was thrown against a door frame, spun around, and crashed his jaw heavily onto the floor.
Police Scotland were alerted and passed the case to the Scottish SPCA.
When Inspector Cannon attended, watched the footage and met Juke, it was clear the dog was absolutely terrified of Nicholls – he had suffered terrible physical harm and deep mental trauma.
When officers tried to take Juke to safety, Nicholls became aggressive. He later chose not to appeal the official notice ordering him to hand the dog over, so Juke was signed fully to the Scottish SPCA.
With time, care and patience, he has now happily settled into a loving forever home.
Inspector Cannon said: “It was heartbreaking to see how terrified this poor dog was. No animal should ever have to endure such brutality.
Removing him was the only way to stop more harm being done.
He was fined £470 and banned from owning, keeping or working with any animals for 4 years, until July 2030.

🚨 NHS RADIOGRAPHER AVOIDS JAIL AFTER POSSESSING 7000 CHILD ABUSE IMAGES (MANY CAT A, THE WORST IMAGINABLE)
🚨 GORDON TRUONG, 40
🌍 MIDLOTHIAN 🏴
AN NHS radiographer who was arrested at the hospital he worked at after being caught possessing a horror haul of 7000 child abuse images has avoided a jail sentence.
Gordon Truong was taken into custody after police officers went to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh in relation to an investigation into the medic accessing the images.
Truong, 40, was subsequently found to have downloaded more than 7,000 still pictures and videos depicting the sexual abuse of female children between 10 and 15-years-old.
Edinburgh Sheriff Court was told the shamed healthcare professional had accessed hundreds of images categorised at Category A – the most depraved end of the spectrum.
Radiographers work alongside doctors and are responsible for producing high-quality diagnostic X-Ray images that aid in the diagnosis of various conditions and illnesses.
Truong pleaded guilty to charges of making or taking, and possessing indecent images of children over a near five year period when he appeared at the capital’s sheriff court earlier this year.
He returned to the dock for sentencing on Wednesday when defence agent, Mark Harrower, said he had “a long career with the NHS and performed to a high standard”.
Sheriff Kenneth Campbell, KC, said: “All offences of this kind are serious and they are not offences without victims even that might not initially seem so.
“While this is a matter where the court is entitled to impose a custodial sentence I am going to make a community payback order for a period of 18 months.”
Truong was placed on an 18 month supervision order and told he must carry out 200 hours of unpaid work.
He was also ordered to attend sessions with the sexual offenders rehabilitation scheme CISSO and had his name added to the sex offenders register for 18 months.
The sheriff also imposed a conduct requirement where Truong will have to adhere to computer and internet restrictions and is banned from having contact with anyone under the age of 18.
Following the hearing the disgraced former NHS employee left the court building wearing a surgical mask, dark glasses and a baseball cap in an effort to disguise himself.
Previously the court heard police received intelligence a child abuse image had been uploaded to the internet and a warrant was granted to search Truong’s family home in Bonnyrigg, Midlothian.
Prosecutor Corey Laouadi said officers were allowed entry to the four-bedroom property and a laptop was seized during the raid on February 5 last year.
Mr Laouadi said: “Following further investigations by the police it was established that Mr Truong was employed by NHS Scotland at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
“On February 7, 2025, detective constables attended the royal infirmary where they traced Mr Truong and he was made aware of the police enquiry and he was subsequently arrested.”
The court was told three devices – a mobile phone, a laptop and a hard drive – belonging to Truong were examined during the investigation and thousands of abuse images were discovered.
Mr Laouadi said a total of 7,110 depraved pictures and 25 videos were found across all the devices including 444 at Category A – the most explicit end of the spectrum.
The court heard the material depicted female children aged between 10 and 15 years old involved in sexual posing and penetrative sexual activity.
Following his arrest Truong was suspended from his position within the NHS and later resigned.
After leaving his employment Truong set up a home removal and household and garden equipment repair business called J Home Services Ltd.
Truong pleaded guilty to charges of taking or making, and possessing indecent photographs of children at his home and Edinburgh Royal Infirmary between October 23, 2020 and February 7 last year.

🚨 VILE PÀEDOPHILE AWAITS SENTENCE
A Moray sex offender has been found with 302 hours of child sexual abuse videos and more than 40,000 indecent images of children aged as young as one years old.
Mark Whitton told police “everything is over for me” when they executed a warrant at his home address in Elgin on October 2, 2025.
The 56-year-old peadophile, who had material with infants as young as one-year-old, told officers that he had three hard drives which contained images of children.
Inverness Sheriff Court heard that one laptop and three hard drives were seized from his address.
Fiscal depute Emily Hood told Sheriff Ian Cruickshank that on the laptop there were 152 inaccessible images, alongside AI generated images. These were of boys and girls between one and 14 years of age.
The images featured children engaging in sexual activity with adults and other children.
There was also videos “of women engaging in sexual activity with animals, mostly dogs”.
And another further 142 videos of extreme pornography available, which again featured adults engaging in sexual activity with animals.
In total Whitton had 41,077 images of child sex abuse and 2316 videos.
The runtime of the videos equated to more than 302 hours — over 12 days worth.
He had a total of 418 images of extreme pornography and 985 videos, totalling a run time of more than 511 hours — over 21 days worth.
Whitton, formerly of Land Street, Elgin, pleaded guilty to taking or permitting to be taken or making indecent images of children.
He also admitted being in possession of indecent images of children. The offences took place over nearly five years, between November 21, 2019, and October 2, 2025.
He also pleaded guilty to being in possession of extreme pornographic images depicting, in an explicit and realistic way, bestiality.
Sheriff Cruickshank remanded Whitton in custody, and deferred sentencing until August 18 for background reports to be completed.

Disgusting.
Four men ambush a construction worker in Birmingham, beat him with metal poles until his legs and arm are broken, then get stopped by armed police with a loaded handgun (11 rounds), five swords, and a whole arsenal in the car.
They get 6-7 years.
This is what happens when you import third world gang culture into Britain and then hand out soft sentences like participation trophies.
The victim suffers for life while the thugs get a slap on the wrist.
Britain’s justice system is cooked. Protect your people and stop the invasion.

🔴 (Alleged) Animal Abuser at Large
🔴 | Charlie Righton from #truro, #cornwall - repeatedly smashed a seagull against a wall after the bird attempted to steal food.
Initial reports suggested that the man identified by multiple local community members as "pro-hunt" Charlie Righton beat the seagull to death. Miraculously, it's since been reported that the protected bird survived after being taken to a vet by a kind member of the public.
The incident took place on 13 July near the Harbour View Cafe in #porthleven TR13 9JS.
Eyewitness accounts shared across local Facebook groups and wildlife advocacy pages claim that Righton repeatedly smashed the seagull against a wall. He then reportedly threw the bird over a fence onto the road with broken wings.
The incident occurred in broad daylight in front of numerous onlookers.
In the UK, all species of gulls are fully protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.

This is MMA fighter Sean McInnes. When Anne Marie Boyle asked him to leave her alone, he punched her in the face so hard that he broke her cheekbone and her eye socket, knocked her unconscious, and left her with a life-altering brain injury.
He was given less than two years behind bars.
It would be a real shame if this post was widely circulated and impacted his career in a negative way.
🚨 CONVICTED | Conor Stuart Nicholls, aged 34, most recently of Dunrobin Street, #parkhead, #glasgow – battered his pet dog.
In May 2025 Nicholls, who is originally from #dover, Kent, was filmed subjecting a black Labrador named Juke to a vicious beating. The attack was caught on camera and Police Scotland were alerted. They then reported the matter to the Scottish SPCA.
Inspector Cannon attended the locus and viewed footage in which Nicholls was captured slamming Juke against the wall. The brute then struck the petrified pet off a door frame with force, causing him to spin and hit his jaw hard off the floor.
Juke was subsequently seized from Nicholls, who reacted aggressively. The dog was visibly terrified of his owner and it was evident that he had suffered both physically and mentally.
Inspector Cannon said: “It was heartbreaking to witness this poor dog be in such extreme fear and distress. No animal deserves such brutal treatment. Removing Juke was the only way to guarantee his safety and prevent any further physical harm.”
Juke was eventually signed over to the Scottish SPCA after Nicholls failed to appeal the Decision Notice issued to him by Inspector Cannon. He has since found his forever home.
Inspector Cannon added: “We are pleased with the Sheriff’s decision. Juke was the victim of a brutal attack. Nicholls’ behaviour was unacceptable, and caused his dog unnecessary pain, fear and distress. No animal should be subjected to such abuse, and this sentencing sends a clear message that animal cruelty and neglect will not be tolerated in Scotland.”
Sentencing | fined £470. FOUR-year ban on owning or keeping animals.

🚨 CONVICTED | backyard breeder, drug dealer and woman beater Alan Crawford, 29, from #rhyl, North Wales LL18 – caused the death of the dog pictured through starvation and neglect.
On an unknown date Crawford, who goes by the nickname ‘Spud Crawford’, was handed a suspended 26-week prison sentence for causing unnecessary suffering to a dog called Pablo. The charges were that he failed to provide the dog with a suitable diet and failed to protect him from pain, suffering, injury, or disease.
The dog did not survive.
Crawford then breached his suspended sentence by committing further crimes.
He pleaded guilty to assault by beating against a woman, believed to be his own mother, and two counts of possession of Class A drugs (cocaine and cannabis).
The court activated his original 26-week animal cruelty sentence and added 10 consecutive weeks for the new offences, resulting in a total jail term of 36 weeks. He has been banned from owning animals but the duration of this isn’t known.

Help Find This Scumbag!
This man brutally and repeatedly smashed a Seagull against the wall of the Harbour View Cafe in Truro because it tried to steal some food. He then stuffed the Seagull through the fence onto the road where if floundered with two broken wings.
This was in front of numerous people and children who were hugely upset.
Two beautiful Red Setters were left shut in a hot car on Saturday the hottest day of the heatwave while their owners went and played golf.
They died in there.
According to reports, police said they’d issue a statement… and then went quiet. Now people are worried nothing will happen.
Let that sink in.
Two living, breathing dogs probably trusting their humans right up until the end suffered and died because someone decided a round of golf mattered more than their lives.
We all know how fast a car turns into an oven in July. We’ve all seen the warnings. There is no excuse.
These weren’t “mistakes.” This was a choice.
If the police and RSPCA don’t follow through with proper action here, what message does that send? That our dogs’ lives are disposable when it’s inconvenient for us?
I’m angry. I’m heartbroken for those dogs. And I’m tired of seeing this happen every summer with barely a slap on the wrist.
Some people shouldn’t own a budgie, let alone dogs.
What sort of moron leaves two animals locked in a car on one of the hottest days of the year? Those poor dogs didn’t just die they suffered and baked to death.
It’s cruel, it’s utterly irresponsible, and there is simply no excuse for it.
What do you think should happen to the owners?
I certainly think there should be servers consequences including imprisonment.
🚨 BREAKING: THE £38 BILLION LABOUR TAX RAID HAS JUST LEAKED.
Good morning to the millions of everyday, hardworking Brits waking up this Monday morning to an absolute financial slaughter.
Andy Burnham is preparing to launch a massive, unprecedented £38 billion tax raid the second he takes the keys to Number 10 this Friday. 🤡
This brings Labour's total tax grab to a staggering £104 billion every single year when combined with Rachel Reeves's previous business raids.
Reform UK has just exposed his planned torrent of new taxes that were completely hidden from the manifesto.
He is preparing to slap a 10% death tax on family homes, align capital gains tax with income tax, and hit landlords with National Insurance to drive up your rents.
He is even lowering the mansion tax threshold to just £1.5 million to drag ordinary middle-class homeowners into higher rates.
They are treating the British public like a bottomless ATM to fund their out-of-control, socialist spending spree.
If Burnham has the audacity to impose £38 billion of brand-new, undemocratic taxes on your family, he has absolutely zero mandate to govern.
We do not want a backroom coronation. We want a vote.
RT if you demand an immediate General Election to stop this robbery and take our country back! 🔁🇬🇧🔥
Synochok the bear had to live in a cramped metal cage of just 4 square meters for nearly 9 years. He was forced to perform circus tricks, constantly transported from place to place in a vehicle, and completely deprived of his freedom. 💔

NEW🚨: Chris Bryant (Rhondda Labour MP Labour MP, now a minister)
Failed to declare claimed expenses of £35,350 in 2012/13 and 2013/14 to rent a London flat - despite already owning a penthouse in London.
He bought the property in 2005, claiming around £1,000 a month in mortgage claims. But when the rules changed he let it out. Estate agent brochures show the two-bed apartment with a private lift and porter has since been marketed for rent for around £3,000 a month.
He was also failed to declare in an overseas visit on Poland. in 2021, he had to make a late registration (nearly two years after the event) for an overseas visit to Poland in 2019.
He was investigated by the parliamentary commission but had to give an apology for his actions.
As former chair of the Commons Standards Committee, he has been vocal about transparency rules for others
He also took a photo in his boxes and it was leaked by Guido Fawkes causing another scandal for him.
This old image has circulated online for years but is low-resolution, dated, and not something easily or appropriately hosted in modern search results (many archives avoid it due to context). Recent image searches mostly return his official portraits or unrelated photos instead.
🚨 CONVICTED | Gary and Eden Hopkins, née Eden Edwards, most recently of Kirkmuirhill, near #larkhall. Lanarkshire ML11 – operated a horrific illegal dog boarding business from their home.
A Scottish SPCA inspector attended the Hopkins’ address in July 2025 after being contacted by the owner of a 12-year-old lurcher named Monty.
The elderly pet had been returned to the woman in a state of distress, with huge open sores on his legs, and saturated in urine. Veterinary examination showed Monty’s hocks had infected wounds and been drastically swollen for several days.
Inside the couple's home, the inspector discovered seven dogs kept in cramped, broken, and stacked cages with no bedding or access to water. The room was extremely warm and the dogs were panting heavily.
The inspector said: “I was absolutely shocked at what we saw and the conditions they we kept in. The dogs were petrified and cowering away. They had tried to cram as many dogs as possible into each cage.
“One cage had a doberman and a collie so badly confined their legs were tightly intertwined and they couldn’t move at all. The base of their cage was wet and sticky, and they had no access to water.
“Stacked on top, was another small cage containing a Staffordshire bull terrier. The dog’s head, nose and tail were touching the bars on all sides, he had no space to stand and turn.
“Another cage held four dogs. The environment was completely unsuitable, and it was horrific to see.”
When released from their cages, the pets were frantic. They passed copious amount of urine, indicating that they had been confined to cages for hours.
The dogs were seized and taken to a Scottish SPCA centre .
All were scanned for microchips, and six were returned to their owners. The remaining dog, a pug named Bella, belonged to the Hopkins. She was kept for ongoing treatment, and later signed into the care of the society.
Gary and Eden Hopkins pleaded guilty to breaching animal welfare legislation and were given a paltry two-year ban on owning or keeping dogs.
The Scottish SPCA inspector said: “While we welcome the sentencing, we are concerned that without a longer-term ban, they will go on to get other animals a`nd subject them to similar circumstances.”
Sentencing |
Eden Hopkins: 60-day restriction of liberty order
Gary Hopkins: 160 hours of unpaid work.
Two-year ban in relation to dogs only (expires June 2028).

Eden Hopkins is originally from #ayr and retains family links to the town.
The couple have also lived in #blairdardie, #glasgow G15 and #yoker, Glasgow G14.
The couple, who are also believed to be backyard breeders, have shown little remorse for their shocking cruelty to helpless dogs and have apparently bragged that they will move to a new area and “start again”.
