Ref to VAR - “No, it’s not”
Motherwell/Celtic

Frightening.

I want to ask you a favour today - if you live in the UK would you please sign this?
It's called a 'petition' and even though I don't understand what it is, I know it's important.
Maybe you could tell other humans about it and ask them to sign it too.
I'll tell you more about the special August thing tomorrow.
Here's the petition -

🚨 REPOST - SADISTIC BULLY TORTURED HIS DOG TO DEATH
⚠️ CAUTION ADVISED - A TOUGH READ
KNOW HIS FACE!
🚨 LEVI BALMER, 20
🌍 RUTHERGLEN Nr GLASGOW
Another cockroach abusing animals.
A sadistic bully that horrifically tortured his dog to death by beating and burning it has avoided a prison sentence.
Levi Balmer inflicted severe injuries and caused a dog significant pain and distress has been handed a 10-year ban on owning, keeping and taking charge of dogs.
The 20-year-old, from Rutherglen, subjected the Cane Corso cross American Bully puppy to such severe abuse she died of pain-related stress.
Balmer pleaded guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to a charge of causing 16-week-old Mabel unnecessary physical and mental suffering which left her in such severe pain that she passed away
Balmer was also handed a 162 hours community payback order and placed under 12 months social work supervision.
Leaving her with second and third-degree burns
Balmer held Mabel on a hot surface in his Rutherglen flat leaving her with second and third-degree burns.
He also physically attacked or beat Mabel and fractured a tooth.
The dog suffered scalding to its face, hind limbs, tail and pads, was bleeding from a wound to her shoulder, had blood from her nose and mouth, lameness, swelling and was in acute pain prior to death.
On Christmas Eve 2024, a call was made to the Scottish SPCA Animal Helpline by a vet who was concerned about the condition a deceased dog had been brought into the practice in.
The vet explained Mabel had been brought into the practice multiple times before with serious injuries and that there were suspicions, she had suffered significant abuse.
A Scottish SPCA Inspector spoke to Levi Balmer on the phone, and an investigation was launched into the cause of Mabel’s death.
The Scottish SPCA requested permission for Mabel’s body to be uplifted in order to carry out a post-mortem, which Balmer agreed to. On the same day, the Inspector attended the vet to see Mabel’s body.
The image of Mabel still follows me to this day
The Scottish SPCA Inspector said: “The image of Mabel still follows me to this day. It was quickly evident she has been victim of extreme abuse and cruelty during her short life; her wounds were so severe. It is one of the most distressing cases I have ever dealt with.”
On November 26 2024, Mabel was brought into the vet after coming into contact with bleach.
Balmer explained to the vet that he had washed Mabel in the bath two days earlier, forgetting that he had put bleach in the bath to clean it previously that day.
On December 11 2024, Mabel was examined by another vet due to a complaint of her being lethargic, urinating blood and a lump being found.
Balmer explained that he had tripped and fallen on her earlier that day. A number of teeth were chipped or missing and she had blood in her urine which was indicative of a UTI.
Mabel was taken to the vet again on December 21, 2024, as an emergency appointment due to a history of non-weight bearing lameness, losing teeth, facial swelling and struggle to eat.
Balmer reported that Mabel seemed “injury-prone and clumsy” and said that she had “crashed into” her dog crate, resulting in a small wound on her shoulder.
Due to suspicion over her injuries, another appointment was booked in for December 27 to examine Mabel further – but she was presented as dead on arrival to the vet on December 24.
During the post-mortem examination, it was concluded that the pattern of injury was most consistent with a scald injury and that Mabel had been burnt deliberately.
Evidence also showed the fractures had been caused by a deliberate attack rather than an accident.
“RIVERS OF BLOOD”
Residents in MOSSLEY are demanding answers after disturbing allegations emerged against Hartshead Meats Ltd in Tameside.
Animal rights activists claim footage from inside the abattoir shows serious welfare abuses, including allegations of a secret non-stun KOSHER line and HALAL slaughter practices.
The claims include animals allegedly remaining conscious during slaughter and reports of blood flowing down nearby country lanes, sparking outrage among locals.
Protests are taking place, with campaigners now calling for a full investigation into the slaughterhouse practices.
Shut it down.
Istanbul is ramping up collections to remove all street dogs by the end of May.
There is no visible capacity at this scale. Euthanasia is a real concern
This cannot happen 💔

Andrew McLaughlin starved his dog for 6 weeks and doesn't get any jail time. What the fuck is our justice system doing allowing these cretins to walk freely? @martinmccluskey@StuMcMillanSNP

This sick cunt should have been jailed. Time for political parties to step up toothed plate and hand out tougher sentences on animal abusers #animalabuse#falkirk

@Morton_FC It's the final home game of the season and it could be a season defining moment terms of not only leage position but also what league we play in. Lower the price of tickets and get as many supporters in as a possible. Need the crowd more than ever.
Here's your @TheGreenParty, how many animal activities will share this regardless of their political views? Zoe Marlow starved her dog to death. #animalcruelty#animalabuse

The government is committed to banning the 'smokescreen' of 'trail hunting' but we need YOU to tell the government to do it properly this time. They want YOUR views - please give them!
We need;
❌ No More Exemptions
❌ No More Smokescreens
🚔 Proper Sentencing Deterrents
We urge YOU to respond to the government consultation and use our guidance to make it clear to the government that this MUST END. The wildlife cannot wait. 👉 https://t.co/LU5aw2G5YF
Shame on you @ScotRail
You have an active partnership with the UKs leading bird protection charity the RSPB and claim your spaces are biodiversity friendly. Yet. you want to kill birds, destroy their nests and remove chicks #scotrail
