Who clears up the Beaufort's bloody mess?
Well in this video it is the pathetic Bin Bag Betty who removes the black sack with the slaughtered fox's entrails. But later, they are helped to bin the crimes by a police officer who steals the evidence, 1/3🧵
We shall keep fighting the good fight.
There’s a long way to go, but the cross-party endorsement of banning cruelty gives me hope, that despite the many political divides amongst us: Unionists; Nationalists; and those of neither persuasion can come together as animal-lovers to end this barbaric practice.
Well done @JohnBlairAPNI for bringing forward this bill.
And well done to those in all parties who took a principled stand against cruelty toward animals.
Onward and upwards.
@CAupdates@CAIreland Dry your eyes and catch a grip of yourselves for goodness sake! Northern Ireland will not tolerate animal cruelty in any form. Fox hunting is barbaric. No human in their right mind enjoys watching an animal being ripped apart for the sheer fun of it!
Just imagine the fear and torment of being thrown alive to a pack of hounds.
This is what we're fighting to end. This hunt claimed to be a 'trail hunt'. We need a proper ban on this vile pastime.
Take 15 seconds to act now.
Police in Ballymena have launched an urgent appeal to help trace missing person Thomas Surgenor, last seen this morning.

⚠️PLEASE PLEASE RETWEET THE HELL OUT OF THIS KITTEN ABUSER
🚨 BEN MURKIN, ELY
⚠️KNOW HIS FACE⚠️
A sadistic animal abuser has avoided prison after inflicting catastrophic injuries on a kitten after throwing it at a wall, a door and down the stairs.
Ben Murkin, of Mill Lane, Fordham, Ely, appeared at Cambridge Crown Court on March 6 to be sentenced in a prosecution brought forward by the RSPCA.
On March 6, 2024, a veterinary practice was contacted by a family member who said Murkin's cat Whisper had fallen and was struggling to breathe.
By the time they arrived at the practice with Whisper, the kitten had already passed away after being in immense pain and suffering.
Whisper's death was reported to the RSPCA after concerns about the injuries.
An independent post mortem found that Whisper had suffered injuries including a bruised head, a left eye haemorrhage, reddening and bruising of the tail area, and multiple injuries to limbs, consistent with a strong human grip.
Murkin claimed the injuries occurred when he was carrying out CPR.
The post mortem also found evidence of current and old rib fractures and a fracture on the lumber vertebrae.
He had also ignored advice from the bet to bring the cat back on two occasions.
These included after bringing in the kitten for limping after a supposed fall in December 2023 and in February 2024 after treatment for a fractured tooth and red gums.
Some of the specific acts of cruelty detailed in court included kicking Whisper against a wall, picking her up by the tail and throwing her down the stairs, and throwing Whisper against the door.
The expert vet concluded in their report: “It is my expert opinion that clearly Whisper suffered as a result of the injuries she sustained however they were caused.
She sustained multiple and severe injuries both to her lip and upper canine, to her ribs on the right hand side and then to her face, chest and abdomen in the final incident.
“All of these will have caused her to suffer pain and distress. The final set of injuries the duration of the suffering will only have lasted as long as she remained conscious which is likely to have been a short period of time.
“It is my expert opinion that the injuries sustained by Whisper were the result of deliberate and intentional trauma inflicted upon her by a person with the intention of her causing her serious harm and suffering.”
The court heard he got Whisper with his girlfriend as emotional support as he was lonely. When the relationship ended, he started to resent the cat. The judge described Murkin's actions as an "extraordinary response".
The judge noted this had been "astonishing cruelty to an animal" and said Murkin had committed other acts of physical violence on the cat.
The offence was placed in the highest category because the injuries were "prolonged and repeated, inflicted with significant force, and resulted in death".
Murkin had pleaded guilty to two counts of causing unnecessary suffering to Whisper by inflicting trauma causing injury and for failing to provide prompt veterinary treatment, in respect of the injury to the cat’s gums and fractured canine tooth.
He was given a 22-month prison sentenced that has been suspended for 18 months.
He has been ordered to carry out 240 hours of unpaid work and 20 Rehabilitation Activity Requirement days.
He has been banned for keeping all animals for life and was ordered to pay £500 court costs and £187 victim surcharge.
RSPCA Inspector Emily Astillberry said: "The actions in this case were of astonishing cruelty to a defenceless animal. It is heart-breaking to hear what Whisper - this small ragdoll kitten - had to endure such cruel and sustained suffering. She was still so young when she died and had to endure such pain and suffering during this short life.”
ANIMAL ABUSERS CAN ROT IN HELL 😡😡!
The fact that this is even a thing is despicable. If you do this to animals and contribute to it, may justice be swift!
A Winnipeg couple ~ Irene Lima, 56, and Chad Kabecz, 41 ~ have received 12-year prison sentences after pleading guilty to producing and selling videos that depicted extreme animal abuse and killings. The punishment is being described as one of the harshest ever handed down in Canada for animal cruelty offenses.
Investigators also seized hundreds of graphic videos and images, along with tens of thousands of encrypted messages, from the couple’s electronic devices.
The crimes were planned, repeated, and commercialized, targeting vulnerable animals to satisfy buyer requests. Hundreds of videos and tens of thousands of messages were seized, leading to 12-year prison sentences, among the harshest ever for animal cruelty in Canada.
🚨⚠️ DOG ABUSER - NEGLECT
GEORGINA BODLE, 32.
TAMWORTH
KNOW THE FACE.
A woman motivated by greed who kept dogs in a property covered in faeces and urine, with no access to water has been sentenced after pleading guilty to animal neglect.
'Dog carer' Georgina Bodle, 32, claimed to run a dog boarding and whelping service from her rented home in Portleys Lane, Drayton Bassett, in March 2023.
Inside the three-bedroom semi-detached property officers found 32 dogs, including 12 puppies, some of which were kept in small cages without room to move easily.
Bodle, of Barnbridge, Tamworth, has been banned from dealing in animals for five years, and was sentenced to a 12-month community order at Cannock Magistrates.
A Lichfield District Council spokesperson said many of the dogs that were found were kept in "atrocious conditions" in a small, rented property with faeces and urine across the floors.
The authority launched an investigation into Bodle following complaints and later forced entry into her home after she failed to co-operate.
"Instead of finding her providing water for the dogs, clearing up the faeces and the urine, or exercising the dogs, Bodle was found having a birthday meal with a friend," a council spokesperson added.
"Some of the dogs were not owned by Bodle but were entrusted into her care by unsuspecting members of the public.
"Motivated by greed, Bodle was caught neglecting the dogs and operating this as a business without a licence".
Bodle was also ordered to pay a fine, victim surcharge and costs totalling £2,234.
