⚠️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.”
YouTube are about to steal $10,000 from me & i’m running out of options
so i was terminated last month and my appeal was of course denied in 2 mins
i dm’d youtube and they said they’ll take a proper look
FAST FORWARD it’s been 31 days and no response
now here’s the issue..
YouTube have a policy where if your account doesn’t get reinstated in 50 DAYS,
then they return all the money you made to the advertisers (so my $10k)
essentially if i don’t even get a RESPONSE in the next 3 weeks,
all of my money vanishes, and I don’t even get my channel back
if you’ve been treated badly by YouTube as well, or you simply want to help
then like, RT + comment @ teamyoutube in the replies
i’m tired of youtube relying on their automated system, i’ve been ignored for weeks
no one should have to suffer for an entire month because of an AI error, nuts..
Most basic level of understanding of the La Liga FFP.
1:1 FFP: You earn 100M, before you can spend 100M.
1:2 FFP: You earn 200M, before you can spend 100M.
1:3 FFP: You earn 300M, before you can spend 100M.
1:4 FFP: You earn 400M before you can spend 100M.
1:5 FFP: You earn 500M before you can spend 100M.
La Liga had set Barca to something like 1:4 FFP for a long time. This is why Barca had difficult time signing players. Even at 1:2, it's not feasible to sign players and financially survive.
Barca isn't "broke". We can sign players only if things are at 1:1. We are handcuffed and Tebas doesn't want to free us.
Hope you realize why Tebas FC with his FFP nonsense is financially choking all La Liga clubs except the one in Madrid.
wallahi rivalry and jokes aside, I feel really bad for Raphinha, imagine bagging a 59 G/A!!!! season just for the whole fanbase and media to turn their backs on you, praise and claim the ballon d or for the other kid with 9 league goals just because he’s 17, and if that wasn’t enough.. now his teammates are rushing for another kid to come in and take his place.
@Pasi_9000@UTDTrey Wishing the worst for a kid is crazy. You hate him for being arrogant because of the slanderous behavior against him, yet you support the most arrogant player in football history. Please reflect ang get help 🙏🙏
