A British crocodile expert was sentenced Thursday to more than 10 years in prison in Australia after admitting to sexually abusing, torturing and killing dozens of dogs. He filmed videos of himself torturing dogs to death and then shared the videos online under pseudonyms, the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory in Australia heard. The “unalloyed pleasure” Britton took in torturing the animals was “sickeningly evident,” the BBC quoted Grant as saying. According to the court documents, Britton sexually abused his own pets, Ursa and Bolt, for years but sought out other dogs as well. “My own dogs are family and I have limits,” he said in a Telegram message cited in the documents.
