I've been following this case for a while. Britton is facing a 249-year sentence. His case reminds me of "hurtcore superstar" Peter Scully, who's currently serving a life sentence in an overcrowded Filipino dungeon with nothing but karma and rotting manioc on the menu. When it comes to Britton, what I managed to gather so far is that Australia wants blood and that the international community, present company included, will continue pushing for the death penalty.
Britton's sentencing was pushed back to August 8. Here are a few excerpts from Kyle Hunt's (Renegade Tribune) coverage of the story:
Donât F**k with Dogs: Serial Dog Rapist Adam Britton sheds Crocodile Tears in Court (July 15, 2024)
[...] Britton regularly filmed himself raping, mutilating, and killing dogs and puppies, videos he would share under the handle âmonsterâ with other zoo-sadists. The heartless brute holds a PhD in zoology and was until recently employed as research associate at Charles Darwin University, credentials that allowed him to safely indulge his sadistic urges in a remote corner of Darwin, Australiaâs Northern Territory, where he settled 20 years prior to his arrest. His unspeakable acts of bestiality and torture were carried out in secluded spots of the Darwin forest or inside a repurposed shipping container Britton called his âtorture roomâ, on his McMinns Lagoon property.
He and his wife Erin, a biologist and wildlife ranger who has vanished from public view and gone on a safari âescapeâ since her husbandâs arrest, once hosted celebrity wildlife documentary narrator Sir David Attenborough during the filming of BBC series Life in Cold Blood, a study of cold- blooded amphibians and reptiles. Brittonâs sadistic proclivities would suggest his wife Erin was merely kept as a âbeardâ with which to conceal his bestial (leaning homosexual) orientation, having subjected his two white Swiss Shepherds to depraved acts of sodomy and torture for almost as long as he had been married. Britton and his wife worked with the BBC and National Geographic and Erin even rubbed shoulders with a British royal whom she helped catch a saltwater crocodile.
â1Bitch9Pupsâ
Australian news outlets have reported an increasing number of voices calling for Brittonâs execution since his arrest in 2022 along with petitions demanding capital punishment and a change to Australian law. This past Wednesday Darwin residents gathered outside Darwinâs Supreme Court holding up placards that read: âDeath penalty for Adam Brittonâ, âRapist, torturer, murdererâ, and the most emblematic of them all, âJustice for Lady and her 9 angel pupsâ, referring to Brittonâs infamously sadistic video â1Bitch9Pupsâ, in which he tortures and kills a female dog and her litter of nine pups in the most inhumane ways imaginable. Britton initially envisioned it as becoming âthe most-known shock video everâ. In a providential twist, the video led to his downfall as an online sleuth tipped off the police after spotting an orange âCity of Darwinâ leash on Lady with the slogan âGreat Pets Start with Youâ.
Like all animal abusers, Britton only expressed remorse when in handcuffs â this time being the one restrained and at somebody elseâs mercy. Prior to his arrest he had boasted about his crimes online and even helped others ânavigate zoo-sadismâ giving them tips on âhow to play on current ownersâ sympathy to help secure dogs to abuseâ. In one conversation he wrote:
âMost people want to know youâre a good person and the dog is going to a good home â itâll have space to play, youâll take it for walks, it might live in the house etc,
Telling them you want a new family member after your old dog died from cancer last year hardly ever fails.
Britton managed to âadoptâ 42 dogs from Gumtree over a two-year period, taking the pets away from unsuspecting families who were unable to keep the dogs due to work or health-related issues.
The Brit once even described watching young children cry as he walked away with their pets.â (thesun.co.uk)
