Adam Britton pleaded guilty to 60 charges, which also included four counts of accessing child abuse material.

Adam Britton, a leading zoologist who has worked on BBC and National Geographic productions, pleaded guilty to 56 charges relating to bestiality and animal cruelty.

He also admitted to four counts of accessing child abuse material.

The Northern Territory (NT) Supreme Court heard the 53-year-old filmed himself torturing the animals until almost all died, and then shared the videos online under pseudonyms.

His abuse went unnoticed for years, until a clue was found in one of his videos. Britton was arrested in April 2022 after a search of his rural Darwin property, which also uncovered child abuse material on his laptop.

        Anyone who down votes this has no idea how fucked up Britton was.

        As someone who was sexually abused as a child, I can say with certainty that Britton’s capacity to inflict suffering far surpasses 99% of child rapists.

        If you disagree, I’m certain you do not know the details of Britton’s crimes.

          There’s some idiots so damn bandwagoned by popular media that they think some dude getting excited about kids is equal to torturing to death several living things. These are people who are out of touch because they don’t live with real problems or know how bad pain can be. They’re only gonna react with what they think is most socially reinforced.

            What those poor dogs experienced is beyond my comprehension.

            What a lot of people don’t understand is this wasn’t just physical torture, Britton was doing this shit and making other dogs watch, because he knew it was adding to the trauma.

            If these were people, and not dogs, Britton would go down as the sickest fuck in modern history, not even John Wayne Gacey was this disturbed (assuming you don’t have a species bias).

              I’ll never get over how people put animals below them. Like, I eat meat. I’ve got no problem with the food chain. I am bothered by the food industry though. The cows shouldn’t be living fucked up lives so I can eat them.
