Dogsey

No Poor dog... This kind of thing is all too common, and IMO it should be a jail sentence. I bet the person who assaulted him would get a more severe punishment!

Should have been prison, in my view.

So did the other bloke just stand by and film it....? Why didn't he instead STOP the ba$tard who was abusing the poor dog???

I'm not sure why the guy didn't stop it, but from the view of the picture on the link, which is a snapshot of the film, it looks to have been taken from above and over a wall. I though possibly a neighbour in an upstairs room looking down onto the garden of the dog abuser. He did also call the police, who just told him to call the RSPCA which he says is why he posted it online, so more people would report it. I think the guy did all he maybe really could...

Im not sure who I am more angry at the idiot who abused the animal or the twonk who filmed it -.-
If he cared so much he should have sent the film straight to the RSPCA to show the evidence and maybe the other guy would have got a heavier punnishment. But then again thats nothing really in comparison to the abuse he will get while doing his community service.

Ok well the lad that filmed it did an amazing job IMO. He filmed it from his bedroom window, he then emailed the video to the RSPCA & uploaded it to [a social network] in order to get lots of other people to call the RSPCA too so that action was taken quicker than it would normally do with the RSPCA system. (I was one of them that called up too)

The dog was actually removed from the property THE DAY the film was taken and the man was arrested that night. The video also showed the owner of the dog teaching his son that it was okay to punch the dog in the face and the woman of the house also abusing the dog. All of this happened within about 10 minutes.

I can't blame this lad for NOT knocking on the neighbours door, if you could see how the dog was treat and the size of the fella doing it than you would think twice too I'm afraid to say.

Within a few hours the dog was outta there...Well Done Michael is all I can say...And no, the sentence was not enough!!

The reason the youngster didn't try to stop the man personally is just that-he is a youngster & the man is violent, he involved the correct authorities, who removed the dog timeously preventing any further injury/cruelty

Poor dog -abused by at least two if not three people, all of whom are meant to be its care giving owners!

I think the man that filmed it was amazing, because his neighbours will know it was him that did it. He was very brave IMO and to get the dog out of there within a few hours is just incredible, not what we usually here.

Hope the poor creature has some sort of decent life now.

I think the guy who filmed it should be applauded, not criticised. He did everything the right way, and thanks to him, the dog was removed from the house. Well done to him!

I know quite a bit about this story and apparently the guy who was filming it had reported the guy numerous times to the RSPCA, who did nothing. That's when he decided to film it and encourage other people to ring the RSPCA. Obviously, the RSPCA did do something once they had received a lot of calls.

With regards to the punishment served upon the perpetrator, no it is not a severe enough of a sentence. I’m not even sure prison would be a harsh enough punishment these days, as it is a holiday camp where you can have game consoles and TV’s in your cell, with afternoon movies on everyday (I know someone who has just got out of prison and the above is how he described it). I know what sentenced I’d like to inflict on this idiot but wont go into detail.
