Monkey / Animal Abuse (It is beyond belief)

Emmm
I am beginning to think I was right all along.
You are a BOT, stuck on repeat and incapable of human interaction.
Best you revert back to copy and paste and zero comment.

My dearest Les, you cannot have it both ways, you have hounded, insulted and bullied for opinions to go with copy and paste items, Les make your mind up...

Les, your smoke-screen continues in a most arrogant and robotic manner, i know Les, let's have some human interaction from YOU like has been asked often...

Les, if your 5 grand-children, 2 at pre school, 1 in high school and 2 who are at University, were wiped out by a gun-tooting maniac(s) in the USA, how would you feel..?

Les, these people who are very close to your heart would be killed in seconds, the police catch the perpetrator(s) and hold them, how would you feel Les...?

Les, no smoke-screens, just raw emotion, go on Les, let it go and show us all that you have trolled in the past that you are in fact just a simple human being....

Les, it's tea at the cricket, just having a couple of crumpets with butter...

Les, have a superb rest of your day...

Evil.

Man, 56, to appear in court after corpses of 10 rare tortoises worth up to £10,000 each were found dumped in woods..by Iwan Stone.

He has been accused of two counts - one for dropping litter and a second of failing to care for the animals.

He will face charges under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 and the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

One charge states: 'Between 29th December 2023 and 2nd January 2024 at Exeter in the county of Devon threw down, dropped or otherwise deposited litter, namely ten deceased Aldabra tortoises and left it in East Devon.

The second charge states: 'Between 23rd and 29th December 2023 at Exeter in the county of Devon did not take such steps as were reasonable in all the circumstances to ensure that the needs of an animal for which you were responsible, namely ten Aldabra tortoises, were met to the extent required by good practice in that due to not checking on the daily welfare and heating system relating to their care which failed and led to the animals' death.

Devon and Cornwall Police has been working with the National Wildlife Crime Unit and the RSPCA on the investigation.

The RSPCA revealed that the tortoises were found with their legs spread back against their shells and their heads outstretched and limp.

Although there are an estimated 400,000 pet tortoises of all species in the UK, the Aldabra is rare, with only some 400 thought to live in Europe.

Keepers should typically have an inside pen kept at a constant 32c, complete with UV lighting — both mercury lamps and UVB fluorescent tubes — which provide Vitamin D, as well as a 'fogging system' to keep humidity at roughly 60 per cent.

But Aldabras also need plenty of outdoor space, ideally with a pool of water — they are excellent swimmers and can hold their breath for up to half an hour.

It is the exotic nature of these majestic creatures that has captured the imagination of the local community.

Hayley Belworthy owns an equestrian centre at Newhall Farm, bordering the forest to the west. She first heard about the gruesome discovery on a community Facebook group.

'People are shocked and devastated,' she said in February. 'We're a close-knit community so when something like this happens, it's just horrific.'

One of Ms Belworthy's grooms, Tess, who keeps two horses at the centre and commutes the short drive from Exeter, is equally affected.

'I've had horses here for the past 20 years. Everyone is friendly and happy. Everybody helps each other out. It's like a village here, so we're all upset.

'And because we don't know what's happened, it makes it worse. I think it will make people wary to go into the woods.

'But we'll carry on: we don't have a choice. We'll all be keeping an eye open, though.'

Anya Honey, a professional dog-walker who frequently takes her canine charges to the forest, described the discovery as 'deeply disturbing and upsetting'.

She added: 'I only wish I had been here at the time: perhaps I could have saved these beautiful creatures.'

Many in the community — which stretches from Cullompton to the north down to Exeter in the south — echo a strong sense that things like this simply don't happen here.

Henry Massey, chairman of Broadclyst Parish Council, told the Mail: 'This is an area of very little crime. The worst we usually get is dogs off leads attacking sheep. It's clearly upsetting that this happened in what is otherwise a happy, quiet parish. But that might be exactly why it was used.'


P.S..UPDATE LATEST:

A Man has been sentenced to a 12-month community order of 50 hours of unpaid work, banned from keeping tortoises for 10 years after failing to properly look after and later dumping 10 Aldabra tortoises which died in his care.

Priddle also had to pay costs and a £199 surcharge...

Gary Priddle (56), of Grecian Way, Exeter, pleaded guilty to one charge under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 and one under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 when he appeared before Exeter Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, May 30th.
