CONVICTED (2021) | Andrew Robert Ide (aka Andrew Ide-Jones), born 24 December 1997, of Waterloo Road, Havant – caught on video kicking a tiny terrier, standing on her neck and throwing her to the ground. Cruel thug Andrew Ide was filmed kicking Roxy (pictured), standing on her neck and throwing her to the ground. Ide admitted two charges of causing unnecessary suffering to a terrier named Roxy and two of failing to take steps to protect her from pain, suffering, injury and disease. He did so by using ‘physical violence, inappropriate handling and intimidator behaviour’. Ide was investigated by the RSPCA after clips were handed to the animal welfare charity. Investigators said Ide had Roxy in his care when he was filmed ‘applying pressure through his foot’ standing on her nose, and then standing on her neck with his right foot. An RSPCA spokeswoman said: ‘Further footage showed Ide carrying the small black dog by the scruff of her neck in his left hand while holding the muzzle area of the dog’s face with his right hand. ‘She then squeals as she is thrown onto the patio floor, and is whimpering as she lays on her front on the ground. ‘Another clip shows him use his right leg to kick Roxy’s face before walking away again.’ Roxy has since been found a new home having been signed over to the care of the RSPCA. RSPCA Inspector Hannah Nixon said: ‘Causing unnecessary suffering to an animal is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act and the use of physical punishments has been shown to jeopardize the physical and mental health of dogs and cause suffering.’ Sentencing: 12-month community order with 250 hours of unpaid work and 16 rehabilitation activity days; total of £295 in costs and charges. Banned from owning animals for TWO years (expires March 2023). The News
