CONVICTED (2015) | Guy Capp, born c. 1990, of Hawthorne Avenue, Brigg DN20 8PF– arranged and filmed a fight to the death between a dog and a ferret Braindead Capp, whose Facebook page bears testimony to his taste for sadistic animal cruelty and bloodlust, pleaded guilty to four charges relating to animal welfare – including keeping two female dogs for animal fighting. They were a brown terrier called Pip, and a female black-and-white bull lurcher called Jazz. Both were found muddy and covered in more than 50 old and new wounds. The other charges included causing unnecessary suffering to the dogs by failing to provide veterinary care and attention for their wounds and conjunctivitis, and causing unnecessary suffering to a domestic ferret. RSPCA inspector Cliff Harrison said the fight between Capp’s dog and the ferret had been filmed on Capp’s mobile phone. “The footage is very distressing,” Mr Harrison said. “It was a fight to the death for the ferret. “The footage has sound and you can hear the ferret squealing in agony. Capp can be heard encouraging the dog, saying ‘kill him’, and when the ferret finally expires, three minutes later, saying, ‘good lad’. “That some people get enjoyment out of something like this, and would inflict this kind of suffering on an animal for fun, even capturing it on camera so that they can re-live it, is abhorrent.” Sentence: four months in jail; ordered to pay £600 costs to RSPCA.
