LEON ROBINSON'S HORRIFIC CRUELTY IN ST HELENS: PUPPY SLAMMED TO THE GROUND IN DRUNK RAGE
| Red Rose Database
St Helens Animal Abuser
Leon Robinson, a resident of St Helens, was involved in a disturbing incident that drew widespread condemnation and legal action. Born on August 23, 2002, Robinson's address is listed as 22 Bell Lane, Sutton Manor, St Helens WA9 4BD. The incident, which occurred in the town, involved Robinson violently attacking a young puppy, an act that was captured on camera and shocked the local community.
According to reports, Robinson was visibly intoxicated at the time of the assault. He was seen lifting a four-month-old puppy named Kyro above his head and forcefully slamming her onto the ground. The footage clearly shows Robinson storming into his ex-girlfriend’s mother’s house, where the attack took place. Prior to the assault, Robinson ominously told a woman present, “I’m going to boot the dog,” indicating his intent to harm the animal.
The puppy, which had been a Christmas gift for Robinson’s daughter, was heard whimpering in pain immediately after the attack. Emergency services responded swiftly, and Kyro was transported to an animal hospital in Greater Manchester. Although her injuries were not life-threatening, she exhibited signs of pain and distress, especially when her leg was lifted, suggesting she had sustained some trauma during the assault.
Legal proceedings revealed that Robinson’s actions followed a recent breakup with his girlfriend, which may have contributed to his volatile state. Peter Mitchell, the prosecutor, explained that Robinson had previously purchased Kyro for his daughter but had been involved in other legal issues. In February 2021, Robinson was sentenced to 22 weeks in prison for breaching a non-contact order and for possession of an offensive weapon. The RSPCA also filed a separate charge against him, emphasizing the need to protect animals from his future conduct.
Veterinary assessments confirmed that Kyro would have experienced fear, distress, and pain during the attack. The incident drew condemnation from animal welfare advocates and the local community, who called for justice and stronger protections for animals.
Robinson’s defense attorney, Christopher Bivon, stated that Robinson had little recollection of the incident but expressed remorse, describing him as “clearly appalled by what he has done.” Bivon also noted that Robinson had been drinking heavily and using cannabis at the time but has been attempting to turn his life around since his release from custody.
In court, Robinson admitted to causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal. As a result, he was sentenced to a 12-month community order, which includes 80 hours of unpaid work, along with costs and charges totaling £295. Additionally, he received a ten-year ban from keeping animals, which will expire in August 2031. The case has once again highlighted concerns over animal cruelty in the St Helens area and the importance of strict enforcement of animal protection laws.
