LOUIS MASON FROM YEADON SHOCKS LEEDS WITH CRUELTY TO GUINEA PIG BUN BUN IN GUISLEY

Louis Mason, born on May 27, 2004, and residing at 10 Coppice Wood Crescent, Yeadon, Leeds LS19 7LG, has been convicted of a disturbing act of animal cruelty that has shocked the local community and animal welfare advocates alike.

On March 17, 2022, Mason was involved in a heinous incident at Eliot Grove in Guiseley, Leeds, where he inflicted severe blunt force trauma on a defenseless white and tan guinea pig named Bun Bun. The attack resulted in catastrophic injuries to the animal, ultimately leading to its death. The details of the case reveal a deliberate act of cruelty, with Mason admitting to causing the fatal injuries to the innocent creature.

The case was prosecuted by the RSPCA, which highlighted the severity of the cruelty involved. The court heard how Mason's actions demonstrated a blatant disregard for animal welfare, prompting a strong legal response.

As part of his sentencing, Mason was ordered to complete 50 hours of unpaid community service and attend 25 days of rehabilitation activities aimed at addressing behavioral issues. Additionally, he will be under supervision for a period to ensure compliance with the court's orders. He was also required to contribute £195 towards the RSPCA’s costs, which amounted to approximately £3,000, and pay a victim surcharge. Most notably, Mason received a lifelong ban on owning any animals, a measure intended to prevent future incidents of cruelty.

This case underscores the ongoing efforts of animal protection agencies to combat cruelty and ensure offenders are held accountable for their actions. The community and animal lovers continue to advocate for stronger protections and harsher penalties for those who commit such acts of violence against animals.
