CONVICTED (2015) | notorious wildlife killer Zamual Jon Mallinson, born 02/11/1990, of Drigh Road, Binbrook, Market Rasen LN8 6EE – filmed himself kicking a wild rabbit in an ‘act of brutality’ and kept dogs with facial injuries in horrendous conditions. Zamual Mallinson grins for photographers during his court appearance for mindless animal cruelty Evil Zamual ‘Zam’ Mallinson was found guilty of keeping a Staffordshire bull terrier, a lurcher cross and a Patterdale terrier for animal fighting. He was investigated by the RSPCA’s special operations unit after he bragged on Facebook about how he used his dogs to fight foxes and badgers. Mallinson also trained dogs to fight badgers and foxes, resulting in horrific facial injuries to the dogs. A search of an address on Edinburgh Road, Brookenby, Lincolnshire, in April 2014 found his dogs kept in unsuitable conditions and with injuries consistent with animal fights. On his phone, which was obtained during the search, footage was discovered of Mallinson walking up behind a wild rabbit and kicking the animal like a football. Speaking about the case, RSPCA Chief Inspector Ian Briggs said: “Our investigation was initially focused on Mallinson keeping his dogs to attack and fight wild animals. However, the footage we discovered on his mobile phone, of him deliberately and unashamedly kicking a wild rabbit, shows his contempt for animals.” Sentence: Mallinson was sentenced to 12-week custodial sentences, suspended for 12 months, for each offence, to run concurrently. 150 hours of unpaid work; fine of £7,000, victim surcharge of £80; banned from keeping dogs for 10 years (expires September 2025).
