| [News] Man Punches Yorkie to Death Outside Pub A man from Newport in South Wales has escaped Jail, after punching his pet Yorkie so many times that it had to be put to sleep. Leighton Martin Collins, 50 admitted to punching the dog repeatedly in the face after the Yorkshire Terrier, one of the world's smallest breeds of dog, had "shown him up", as Collins put it. Collins had been drinking and admitted to having had 5 pints of beer prior to the incident. He was drinking at the public house where his partner is the landlady, and felt that the dog was "showing him up" in front of the other customers. He told the court "He has bitten a couple of customers in the pub so I took him outside to sort him out. To be honest with you it got a bit out of hand and the last thing I know was that I was whisked away by my brother and the last time I seen the dog Jan had him in her hands." Collins admitted that he felt 'shown up' by the little dog, after he had received a bite. "That set me off a little bit. You know, showing me up. Because he did show me up in front of 20 people and you know what people are like, they laugh, and who's the governor here?" Despite admitting to the assault on Buster the Yorkshire Terrier, Collins now represents another example of perpetrators of extreme cruelty to dogs escaping custodial sentences. He has been ordered to pay fees up to £1,012.89 which includes vet fees. http://www.k9magazine.com/viewarticl...0&vid=0&npage= |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Do you search for these awful stories, FE? Wonder how that guy would feel if he'd been shown up by a woman. I'd have knocked him into next week.... Poor baby. I don't think living with this guy was the lap of luxery either....beer or no beer.

| I think he looks day and night for these news stories. Shown up, by his dog, sound like that wouldn't take much.. what a total waste.

| What a pig. He should have received a custodial sentence. That makes a disgrace of the very fine animal rights laws we have in this country. How shocking |
