Adam Britton pleaded guilty to 60 charges, which also included four counts of accessing child abuse material.

Adam Britton, a leading zoologist who has worked on BBC and National Geographic productions, pleaded guilty to 56 charges relating to bestiality and animal cruelty.

He also admitted to four counts of accessing child abuse material.

The Northern Territory (NT) Supreme Court heard the 53-year-old filmed himself torturing the animals until almost all died, and then shared the videos online under pseudonyms.

His abuse went unnoticed for years, until a clue was found in one of his videos. Britton was arrested in April 2022 after a search of his rural Darwin property, which also uncovered child abuse material on his laptop.

    I don’t think he actually fucked the dogs to death. I think they died of actual sadistic torture.

    Which isn’t any better, but somehow the former just feels worse to me.

      Death by anal perforation or whatever would be a shit way to die, but I think there’s some that are even worse.
