Jail ‘Not Ruled Out’ For Man Who Killed Own Dog In Washing Machine
Posted By Ryan O'Meara Date: 20/03 Posted Under: Animal Cruelty, Social IssuesHere you go. British justice at its finest.
A jail sentence has ‘not been ruled out’ for a delightful drunk by the name of Andrew Glazzard.
Mr Glazzard, who killed his own pet dog by putting the petrified animal in a washing machine to ‘teach it a lesson’.
Said to be unhappy that Maisie had messed in the house, this charming man put her in the washing machine but pulled her out after a few seconds. As her tail was still wagging he put her back in and went off to sleep, leaving her to die.
But rest assured, all of this is not Glazzard’s fault. He has an alcohol problem you see. You could argue, he’s a victim of society which is why the court is obviously ‘considering’ a jail term. No?
When he awoke from his drunken sleep, he picked up Maisie’s dead body, put her in a bag and threw her in a river.
But remember people, the justice system IS considering a jail term for him.
Prosecutor Mark Cooper told the justices in Halesowen, West Midlands that Glazzard had been out drinking and he put the dog in the washing machine “to teach the dog a lesson”.
He admitted causing an animal unnecessary suffering.
Defending Glazzard, his lawyer admitted that his client had a drink problem. (ahh, bless. The poor dear)
The case was adjourned until April 9 for reports but not before Glazzard was warned that although a community based sentence is being considered, jail was not being ruled out.
Yes, jail is NOT ruled out people. He MIGHT go to jail.
What in the BLUE HELL is wrong with us????
‘Could’ go to jail. ‘Might’ go to jail. Jail ‘not ruled out’.
For the love of God, get this sick, psychopathic loser behind bars for as long as possible as quick as possible. Preferably a rotating jail big on water, low on oxygen
He threw a dog in a washing machine and killed it. It was HIS OWN dog. He is very, very obviously a derranged, sick, sociapathic creep who surely must be subject to some form of justice appropriate to such a disgusting crime. I don’t want a share society with this man. I don’t want my tax money to pay for his community-service supervision. I want him and others like him in jail for 5 years. At least.
Is it any wonder that we have such a terrible animal welfare problem in the United Kingdom when a ‘man’ can kill his own dog in a washing machine and the justice system is ‘warning’ him that they are ‘considering’ a jail sentence?
What message does that send out?

you are absolutely right on this one once again. This sort of crime is best punished with a good old dose of street justice. Whilst I really don’t dig mob violence, I wouldn’t be running to help this guy if I ever saw him getting a good kicking.
what an absolute scum bag. Id like to stick his head underwater for 20 minutes. B***rd
Ryan, I absolutely agree with you on this. But, unfortunately it is symptomatic of the countries Criminal Justice? System which has been steadily eroded by the politicians, their advisors and the bean counters.
The latest idea being guidance to the courts that any mitigating(?) factors such as drugs and drink be taken into account for sentencing. Anything to keep the scrotes out of prison. I despair.
So he has a drink problem? He is the one who decided to start drinking! good job we dont all take the easy way out when we have a few problems! Jail him okay, but tell the other prisoners what he has done, that should sort out any short sentence Mr Glazzard receives. Apart from the obvious danger to animals that this man poses, when this thing graduates to attacking and harming people, what can we say, he should be in a secure institution for those with mental health problems?
Possibly being a bit general about this persons drink related issues but there is no excuse for this kind of disgraceful animal abuse.
Protect animals and people by putting Mr Glazzard in a secure facility where they can get him off his drink addiction and perhaps teach him to respect all living things?
