William David Streeter killed a Golden Retriever, Mac, who belonged to his wife before threatening to kill her.

He was convicted of seven charges of animal cruelty and one of making threats to kill and a hearing described the judge as one the worst cases of animal cruelty he had ever seen.

Streeter hung the dog by his collar and repeatedly kicked him with his steel toe-capped boots before hitting the stricken animal with a boulder.

North Antrim Magistrates’ Court were told he then threatened to kill his wife two days later..

The dog died after Streeter placed a choke chain around his neck and hung him from a rafter in his garage.

Mac suffered bruising, internal bleeding, swelling of the back, broken ribs and bleeding on the brain and lungs.

Streeter was released on bail pending a High Court appeal and banned from keeping an animal in 10 years.

Let’s just review shall we.

He got 6 months but is currently out on bail.
In 10 years time he can get himself another dog.

Ever wondered why the UK has such a shocking animal cruelty record?

    This man really is a disgrace to the human race. He is evil beyond belief, and should have been put away at least for 10 years.

    In 6 months he will be out – I am not usually this angry, but I hope his life will be made a sheer misery.

    Surely a person who can do this to an animal has got to be a 100% threat to public safety and should perhaps be detained under the mental health act until such time as the medics can work out what made him do this to a living creature?

    The National Dog Warden Association wrote a paper in 1999 that pointed out the connection between people who kill or treat animals cruelly and them moving on to doing the same against people.

    at the time the paper was critcised, but what do we get years later, learned professionals in the animal world bringing out an identical paper that is not criticised?

    If you read the story – (BBC Northern Ireland) you can see from footage shown of this nauseating character, just what a mentally sick, evil person he is.

    Not a lot of sympathy though for his wife, as she should have got up courage to get away from him a lot sooner than she did.

    I know from my own life’s experiance, that there are control freaks who will dominate and abuse you, given the chance.
    Poor lovely ‘Mac’.

    What an EVIL person to commit this act!!!!!
