[Animals] RSPCA braced for 'animal welfare crisis

[Profesoruツ]

The RSPCA has said it is braced for an animal welfare crisis this summer after reporting a jump in cruelty in the first half of 2024.

The charity said it got 44,800 reports of cruelty across England and Wales between January and the end of June - up by nearly 1,000 compared to the same period last year.

In January, two Hampshire brothers who filmed themselves as they tortured animals in “sickening” attacks were jailed.

In footage not seen publicly before, Kristen Cooper, then 24, was seen laughing about inflicting pain on a deer during a police interview.
