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.
10 years!?! This psychopath deserves life in prison, and nothing less.
He’ll be dead soon, scum like that dont last too long in prison. Maybe a gofund me for someone’s commissary to grease the wheels.
Wtf
I’ve been following this case for almost two years, the sick fuck did this in my home town.
The degree of pain this cunt inflicted is disgusting. I regret reading the detailed description of the 1B9P video, it made me sick.
To give this piece of shit the opportunity to reenter society, and potentially torture other animals, is unacceptable. 10 years doesn’t cut it.
10 that’s it?
Could be six on parole if he is a good prisoner.
I really hope fate prevents him from leaving prison in anything other than a hearse.
I wonder of he will get the same treatment as the dogs.
Wtf
He really loves dogs. Adam should be put to sleep.
Say what now?!
He also admitted to four counts of accessing child abuse material.
This seems like it should have also been in the headline.
Unless he paid for it I don’t see how the two things are remotely equivalent. I’d take someone having thousands of vile images on their computer over someone who abused a child or animal even once.

woa and the summary does not even get into the general description of what he did that sounds so bad I don’t want any details. I want to hit I need to take a half day in chat and then take tomorrow to.
I’ve read a more detailed summary than what is currently available by doing a search.
It actually took me a week to read the description though, I just couldn’t process how someone could be this sick.
I regret knowing the details, I am sick with anger whenever I think about Britton.
To know it happened in my hometown makes it so much worse to me.
IT IS A FIGURE OF SPEECH, ADAM! CHRIST!
Capital punishment imo
Both child abuse and animal abuse are treated far too leniently by the law. This guy should never be released.
