Man caught on CCTV beating dog with mop handle in cowardly attack

This footage shows Adam Wardle, aged 23, of Bondfield Crescent, Barnsley, punching and kicking the three-year-old tan mastiff cross, called Bobby, before continuing his cowardly attack by using a mop handle to beat the dog. He has been banned from keeping animals for 10 years, following an RSPCA investigation, after he admitted causing unnecessary suffering to the dog under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 and was sentenced at Barnsley Magistrates’ Court.
