Zoologist Sentenced for Animal Cruelty in Australia

Adam Britton, a British zoologist and crocodile expert, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for raping and torturing 42 dogs over an 18-month period. His ex-wife, Erin, has spoken out about her shock and disbelief upon discovering his heinous crimes, which included bestiality and animal cruelty, after receiving a call from his lawyer while she was away on a work trip. Erin described her horror as she learned of Britton's actions, stating that she felt sick and was in denial. Despite their past as business partners in wildlife consulting, she had no idea about his double life, which involved filming his brutal acts and sharing them online. Britton's disturbing prison correspondence, requesting books on dog behavior, further confounded Erin, who has since divorced him and struggled to comprehend the depravity of his actions. Detective Sergeant Mark Cronin revealed that Britton used various weapons to commit his acts, showcasing a calculated and sadistic nature that has left Erin grappling with the reality of her former partner's true self.
