Shocking moment vile woman batters French bulldogs with spade after keeping TWENTY sick animals locked up

THIS is the shocking moment a vile woman battered her French bulldogs with a spade after keeping 20 animals locked up.
Elizabeth Perrin was captured beating the defenceless animals in the garden of her home in Dukinfield, Greater Manchester.

The sick 52-year-old was then heard shouting "next one" as she continued the horrific rampage.
One of the dogs was knocked to the ground and another had to be put down after suffering gash wounds.
Perrin was also caught on video hitting the animals with a broom in a year-long campaign of abuse.
When RSPCA officers attended the home, they discovered 20 dogs that had been kept in cramped conditions.
One of the French bulldogs, named Wizza, was found lying on the sofa injured.
Inspector Ryan King said: "There was a bad smell coming from him, on closer inspection I noticed a number of puncture wounds on his front legs, there was some blood around his ears and further puncture wounds around his groin."
Wizza was taken to a vet but had to be put to sleep two days later to end his suffering.
Perrin and her partner Trevor Hague both appeared at Tameside Magistrates' Court charged with abuse offences.
The mum admitted causing unnecessary suffering to three dogs by inflicting blunt force trauma and physical violence.
She also pleaded guilty to failing to ensure their needs were met by housing them away from other animals.
But magistrates decided against banning her from keeping animals because her two children have special needs, which benefit from having support dogs.
The court was told Inspector King was called to the home in November 2021 following reports a number of dogs were fighting.
Perrin and Hague told him they had 20 dogs in total and showed them around an open plan area where a number of the pets were kept.
A month later, the officer was handed two videos - one showing Perrin hitting the dogs with a broom and another clip of Hague kicking one of the animals.
The vile couple claimed they 'only hit or kick the dogs to split them up when fighting" and signed two of the pets over to the RSCPA.
But Inspector King received a video a month later of Perrin smacking the dogs with a spade.
He said: "On the first swing I could hear a dull thud as she made contact with something. On the second swing there was more of a harsh sound and a slight sound of a dog yelping.
'She swings the spade down on three dogs that are in the corner, hitting two of the dogs on the head. One is hit with such force that is knocked off its feet onto its back and struggles to get up for a second.
'She then turns around, pauses, looks round at the dogs and shouts 'next one'.'
A veterinary expert said the dogs would have been 'caused to suffer' from blunt force trauma.
He added the welfare needs of a number of other dogs kept by Perrin had not been met because they were not sufficiently separated from each other.
Perrin was made subject to a 12-month community order, a 16-week night-time curfew and ordered to pay £700 costs.
Inspector King said after the case: 'Having to see that video of someone deliberately inflicting pain on an animal with a weapon was awful.
'There is no excuse for this behaviour towards an animal. It really does defy belief that someone could behave in this way.
"Animals deserve to be shown kindness and respect.'

Shoplifting is "out of control", a retail organisation has warned after police figures showed the crime had increased sharply in the Highlands in recent Against Crime said one of the problems was there were "little or no consequences" for persistent offenders.A Police Scotland report to Highland Council said the five-year average for shoplifting in the region was 919 incidents, while in 2023-24 there were 1,487 and a further 1,349 in Secretary Angela Constance said the Scottish government recognised the significant harm and disruption caused by retail crime in Scotland and had provided Police Scotland with an extra £3m to tackle the problem. The Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) said it gave "careful consideration" to any reports of alleged criminal conduct. Retailers Against Crime director Maxine Fraser said shoplifting threatened to put small, family-run shops out of told BBC Scotland News: "We work very closely with Police Scotland and we know that they do as much as they can - they will stop offenders and have them arrested."Then if or when it goes to court there are virtually no consequences."If someone is a prolific offender why on earth would they stop if nothing is going to happen to them."Ms Fraser said she accepted jail time was not always the answer and suggested more emphasis be placed on rehabilitation and education - including teaching schoolchildren about the impact of said most of the crimes were not associated with the cost of living crisis but linked to serious and organised crime, or people who were stealing to make money from reselling the goods."It's out of control," she said. 'Massive amount' The police report was discussed at a meeting of Highland Council's communities and place committee on Scotland's North Division commander, Ch Supt Robert Shepherd, told the meeting: "We do see last year there was a massive, massive amount of shoplifting - twice the previous years'."He said the latest figures showed a drop, but added that officers were working to further reduce the number of Supt Shepherd also said an inspector was based in Inverness as part of a Scottish government-funded team targeting retail crime across Scotland. Justice Secretary Angela Constance said the additional funding had been provided as part of £1.6bn of investment in policing this said: "Police Scotland has established the Retail Crime Taskforce that is targeting affected areas to prevent crime and pursue those responsible."It is also working with retailers to identify ways in which they can enhance security and reduce incidents occurring."Punishments for shoplifting can include fines, community work and a prison said it was taking action to prosecute shoplifters.A spokesperson said: "COPFS will give careful consideration to any reports of alleged criminal conduct which are submitted by the police."Prosecutorial action will be taken if the reports contain sufficient admissible evidence of a crime and if it is appropriate and in the public interest to do so." Fraud also on the rise In January, police said rates of shoplifting and fraud in Inverness had increased over the previous 12 were 680 shoplifting incidents in 2024-25, almost 13% more than the 603 reported in 2023-24.

I lost £97,000 to a scammer. Before you judge me, here's the unexpected - and tragic - reason I fell for it... and how it changed my life forever: SARAH GRACE

It was the dead of night when I made the devastating discovery. Combing frantically through the flurry of emails I'd received from a financial services company and trying to work out how I had got into such a mess, I suddenly realised the address was slightly different to the one on the website. An email to the legitimate firm that morning confirmed my worst fears; I had lost £97,000 to a gang masquerading as investment brokers.
