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. 3 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.' 3 3

EXCLUSIVE Horrendous moment dog owner attacks her own French bulldogs with garden spade
Horrific footage has shown the moment a dog owner attacked her own French bulldogs with a garden spade. In the video Elizabeth Perrin, 52, is wielding the heavy metal shovel in her back garden surrounded by Frenchies at her home in Dukinfield, Greater Manchester in late 2020. She then brought the spade above her head before swinging it down with great force as she beat a number of the tiny dogs as they can be heard yelping in pain. Washing hung to dry on the gate blocked the view in parts which made it unclear as to exactly how many dogs were hit. However, Perrin can clearly be seen striking three of the Frenchies which were cowering in a corner. Two were smacked on their heads and another was hit with such force that it was knocked off its feet onto its back and struggled to get back up. Sickeningly, Perrin then turns around to glare at the rest of the terrified dogs and shouts: 'Next one!' It was the third video RSPCA Inspector Ryan King had seen of animal abuse at the property which he previously visited in November 2021 to investigate reports that a number of dogs were fighting on the premises. At the time, Perrin and her now ex boyfriend Trevor Hague, 52, told him they had 20 dogs in total and showed them around an open plan area where some were kept, Tameside Magistrates' Court heard. Inspector King said one young Frenchie, named Wizza, was lying on a sofa and 'seemed flat - not jumping around like the other dogs'. '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,' he added. He supervised a visit to the vets with the then couple and their pup, but sadly it was too late and he had to be put down due to his severe injuries. Two days later Inspector King collected Wizza's body from a pet crematorium and handed it over to the police as evidence. A month later, he saw two videos which were taken in the back garden of Perrin's home which he recognised from his previous visits. Hague could be seen kicking a dog in the torso in the first clip and the other showed Perrin repeatedly hitting one of the innocent pooches with the brush end of a broom. In his court statement, Inspector King said: 'I could identify both Perrin and Hague in the videos as I had met them on multiple occasions. I called Perrin and informed her I needed to visit and speak to her, so I arranged to go round the next day.' Both defendants claimed they 'only hit or kick the dogs to split them up when fighting' - despite the fact the video did not show them fighting. The vile pair agreed to sign the two pets over into RSPCA care. However, it was just a month later when Inspector King was sent the video of Perrin beating her Frenchies with the spade. An expert veterinary witness report said two dogs had been struck with the spade in the video and would have been 'caused to suffer' from blunt force trauma. He added that 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. In mitigation, it was said of Perrin that the offences took place some time ago, she had pleaded guilty to two offences and was the sole carer for two children with special needs. Hague was said to have expressed remorse and had pleaded guilty to one offence which took place some time ago. He was also banned from keeping dogs for six months. After the case, Inspector King, whose RSPCA inquiry bought the pair to justice, said: '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 deserve to be shown kindness and respect.' Perrin was handed a 12-month community order and a 16-week night-time curfew and ordered to pay £700 costs by magistrates on May 14. She admitted causing unnecessary suffering to three dogs by inflicting blunt force trauma and physical violence, and failing to ensure their needs were met by housing them away from other animals. The judge decided against banning her from keeping animals because her two children have special needs which benefit from having support dogs. Hague was banned from keeping dogs for six months, fined £604 and ordered to pay £700 costs.
