A thug who tortured a four-month-old puppy told RSPCA inspectors he did it because his head was "f*****" on steroids. A horrified neighbour secretly filmed Callum Ruane, 21, punching, kicking and throwing the American Bully dog, called Dice, at his home in Warrington.
The shocking footage was passed to the RSPCA. When interviewed by inspectors at his mum's home, a tearful Ruane claimed he had attacked Dice because he had "just completed a cycle of steroids and his head was f*****".
Carmel Wilde, prosecuting on behalf of the RSPCA, told Liverpool Crown Court today that Susie Perry and another neighbour, Kerry Liggett, first became concerned when they heard a dog "screaming" on September 25, 2021. Ms Perry ran to look out of an upstairs window which overlooked the patio door of the defendant's property, offering a view into the kitchen area, the Liverpool ECHO reports.
