Thug filmed stamping on dog's head 15 times in 'worst beating ever seen'

A thug was caught on video stamping on a dog's head 15 times in the worst beating ever seen by one RSPCA inspector.

Matthew Hurst, 23, from Wigan, was caught on video stamping on his dog with "great force," while shouting "what are you doing" after the dog went to the toilet on the floor, a court heard. In the same video he was then seen grabbing its head and slamming it into the floor.

The video was sent to the RSPCA in April by a member of the public and RSPCA inspector Ryan Kind described the beating as "the worst" he had "ever seen."
