Dog Risks Life In Rescue

Teenager Thomas Fletcher Sentenced for Dog Sex

GR.co.uk- A former Reading teenager has escaped jail after having sex with a dog.

Nineteen-year-old Thomas Fletcher sexually abused Rosie the sheepdog who belonged to his foster carers.

His sick act was recorded on a voice-activated dictaphone during the incident at the house in Eton Wick in March, last year, when his foster mother became suspicious of why her two dogs were acting as if they were frightened of Fletcher.

Retriever collie cross Ralph was forced to watch as Fletcher struck after breaking into the locked bedroom.

The disturbed youth maintained his innocence but was unanimously convicted of two acts of bestiality after a trial in March this year.

He faced sentence this morning.

Suzanne Francis, defending, said her client’s actions was due to a huge testosterone surge following years of anorexia.

She said: “Mr Fletcher was in hospital for more than three years suffering from the eating disorder after witnessing an incident that led to the separation of his parents which I will not go into in court.

“He was incredibly close to death at one point weighing only three-and-a-half stone but almost 5ft tall and was discharged shortly before the incident took place.

“His doctor has explained it to me like a Russian gymnast who after years of training suddenly stops and goes through an intensely quick puberty leading to a huge testosterone surge.”

Fletcher had been predicted a B and two Cs in his A-levels at Henley College before he was advised to leave.

Following his conviction he was advised to leave Reading YMCA where he was staying and Henley College for his own safety. He is now living in Gloucester.

Alexander Mills, prosecuting, also advised Fletcher is banned from owning, keeping or working with dogs.

Sentencing, Judge Charles Elly said: “You were convicted by a jury of two counts of sexual intercourse with an animal.

“Both took place one afternoon on March 19, last year, when you were left alone in the home by Mr and Mrs Sharp.

“The dogs had been locked in the bedroom due to the concerns the couple had with your behaviour and a digital audio recorder was left on.

“Although there were two dogs in the room, the offences committed were only on Rosie.

“Your actions have destroyed an opportunity that was given to you.”

Fletcher, who the court heard had also tried to commit suicide by slashing his neck, warned he would kill himself if he were imprisoned.

He was given a two-year supervision order with a 60-day education and training activity requirement and an ASBO preventing him from owning, keeping or working with dogs.

Unruly Dog Drags Owner To Tragic Train Death

SO sad..

HAYWARD, Calif. -- A woman was struck and killed by a Capital Corridor train in Hayward when the dog she was walking dragged her onto the tracks and into the path of the oncoming locomotive, according to authorities.

The fatal accident took place just hours after a pedestrian died from being struck by an Amtrak train in Berkeley.

According to Alameda County Sheriff’s Department Sgt. J.D. Nelson, at about 2:15 p.m. two people with a dog were attempting to cross the tracks ahead of an approaching train just north of the Hayward Station near the intersection of West Blossom Way and Meekland Avenue.

"The crossing guards were down. The gentleman was able to make it through," Nelson explained. "She tried to stop, realizing she probably couldn’t make it and the dog dragged itself and her into the train."

Amtrak's Capitol Corridor train No. 535, bound for San Jose, was likely traveling at approximately 70 miles per hour when it struck and instantly killed both the woman and the dog, a pit bull.

Nelson said the woman, in her early-to-mid 30s, was unable to simply let the dog go because of how she had the leash wrapped around her hand.

A number of distraught family members were on the scene of the crash early Thursday evening. Family members identified the woman as 31-year-old Vida Silver. Relatives told KTVU Silver and the 100-pound pit bull named Mama were inseperable.

"Her dog was her baby. Everywhere she went, the dog went," said Silver's cousin Tonya Neves. "The dog was always there."

NFL Roundup Falcons Owner Suggests Vick Could Eventually Play Again

Fuck hiiiim!

Instead of letting him play again and get paid his millions, they should do it Gladiator-style and make him play himself to death like the dogs that he had kill eachother..

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Arthur Blank, the owner of the Atlanta Falcons, suggested on Wednesday that his team’s former star quarterback, Michael Vick, deserved a chance to play in the N.F.L. again — eventually.

Vick left a federal prison Wednesday to head to Virginia for two months of home confinement. He has missed two seasons because of his role in a dogfighting ring.

“There is no question Michael has paid his debt to society,” Blank said. “But the commissioner has to decide if Michael has not only personal remorse, but has conducted himself not only personally but who he is associating with in a way that is going to allow him to be a player in the N.F.L. and represent our league well.”

He added: “Clearly based on what happened over a number of years, a lot of issues were related to acts he has to take responsibility for, and I believe he has. But what contributed a great deal is people Michael spent time with and the influence they had on him. His ability to separate those people who can be helpful and those who have another agenda — that’s going to be very critical for Michael now.

“You are what you eat? To some extent, you are who you hang with, too.” (rest of article)
