An Australian court heard Adam Britton filmed himself torturing dozens of dogs until almost all died.
He would then post videos of the incidents online, where he also accessed child abuse material.
A leading zoologist who has worked on BBC and National Geographic productions, Mr Britton will be sentenced at a later date.
At a hearing in the Northern Territory (NT) Supreme Court on Monday, prosecutors laid out the case against him.
Much of the details of Mr Britton's crimes are too graphic to publish, and so "grotesque" the judge warned people to leave the courtroom.
For those who didn't read the article, he sexually tortured dozens (if not hundreds) of dogs to death in a storage container. This isn't a "kink". They need to be checking his DNA for matches in unsolved murder cases.
British Steve Irwin is not as fun…
Also, this was 100% a standin for people.
Jesus, WTF
What. The. Actual. Fuck.
What in the actual fuck? Calling this deeply disturbing would be an understatement. Time to unsubscribe from news for a little while so my soul can heal.
They should probably dig up his back yard, just a suspicion.
This fucking boils my blood. It's cases like this where I wish "an eye for an eye" punishment was an option.
The BBC has a real problem with sexual abusers working for them, and them covering up for the abusers.
How can you be an expert on a type of shoe?
Wew
People have the weirdest sexuality.
I feel like using the word "people" here is too broad.
I am questioning the word "weird" and "sexuality"
Sexual exploitation of dogs and killing them is not weird sexuality, its a psychopathic behavior. It's clearly someone who want to do it to kids but cannot so they did it to animals…
