Adam Britton, a leading zoologist who has worked on BBC and National Geographic productions, pleaded guilty to 56 charges relating to bestiality and animal cruelty.
He also admitted to four counts of accessing child abuse material.
The Northern Territory (NT) Supreme Court heard the 53-year-old filmed himself torturing the animals until almost all died, and then shared the videos online under pseudonyms.
His abuse went unnoticed for years, until a clue was found in one of his videos. Britton was arrested in April 2022 after a search of his rural Darwin property, which also uncovered child abuse material on his laptop.
Why? The term itself has become almost totally devalued after a decade of conservatives labeling everyone with it. When I see the word now I just think it identifies the information as clickbait or propaganda.
Because it’s a fact. You know, the thing the news is supposed to report on.
It does report on that. It just didn’t put it in the headline.
That is my point, yes.
