No Justice: Wolfie went to the vet with a head injury, weeks later he had 5 broken ribs & the 3rd time for a skull fracture

Archie Spencer's kitten Wolfie finally had to be put to sleep when he was taken to the vets with the skull injury - which is when the RSCPA was alerted.

The 19-year-old, pleaded guilty to two animal welfare offences when he appeared at Birmingham Magistrates’ Court on November 26, in which he admitted causing unnecessary suffering to the cat.

His partner Rebecca Guy, 19, pleaded guilty to one animal welfare offence of failing to protect the cat from pain and suffering, and was given an eight-week jail term suspended for a year.

The court heard how between January 25 and March 28 the couple’s ginger kitten called Wolfie suffered numerous injuries while living in a flat with them.

Guy first took the kitten to a vets with a head injury, weeks later he had five broken ribs and on the third occasion - on March 28 - he had a horrific skull fracture which went from one side of his head to the other. The final injury was so serious the vet decided the kindest thing was to put the four-month old to sleep and, believing the injuries had been caused deliberately, the RSPCA was alerted.

Inspector Kate Parker, who investigated, said: “The pair had always denied harming the cat, however in court Spencer took responsibility for the injuries to Wolfie - although we will never know what actually happened. “What we do know is on three occasions Guy took the cat to the vets with serious injuries, each time claiming they were accidental.

“On the third and final occasion the cat was clearly badly injured. The vet took some video showing poor Wolfie who looks barely alive and when she touched him he reacts, which demonstrates he would have felt pain. “That is when the decision was made to end his suffering and later an X-ray revealed his horrific skull fracture.

“Poor Wolfie was only four months old and in that short life enjoyed so much suffering and pain - it is horrendous to think what he went through. In the end he was barely alive and breathing in his own blood, it was truly awful.

Fuck me, I knew I shouldn't have opened this one. I wasn't prepared for the picture.

My newest kitty baby was about 4 months old when we rescued him in September, and it's been such a joy to see him thrive and recover. He was skin and bones when we found him, and all I could do was hold him and love on him, and ultimately decide to bring him into the family permanently.

I can't fathom how people can do this to a defenseless animal, honestly. These get to me worse than humans being shitty to each other. I should have stayed out.

Give me 8 hours with this little prick

Fuck I hate people! The moment I saw that picture I actually almost threw up. The unbelievable things people do. There is no punishment that could ever be enough for the person who hurt that kitten. I guess the only thing about this is at least he went in peace around people who actually were on his side.

The whole taking the kitten to the vet confuses me. If this shit head is going to abuse the animal why ahead money nursing it back to health?

Girlfriend probably insisted on taking him. Animals abusers aren't any smarter than child abusers when it comes to explaining injuries and they probably thought the vet bought their excuses.

That was a very pretty cat

In order to smash a cat's head like that, he would have had to use a bat or someshit.

That male human-looking thing is obviously, very, broken. And that she-thing stayed with him despite his repeated serious attacks upon her cat. Just what in the hairy fuck.

She was with him? Voluntarily?
