Drunk killed dog in washing machine
Wednesday 19th March 2008, 11:44AM GMT.
Drunken dog owner Andrew Glazzard killed his pet by putting it into a washing machine “to teach it a lesson” after it made a mess, a court heard.
The dog Maisie had survived an earlier ordeal in the machine but Glazzard put her back in when he noticed her tail was still wagging. The dog died when Glazzard fell asleep before switching off the machine. He then put the animal’s body in a bag and threw it into the River Stour, the court heard.
Glazzard, aged 41, of Pine Court, Cemetery Road, Lye, Stourbridge, was warned he could face jail when he appeared before Halesowen magistrates yesterday. He indicated a guilty plea to causing unnecessary suffering to an animal through his solicitor.
The 41-year-old also admitted a separate charge of possessing cannabis resin.
Magistrates adjourned the case until April 9 for a pre-sentence report and said while a high community punishment was under consideration, custody was not being ruled out.
Magistrates heard Glazzard had returned home drunk on November 27 last year to discover his dog, Maisie, had defecated inside the property.
Mr Mark Cooper, prosecuting, said: “To teach the dog a lesson he put it in the washing machine and turned it on for a few seconds.
“When he took the dog out he noticed her tail was still wagging so he put her inside the machine again. However this time he fell asleep.
“He awoke to find the dog dead inside the washing machine. He then put the body into a bag and threw it into the River Stour.”
Mr Cooper said Glazzard admitted the cruelty offence to police after being arrested in Stourbridge on November 29 after he became abusive to community support officers.
He also admitted to possessing the cannabis resin in interview.
Mr Sunil Jagatia, defending, said his client, who has a drink problem, had been on the way to the police station to admit what he had done when he encountered the support officers.

What a disgrace much of “humanity” has become. (Ever noticed that the term “inhumane” typically refers to acts so heinous they’d never be attributed to any creature other than a human? A tad hypocritical, methinks.)

Well said Phil 13. After all you only get 5 months for killing a horse so a little dog is probably worth a couple of hours. Is this one going to go to a “young offenders” ???? he is over 18.

why do people say ”oh well he was drunk ” orwhy does such a thing get taken into acocunt at all?, im over 40 years old and have had my share of drunkenness and i mean driunk but there is no way on earth i could have done that to an animal….i would hang the guy if i were a judge

Right this really angers me. When an animal attacks a human being they are put to sleep, so why does this not work the other way round if you kill someone or something then you should be killed not sent to prison to have a life of riley with tax payers money, if the courts would bring it back that rape, murder, child molesting the person should have a lethal injection then that would free up space in the prisons for lesser crimes. And when a punishment is given they should carry out the full sentence not half for good behaviour, if your given 10 years then thats what you serve. THIS COUNTRY IS PATHETIC WHERES THE BACK BONE?????

I believe in karma so he will get his comupence. Hope his liver packs up or he’s chucked in the canal. would be apt.
Sorry for strength of comment but these people are spineless and should be taken out the gene pool.

Maximum penalty for cruelty to animals is 51 weeks in prison a £20,000 fine and bananed for life from keeping animals – bought in under the animal welfare act in 2007… Now lets see if this judge gives the maximum sentence, and make the meaning of the word ‘wel-fare’ mean just that – fare. And when hes served the max sentence, stick him in an army uniform and send HIM to war the sick, bullying, vile acolhol soaked excuse for a man! and what kind of solicitor would want to DEFEND this peice of ….

This “man” should be hung, drawn and quartered, canned

This will be interesting. The scumbag that cut the horse up is getting 5 months of which he only has to serve half, then he will be back on our streets on probation for the other half!!!!
SOMETHING HAS GOT TO BE DONE! THE LAW NEEDS TO CHANGE – NOW!!!!!

Given that the Appleby horse murderer got only 28 (of which he’ll serve maybe half – 2 weeks!) for drowing a horse by forcing its head under water, I hold out little hope that a proper sentence will be given in this case. It’s only when society gives an animal’s life the respect it deserves, up there closer to a human’s , that this sort of sickening act will be seen in its true ghastly light by all. What would have been the reaction, can you imagine, if this had been a child instead of a “mere” dog?

Helena – Maximum penalty for cruelty to animals is 51 weeks in prison a £20,000 fine and bananed for life from keeping animals – We wish eh!!!! Matthew Corfield chased a horse around until it broke it’s leg trying to escape and then he cut it up with a butchers knife – he got 5 months and only has to serve half in prison, no fine and he has not been banned from keeping animals – CRAZY WORLD.

Couldn’t believe this story when I read it today, the sick individuals that do this to animals should be given the death sentance, why should we tax payers fork out for him or M Corfield to exist in a prison, these people MAKE ME SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is disgusting – I have never heard anything so cruel in my entire life – its makes you wish you could have been there for the poor little thing to rescue them and take them away to a loving home – its not suprising poor Maisie made a mess she must have been locked up for god knows how long!
I have actually met this man – only before I had found out what he had done! If I had of known when I met him I would have told him what I thought of him – I hope he rots in hell – and I really mean that. I hope they throw away the key. If he doesnt get sent down I hope he dies a slow painful death – I know that it an awful thing to say, but anyone who can do that do a lovely defenceless animal deserves no more. Evil!

That sicko needs to be locked up for good, reading this really made my stomach turn. The fact that he got rid of the animal the way he did aswell is also so disrespectful.
Seeing pictures of the washing machine with bite marks on the inside really made my heart sink, i hope alchohol kills that man.

I gave my dog to a so called friend for 2 weeks as I was going on holiday. When I got back was told by police that my dog was thrown over motorway fence and was struck 3 times, the body was never found. And the police have not found him there are some sick people in this world very evil.
