The allegations against him stated how he used to call these dogs “f*ck toys,” and filmed himself, and then post the videos on social media. Reportedly, out of the 42 dogs that he abused and tortured, 39 of them tragically passed away. Furthermore, he was also arrested for “accessing and transmitting” child abuse material on the internet. As per the allegations against him, Adam Britton has also s*xually harassed his own dogs, Ursa and Bolt, repeatedly.
