Just saw this news release, a case of real obscenity. There are some twisted f....rs around but what next?
Man jailed for "squish" movie
LONDON (Reuters) - A man has been jailed for nine months after being found in possession of what police termed "squish" movies showing small animals -- including a kitten -- being glued to the floor and stamped to death. Scotland Yard said in a statement on Friday Brian McCann, 47, was arrested after ordering another 1,500 pounds squish video over the internet -- including a scene of an eight-week-old kitten being skewered by a woman in high heels. Officers investigating the case said the video was one of the most disturbing they had ever seen. "I find it hard to understand why someone would want to watch such a film, yet alone how people could take part in the making of it," Inspector Brian Ward of the Obscene Publications and Internet Team said. McCann pleaded guilty and was convicted of conspiracy to publish an obscene video. Filmed in a pornographic manner, the movies show scenes of extreme cruelty to animals involving mice, guinea pigs and most sickeningly, an eight-week-old kitten, glued to the floor, being crushed to death underfoot, police said. Police said a search of McCann's house in Holloway, north London, yielded three other squish films as well as a large amount of similar material stored on his computer. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), helped with the police investigation. "This video is one of the most abhorrent instances of cruelty that our unit has ever come across. The animals involved forcibly endured a long and traumatic ordeal, which ultimately led to a painful death," Barry Fryer of the RSPCA's special operations unit said.
