Three youths stamp fawn to death

Keith Arthurs was walking his dog when he saw the fawn stamped to death

A dog walker has spoken of the horror of witnessing three youths stamp a new born deer to death in a park in Dorset.

Keith Arthurs was walking his dog in Upton Country Park, near Poole, when he saw three teenage boys wearing hoods attack the fawn on Wednesday night.

He did not intervene for fear of being injured. The RSPCA collected the body and took it to Lynwood Vets in Wareham. Police are appealing for the public's help in finding the boys. Mr Arthurs said: "I was disgusted and horrified."

He added: "One of them hit the fawn across his head. "Then they dropped it on the floor and they all took turns stamping on it. "It [went] on for a few minutes."

The area is popular with walkers and cyclists.

Pc John Snellin, wildlife officer for Dorset Police, said: "Twenty-three years I have been in the force and I don't think, in all honesty, I have seen anything quite as barbaric and horrendous as this.

"It worries me what these youngsters might go on to do."

I’ll tell you what the future holds for those three: they will be abusers and murderers.

Time for a tall tree and a short rope.

[DieHard the Hunter]

This is just ugly. Psychopaths in the making.

[conservative cat]

What is wrong with the U.K? They are raising sociopaths over there (more so than we are, even.)

[exist]

Time for a tall tree and a short rope.

Surely rehab and sensitivity training will do the trick.

What, were they trying to prevent Thumper from being able to ID them in a lineup?

[MediaMole]

Even worse, if the guy had tried to intervene, he would have been charged with assault.

[Humidston]

...Just when I think it can’t get any worse.

They need to ban shoes immediately.

[Secret Agent Man]

Those kids need to be shot before they murder people. Better yet, death by stampede.

[pandoraou812]

Serial killers often start by killing animals in their youth. Nothing good will come of these scummers.

[Secret Agent Man]

People are going to start dealing with people like this like they do with coyotes. Very soon when the SHTF.

[Steelfish]

The UK is transforming into a society that will kill The Lamb of God.

[ruination]

Or a short rope and a trailer hitch.

[Blue Jays]

That is a special blend of sociopathic and psychotic behavior.
These kids will eventually target humans in the identical way.

Psychopaths in the making.

Sounds like these ones are already there.

This makes me sick. We had a Mom drop her fawn next door. It was out there for hours until Mom came back. The cutie only moved her nose while I snapped this photo.
