Kristen and Todd Cooper, two brothers with a penchant for cruelty, were recently sentenced to jail for their heinous acts against innocent animals. Their actions had been going on for a period of two years, during which they roamed around a national park, capturing and torturing wildlife. These disturbing acts were not only carried out in secret, but were also documented by the brothers themselves, who seemed to take great pleasure in their barbaric acts.
The Coopers' videos, which were shown in court, depicted horrifying scenes of animal abuse. One particularly disturbing incident involved the mutilation of a deer's genitals, while another showed a deer being stabbed in the eye. The brothers also ordered a dog to attack a helpless hare, leaving the poor animal with no chance of escape.
The severity of their actions was not lost on the authorities, with a vet testifying that it was the worst case of animal abuse he had seen in his 24-year career. Even a detective, who had encountered his fair share of horrific crimes, described the Coopers' acts as some of the most horrifying offences he had ever investigated.
These sadistic incidents mainly took place under the cover of darkness in rural areas of the New Forest, where the brothers seemed to relish in the isolation and secrecy. One video showed a man dragging a deer by its antlers, despite the animal clearly showing signs of spinal injuries. In another disturbing clip, the Coopers were seen holding down a deer while repeatedly striking it in the head with a blunt wooden object.
The siblings' actions were not just confined to animal cruelty. They were also found to be involved in other illegal activities, including assault and weapons offences. In fact, the Coopers' violent tendencies were not limited to animals. Just days after their arrest, they were released on bail, only to attack a mother and her son outside a supermarket in Bransgore. In court, the mother described how she genuinely believed that the brothers wanted to kill her and her son.
During the trial, it was revealed that the Coopers had also taken part in coursing, a cruel sport in which dogs are set on hares. In one of their videos, Kristen was seen holding a captured hare while commanding a dog to attack it. The most disturbing part was that there were other people present who seemed to find the entire ordeal amusing.
The court also heard about the Coopers' upbringing in the New Forest, which made their actions even more shocking. One would expect that growing up in such a beautiful and serene area would instill a sense of respect and compassion for nature and its creatures. However, the brothers seemed to have no regard for the suffering they caused to these defenseless animals.
In the end, Kristen and Todd Cooper were sentenced to jail for their despicable acts. Kristen, who was the primary instigator, received a five-year sentence and was banned from owning a dog for 10 years. Todd, who was also involved in the torture of a deer, was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in jail.
As the judge handed down the sentence, he expressed his disappointment in the brothers' lack of respect for the animals and their surroundings, given their upbringing in the New Forest. It was a stark reminder that one's actions can have far-reaching consequences, and that cruelty towards animals will not be tolerated in any form.
