Shocking video of man encouraging dog to kill domestic rat

Shocking video shows a man encouraging his dog to kill a domestic rat - as he filmed it on his phone.

Liam Fair is seen shouting at his lurcher to attack the rodent - while he suspended it from its tail and swung it round.

Fair, from Crieff, Scotland, pleaded guilty to goading a dog to bite, attack and kill a domestic rat.

He also admitted to failing to meet the needs of five puppies, three dogs and a kitten at his home in Crieff, in October 2022.
