What a sick twisted piece of garbage - an unbelievable tale. Hopefully he'll get treated by the other inmates the way he treated those poor dogs but with any luck they'll be even more cruel. I hope he lives in abject fear every day for the rest of his miserable life...

After all the recent news, and now this, think come to the conclusion that the world has gone bonkers

Bonkers indeed, with regards to the almost insatiable need people seem have to read about and share these things. That in itself is a perversion, I think.
There have always been unpleasant characters doing unpleasant things, who were punished when caught. It's the sharing of the details via social media that's the new weird.

VSS - would you prefer stories like this were suppressed and hidden?

Not at all. It's been reported by the mainstream media in the part of the world where it's relevant, and I should say that's enough.
What strikes me as odd - and not a little disturbing - is when someone from the other side of the world with, presumably, no connection with the criminal or the people affected by the crime, comes across an article of particular sexual depravity (no pun intended), and decides to share it with his circle of social media acquaintances. It is often the same people who share the same type of content time after time, which suggests a certain unhealthy fascination with a particular type of crime.
Out of all the people who read the report as a result of it being shared beyond what was necessary or appropriate, a few will share it again, and so on. And a few will have their interest sufficiently piqued (I hesitate to use the word "aroused") that they dig a bit deeper into the case in an attempt to get a glimpse of the type of atrocity that was committed and shared in the first place. And so it goes on. Copycat crimes are rife. Look at reports into events such as the Plymouth shootings or other such terrible events, and it'll often come out that the perpetrator had a fascination with a particular type of crime that was fuelled by repeatedly viewing multiple social media posts relating to similar atrocities.
It would appear in many cases, particularly sexual ones, that the perpetrators get their gratification from sharing explicit material via social media, and I think that sharing reports like this on social media, beyond what's actually reasonable, is simply feeding the depravity.
 
It goes to prove the wise words, adage, maxim, whatever you want to title it as. It is this:

Everyone has three lives. A public life, a private life, and a secret life.

I’m still completely lost how the BBC reporting the abhorrent criminal behaviour of a man that’s shared by another is somehow bad. Awareness works reducing the opportunity for another to try similar or continue.

It would have been the Old weird if there had been the internet a long time ago.

Very true, although never heard it before.

What I don't fathom is how someone starts off on the route this guy took. There must have been a pivotal moment.
