Jail for Essex father who struck dog with meat cleaver

A father-of-two who shot his dog at least 17 times with an air rifle before repeatedly striking it in the head with a meat cleaver has been jailed. Magistrates in Colchester heard how Andrew Summerfield, from Colchester, left his bull terrier Barney on the A12 with "horrific" injuries on 10 July last year. Summerfield admitted the offences but said he had acted in self defence. The RSPCA welcomed the sentence of six-and-a-half months in prison. (Excuse me?! 6 1/2 months?!)
