THIS is the shocking moment a vile woman battered her French bulldogs with a spade after keeping 20 animals locked up.
Elizabeth Perrin was captured beating the defenceless animals in the garden of her home in Dukinfield, Greater Manchester.

The sick 52-year-old was then heard shouting "next one" as she continued the horrific rampage.
One of the dogs was knocked to the ground and another had to be put down after suffering gash wounds.
Perrin was also caught on video hitting the animals with a broom in a year-long campaign of abuse.
When RSPCA officers attended the home, they discovered 20 dogs that had been kept in cramped conditions.
One of the French bulldogs, named Wizza, was found lying on the sofa injured.
Inspector Ryan King said: "There was a bad smell coming from him, on closer inspection I noticed a number of puncture wounds on his front legs, there was some blood around his ears and further puncture wounds around his groin."
Wizza was taken to a vet but had to be put to sleep two days later to end his suffering.
Perrin and her partner Trevor Hague both appeared at Tameside Magistrates' Court charged with abuse offences.
The mum admitted causing unnecessary suffering to three dogs by inflicting blunt force trauma and physical violence.
She also pleaded guilty to failing to ensure their needs were met by housing them away from other animals.
But magistrates decided against banning her from keeping animals because her two children have special needs, which benefit from having support dogs.
The court was told Inspector King was called to the home in November 2021 following reports a number of dogs were fighting.
Perrin and Hague told him they had 20 dogs in total and showed them around an open plan area where a number of the pets were kept.
A month later, the officer was handed two videos - one showing Perrin hitting the dogs with a broom and another clip of Hague kicking one of the animals.
The vile couple claimed they 'only hit or kick the dogs to split them up when fighting" and signed two of the pets over to the RSCPA.
But Inspector King received a video a month later of Perrin smacking the dogs with a spade.
He said: "On the first swing I could hear a dull thud as she made contact with something. On the second swing there was more of a harsh sound and a slight sound of a dog yelping.
'She swings the spade down on three dogs that are in the corner, hitting two of the dogs on the head. One is hit with such force that is knocked off its feet onto its back and struggles to get up for a second.
'She then turns around, pauses, looks round at the dogs and shouts 'next one'.'
A veterinary expert said the dogs would have been 'caused to suffer' from blunt force trauma.
He added the welfare needs of a number of other dogs kept by Perrin had not been met because they were not sufficiently separated from each other.
Perrin was made subject to a 12-month community order, a 16-week night-time curfew and ordered to pay £700 costs.
Inspector King said after the case: 'Having to see that video of someone deliberately inflicting pain on an animal with a weapon was awful.
'There is no excuse for this behaviour towards an animal. It really does defy belief that someone could behave in this way.
"Animals deserve to be shown kindness and respect.'

Mother of Baby P would pose a 'high risk' if she was ever around children once freed, parole board warns

Baby P's monster mother could pose a high risk if she were freed and allowed near children, experts fear. Tracey Connelly's toddler son died at home in Tottenham, north London, on August 3, 2007, and she pleaded guilty to causing or allowing the death of a child in 2008. The 43-year-old launched a fresh bid for freedom earlier this year after she was sent back to jail for breaching licence conditions. But in a judgement ordering that a two-day parole hearing is heard in public, the Parole Board said it will assess whether her risk of violence remains low, The Mirror reports. 'But risk would be high and potentially imminent if she were to have access to children while other risk factors are present', the judgement said. 'Miss Connelly, in interview, has stated that she will not be seeking unconditional release due to the support she would lose'. Documents also claim she suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and was subjected to 'bullying and aggression' after her recall to prison. Her solicitor had fought for the upcoming parole hearing to be held in private. The report states: 'He submits that a public hearing will only exacerbate these issues and will have a significant and detrimental effect upon Ms Connelly's ability to five effective and accurate evidence at the hearing'. The disgraced mother was hauled back to jail in September for breaching her jail conditions and was promised an oral parole hearing. She was handed an indefinite sentence with a minimum term of five years in 2009, after covering up her 17-month-old son Peter's injuries caused by her twister lover. Connelly has struggled to stay out of trouble since her initial release in 2013, having repeatedly breached licence conditions. The vile mum was first recalled to prison in 20155 after selling naked photos of herself online to depraved male admirers - and was released again in July 2022. It was revealed back in April that she may be free again by the end of the year. A date has not yet been set for her parole hearing, but it is believed it will take place around late summer - in August or September. The parole board could decide to release her there and then, depending on the circumstances surrounding how she was recalled and her behaviour since. They may also direct a hearing to take place, where a panel will decide after assessing various pieces of material, evidence and information. Connelly previously claimed that cops over-reacted when they recalled her to prison for a second time, saying the breaches of her licence conditions were minimal. Her lawyers have also insisted she is no longer a danger to the public. Connelly's lover Steven Barker was jailed in 2009 for a minimum of 12 years while his brother, Jason Owen, received a six-year jail sentence for allowing the toddler to die. When Connolly was first released, she was made subject to 20 licence conditions, including having to wear an electronic tag and disclose all her relationships, having her internet use monitored or obeying curfew. She was also banned from going to certain places to 'avoid contact with victims and to protect children'. The Parole Board said that she had been cleared due to a low risk of reoffending and that probation officers and prison officials supported the plan. It will now be a matter for the Board to decide if the latest breach of her conditions was so serious that she should not be released. A Parole Board spokesperson said back in April: 'It's been directed to an oral hearing now but no hearing date has been set yet.'

One year ago, a furious mob rioted in Rotherham. Locals fear another outbreak of violence

A year has passed, but Paris and Josh still cannot quite believe what they witnessed last August. They live 200m from a hotel on the edge of a quiet residential street. "It looked like a modern-day lynching," Paris says. It's the only way she can describe the sickening scene that unfolded as a furious mob tried to attack asylum seekers being housed in the Holiday Inn Express north of Rotherham. 1:40 After seeing masked men setting fires and storming into the hotel, Paris says she was afraid they were going to see "either someone getting thrown out a window, or someone getting dragged outside". Josh remembers looking out of his bedroom window and thinking: "What is England coming to? What is going on?" "It was like they were going to a festival," Paris says. "They had ski masks on and bags full of alcohol, people were taking the kids, like they had the kids on their shoulders." To protect their car, Josh drove it off his driveway to another street nearby. They then retreated inside and watched six or seven hours of chaos unfold. It was one of the most serious outbursts of rioting during a week last August when disorder spread through towns and cities. Days after the knife attack which left three school girls dead in Southport, years of deep-rooted frustration about immigration boiled over. Twelve months on, the Holiday Inn Express next to Josh and Paris' home has reopened as a regular hotel, but the tension that has been seen around other migrant hotels recently hasn't disappeared. "I still see in groups (online) all this hate being spilled," Josh says. "I think it probably could happen again," Paris adds. "That's the faith I have in the country, really." The courts have handed out lengthy prison sentences to those involved in the disorder, leading to rows about whether they match the crimes people committed. The mayor of South Yorkshire says tensions over immigration remain unresolved and told Sky News he believes migrants, hotel workers or police officers could have been killed last August. "Had they [rioters] been more effective at doing some of the things they were trying to do, we would have seen people dying on the day," Oliver Coppard says. "What it speaks to, in my mind, is the poverty that we see in some of our communities, which feeds a sense of grievance." Mr Coppard - who has responsibility for policing in South Yorkshire - added: "Ultimately what we need in this country is a better approach to cohesion, to community integration so people are supported to live full lives within our communities and a proper and legal approach to asylum. "Those things are incredibly toxic and politics is not doing a good job I think of dealing with those issues." Protests around other migrant hotels in recent weeks show that the grievances of last summer still hang in the air. In Rotherham market we meet 23-year-old scaffolder Josh. "I don't think it has been solved," he says. When I asked him how that makes people feel, he replies: "Angry because it makes people want to riot again." He says he has no issue with people who move to the UK legally to work, but adds it is "unfair" when people arrive on small boats and receive hotel accommodation while their asylum cases are processed. Gabriel, 38, who was born in Rotherham, says he feels people look at him differently since last summer's disorder. "I couldn't see anybody smiling at me like they used to before the riot, they are putting every minority in the same box which is wrong," he says. "There is still a bit of aftermath, anger, rage, upset - in everybody's eyes. "That tension alone is worse than the actual incident because before, I think, it was hidden but now it is out there." A woman who didn't want to be named says: "The backlash is going to happen with the government against the people - the people against the government, it is not right. "The way I see it, we all have to live together ... we bleed the same blood, we breathe the same air." That spirit of conciliation and tolerance is less common than it once was - it is a hallmark of a failed immigration system that has left deep-rooted frustration in communities across the UK.

Princess Anne's attempted kidnapper released from psychiatric hospital

A man who attempted to kidnap Princess Anne and shot four people has been freed from Broadmoor Hospital. Ian Ball, who stalked the Princess and ambushed her limousine in March 1974, also attacked the men who came to her rescue. He admitted attempted kidnap and two attempted murders when he was brought before the Old Bailey and was sentenced aged 26. Ball, who was deemed mentally ill, was detained 'without limit of time' under the Mental Health Act but the Daily Mail has reported he has been released from Broadmoor. He was released on probation in 2019. Ball, 77, in an interview with the Daily Mail, said: 'I'm an innocent, sane man because I had good reason to believe the gunpowder had been taken out of the bullets and another girl had been substituted for Princess Anne.' Ball claimed it would be a 'waste of time' to apologise to the men he shot, and said of Anne, who had two guns waved in her face: 'She wasn't bothered on the night... I didn't scare her. I was more scared than she was.' It has been reported that the Princess Royal and royal security chiefs have been informed of Ball's release. Buckingham Palace declined to comment. During the hearing at the Old Bailey in May 1974, two months after the incident, he did not deny the charges brought against him including attempted kidnap, attempting to murder two policemen, and wounding a chauffeur along with a journalist. He confirmed that he brought the Princess's car to a halt by skidding his Ford Escort then held her up by gunpoint, grabbed her arm and threatened to shoot her. Ball held her by the right arm and the Princess's then-husband, Captain Mark Phillips, pulled her by the left arm, ripping her velvet dress. Ball shot her police bodyguard, her chauffeur, a police constable and a journalist who rushed to help. The Princess refused to leave the car, famously saying: 'Not bloody likely.' In his self-published 'autobiographical novel', To Kidnap A Princess, Ball has claimed his innocence. A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: 'Restricted patients can be recalled to hospital if their mental health deteriorates such that the risk they pose becomes unmanageable in the community.' Ball claimed the kidnap 'hoax' was set up with a police officer known as Frank. He was never found, although Ball claimed it was Frank who removed the gunpowder from his bullets and substituted another woman for the Princess. He said: 'The whole idea of performing the hoax was to get the publicity so I could write my autobiography, and I expected to get £10,000 in royalties.'
