Malik Zoubiri, a 31-year-old resident of Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, has been banned from owning animals for five years after being caught on camera abusing his rottweiler, Dyson. The disturbing footage showed Zoubiri punching and dragging Dyson, prompting an investigation by local authorities. Upon further examination, officials discovered that Zoubiri had subjected Dyson to severe mistreatment, including submerging him in water, throwing weights at him, and neglecting to feed him for days. Tragically, the abuse led to Dyson being euthanized due to behavioral issues stemming from the trauma he endured. Zoubiri appeared at Barkingside Magistrates Court on May 12, where he pleaded guilty to two animal welfare offences. In addition to the ban, he received a 12-month community order requiring him to complete 15 Rehabilitation Activity Requirement days and was ordered to pay £500 in costs, a £180 fine, and a £114 victim surcharge. Inspector Shahnaz Ahmad emphasized the need for kindness towards animals, stating that such abusive behavior will not be tolerated.
