A "SADISTIC" farmer who dragged his husky along the ground tied to his car before dumping it to die was arrested in the barber's chair. <\/p>\n
Kim Norman Rendall, 65, was caught by officers a short time after the horrific act, as he sat for a haircut and cup of tea with his trainers still covered in blood.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n
Rendall avoided jail with a suspended sentence on Tuesday at Bristol Crown Court after a shocking video emerged of him dragging the dog as it was \u201cscrabbling to try and stay up\u201d in \u201ccomplete distress\u201d.<\/p>\n
The nine-year-old white husky, Daisy, was left with open wounds after the brutal incident near Bath on April 17 and had to be euthanised by vets.<\/p>\n
Motorists had seen the dog being dragged behind the red Nissan Micra through the town of High Littleton and notified police.<\/p>\n
New video shows the farmer being arrested soon after on suspicion of animal cruelty while in the barber's chair getting a haircut from his sister.<\/p>\n
The short 14-second clip shows a frizzy-haired Rendall with a purple hairdressing cape tied around his shoulders.<\/p>\n Rendall was rude and aggressive to officers and refused to tell them where the pooch was as they desperately tried to find and save her.<\/p>\n Officers found Daisy's blood on his trainers.<\/p>\n The farmer was sentenced to eight months in prison, suspended for two years, and ordered to do 300 hours of unpaid work.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n He was also ordered to pay \u00a35k costs and given a 20-year disqualification from having or keeping animals with the exception of cattle, and fish.<\/p>\n Rendall tried to defend himself by putting his actions down to "social awkwardness".<\/p>\n But, Judge Michael Longman dismissed the excuse as not beginning to "explain or mitigate your behaviour" and had said Rendall had shown an "arrogant disdain" toward the dog.<\/p>\n Judge Longman said obstructing the police who were trying to get medical help for the dog as '"truly dreadful".<\/p>\n "I don't believe that you were devastated. You showed a deliberate disregard for Daisy's welfare in failing to seek treatment."<\/p>\n Rendall had pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to two counts of causing the unnecessary suffering of an animal contrary to the Animal Welfare Act.<\/p>\n Dashcam footage released by the RSPCA showed Daisy \u201cbouncing\u201d along the road.<\/p>\n Jessica Kelly, who was\u00a0driving\u00a0behind Rendall who was driving at an average 11mph, said in a witness statement: \u201cI was screaming, panicking and desperately trying to get the man to stop.<\/p>\n \u201cI was horrified by the blood on the road and the length of time it went on.\u201d<\/p>\n Distressed locals stopped and confronted him while Daisy bled onto the road and attempted to stand up.<\/p>\n Prosecutors said he drove for around 55 seconds – covering a distance of appoximately 200 metres before putting her into a bin and then into the car boot.<\/p>\n The dog was left bleeding heavily with its skin ripped from its paws and hind legs.<\/p>\n 18 police officers and a drone unit were deployed to locate Daisy, in a two-and-a-half-hour hunt in the Somerset countryside. <\/p>\n She was eventually located in a cow barn in Gossard Lane, High Littleton.<\/p>\n Vets attempted to save the dog's life but due to terrible pain she was put down nine days later.<\/p>\n PC Natalie Cosgrove described Daisy's injuries as "the worst thing I have ever seen" and it made her "feel physically sick".<\/p>\n "I felt shocked, I couldn't sleep and I cried… I hugged my own dog crying in sympathy for Daisy", she told the court previously in a victim person statement.<\/p>\n "This is one of those jobs that will haunt me forever."<\/p>\n Lindi Meyer, prosecuting for the RSPCA, told how Rendall was reported to cops who went to his nearby home and found him having a cup of tea and getting his haircut by his sister.<\/p>\n He \u201csadistically\u201d refused to tell officers where the dog was and lied by saying it was in the back of his car.<\/p>\n<\/picture>LOTTO SADNESS <\/span><\/p>\n
