‘Rabbit mutilator jailed’<\/a>

A Sydney financier has been jailed for 16 months for “the worst case” of aggravated cruelty against animals.<\/p>\n

Brendan Francis McMahon, 37, of Tamarama, will have to spend at least 12 months in jail for his torture, mutilation, and alleged sexual offences against 17 rabbits and a guinea pig.<\/p>\n

The magistrate, Ian Barnett, said a strong message should be sent to the community that people such as McMahon could not escape responsibility for their actions by the fact they were psychotic at the time.<\/p>\n

“In my view this is one of the worst case scenarios of aggravated cruelty to animals,” he said.<\/p>\n

He accepted McMahon had a lifelong cannabis addiction and, before and during the offences against the animals, had a $125 a day addiction to methamphetamine (also known as ice).<\/p>\n

“In my view there is community outrage at this matter and someone should not be allowed to commit such offences of aggravated cruelty against animals and say ‘Well I had been using ice at the time. I have been taking cannabis most of my life.’<\/p>\n

“My view is … this is not acceptable.”<\/p>\n

The dead or dying animals, some skinned, were allegedly found in and around McMahon’s York Street office between July and early August last year.<\/p>\n

McMahon ran a financial planning and mortgage brokerage, Meares-McMahon Capital<\/strong>, with Jason Meares, the brother of the swimsuit designer Jodhi Meares, former wife of James Packer<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n
