At the Supreme Court of the Northern Territory, he also admitted to s£xually abusing his own Swiss Shepherd pets, Ursa and Bolt, for almost a decade.
The academic at Charles Darwin University in northern Australia once hosted broadcaster David Attenborough at his home.
Britton would even film himself torturing the defenceless animals in what he called his “torture room” until most of them died before posting the sick material online, the court heard.
