1 Bitch 9 Pups

"The contents of the videos is abhorrent. If members of the public came across this material they would be revolted. It is incomprehensible that an individual could imagine such acts let alone carry them out. The depravity is deeply disturbing."

- Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Jon Beer describes the video's content.

1 Bitch 9 Pups is a series of zoosadistic shock videos made by Lucas Russell VanWoert from McMinns Lagoon, Australia.

Although the video series was not given a name at first, it was eventually named "1 Bitch 9 Pups" by Dredderf (also known as Coolgnomechannel or Coolgnome).

The suspect behind the footage series is a 51-year-old Australian man named Lucas Russell VanWoert (who also went by the user name "Cerberus" on Telegram) who is believed to have tortured, mutilated, raped, and killed between 20 to 25 dogs within the span of several years. Most dogs he killed were identified as pit bulls, and according to his Telegram chat comment, he loves pit bulls and especially pit bull mixes because they "fucking eat everything". After killing the dogs, he would keep most of their bodies in baskets. Occasionally, he would cook and roast a few of the dead dogs and feed them to his new victims.

Origin
The torture and murder of the female dog and her litter of nine pups took place on November 2021. Around the same day, the killer recorded his killings with several video clips and uploaded them to a Telegram group chat of "zoosadists" and zoophiles. The Telegram chat where the killer participates was owned by Solid Cum Enjoyer, who was also a zoosadist and lived at Kaunas, Lithuania.

1 Bitch 9 Pups was originally made as a series of 10 short chronological videos recording each animal's death. When the videos are combined, they amount to a total of 15 full minutes of animal torture.

Spread
Somewhere at the end of 2021, the video series was first shared by an unknown user at the private gore forum site DeathAddict.

Nearly four months after the video's release, on March 1, 2022, a user named ᴊᴀψᴅᴏɴ gained access to the Telegram chat and discovered the 1 Bitch 9 Pups video series, and transferred all the video files (except for two other pup death videos) to the gore forum website Goreflix. The post gained over 2,000 views.

A few weeks later, a user named Dredderf found the videos from the specific Goreflix thread and saved all the video clips, including two missing clips, and merged the videos into one whole compilation. On March 22, when Dredderf finished combining all the video clips, he, under the name of Coolgnomechannel, shared the full video on the gore site GoreDB to spread awareness in hopes of getting the killer doxxed or arrested. The video on GoreDB gained more than 6,500 views. The video was later brought to attention in the same month by online communities (mainly KiwiFarms and numerous "NSFW" communities on Reddit) due to its horrifically disturbing and inhumane content. The reaction of people who witnessed the videos was overwhelming, and the videos caused trauma and outrage among its viewers; even users who were used graphic imagery couldn't handle the videos' content.

A week after the video was published, GoreDB took it down for violating the site's anti-animal cruelty policy. Despite this, eight video files were still available on their original Goreflix thread post, although they required account creation before viewing the post. Around late June, due to Goreflix changing their policy to prohibit any forum topics about bestiality and zoosadism along with other illegal subjects (such as child pornography and abuse), the original 1 Bitch 9 Pups post was removed. However, some short clips had already spread to other websites including Deadhouse.org.

There was also a video on YouTube with a brief sample from the same footage, where it plays the 0.5-second part of the first pup at first, but the video ends with a Rick Roll as soon as the man raises his hammer. This video was posted on May 10, 2022, by Bradlay, and gained over 2,200 views. Bradlay later removed the video on July 28, 2022.

A gallery of five screenshots of Screamer Wiki's 1 Bitch 9 Pups page was shared on a subreddit called r/NoahGetTheBoat on August 1, 2022, and received over 8600 updates before the post was removed on August 4. The next day after the post was published, a couple of screenshots of the subreddit users' reaction comments to the 1 Bitch 9 Pups article were later shared on r/RedditMomment and gained over 2,300 upvotes.

Arrest
Fortunately, in April 2022, NT Joint Anti-Child Exploitation Team (JACET) received an email from the user and investigator named Mushrooms4 about the video and took action to track down the man behind the video. On April 22, two days after starting the search, the NT team and Australian Federal Police (AFP) found the man at his McMinns Lagoon property. After the police uncovered a "significant number" of the man's hardcore animal cruelty videos and photos during a raid of his house, the man was arrested and charged with 15 counts of aggravated animal cruelty and two counts of bestiality under the NT Criminal Code. His number of charges were gradually increased for their severity, resulting in a total of 213 cruelty charges. He remained in custody and appeared in Darwin Local Court on April 26, although nothing major was revealed about the man in his first trial, as the deeper details about his crimes were suppressed by Judge Alan Woodcock due to their incredibly graphic nature. The man's next court trial for his identity to be revealed was delayed several times: first it was originally expected to be publicly revealed on June 22, then was pushed to July 13 and July 17, but the trial was delayed infinitely for his crimes deemed as "so abhorrent". However, the delay was lifted, and the man's next trial date was expected to be October 12.

Content
The video series involves a naked middle-aged man who takes the adult female boxer/pitbull mix and her nine 2/3-weeks-old pups out to the private parts of the Darwin forest with him, along with some set of tools, including a kitchen knife, a rusty handsaw, and a driller hammer. In all videos, the man is completely silent and his face is never shown on-screen, obscuring his identity. The footage of the killings had a high resolution, and some of the video clips had a few scenes skipping out, implying that some animals likely were tortured longer than what was recorded.

Throughout the video clips, the man murders the animals one by one in several unimaginably heinous ways, to which the mother dog shows no reaction, and besides being forced to eat some of her pups' remains, she licked their serious wounds and exposed innards even while they were still alive; possibly thought she was trying to help her pups.

There are at least 10 videos of abhorrent dog killings:
 * Pup 1 - The man picks up the first pup and places it on the log, then uses a driller hammer to damage its skull.
 * Pup 2 - The man places another pup on the same log and saws its body in half with a handsaw.
 * Pup 3 - The man puts the pup on the log, in the process stomping on the pup several times, and then sits on the pup with his bare buttocks. The man rubs the dead pup with his testicles while masturbating. He finishes and puts the pup in the dog's mouth and shuts her muzzle.
 * Pup 4 - The man stabs the pup via the anus, while the dog licks the pup.
 * Pup 5 - The man stabs the pup in its mouth.
 * Pup 6 - The man takes the next pup and cuts the genitalia. The dog licks the pup while the man masturbates.
 * Pup 7 - The man disembowels the pup with a knife.
 * Pup 8 - The man uses his hands to kill the pup and whips it against the log.
 * Pup 9 - The man breaks the pup's limbs with his hands and disembowels it with a knife. The man decapitates the pup with a saw and ejaculates on its head.
 * Mother - The final victim. The man urinates in the dog's mouth and immobilizes the dog with duct tape around her muzzle, ankles, and wrists, then ties her to the dead tree with a leash, before beating her in several ways. The man removes the duct tape from the dog and places three dead pups in a cut hole in the dog before beating the dog again.

Other Videos
Apparently, 1 Bitch 9 Pups is not the only video series the killer has produced. Several more animal murder videos were discovered on the killer's Telegram account, although none of them were shared outside of Telegram and were all deleted along with the account. Most videos were basically short footage clips of the man humiliating, torturing, and murdering the dogs in many wretched ways and occasionally feeding some body parts of his previous victims to the new victims. The man uploaded likely a total of 17 videos, and every known footage include:
 * Luna - A video that contained footage of a gray pit bull who was possibly named Luna due to the video's title. It was 22 seconds long,, and showed the man poking the bleeding pit bull in the eye with a knife. The video was recorded long after the 1 Bitch 9 Pups series.
 * Ballboy Beating - A video that was divided into two parts, where the man beats two male dogs in the testicles before killing them.
 * Piss Dogs (unofficial name) - Footage of the man urinating on two dogs before beating them, though the dogs' fate and where the footage took place remain disclosed.
 * Blade Rape (unofficial name) - A video clip of the man raping the dog with a shaving blade.
 * Two Bitches (unofficial name) - A video of the man killing two female dogs.
 * Penis Rip (unofficial name) - A video of the man tearing off a male dog's genitals.
 * Hung and Gutted (unofficial name) - A video of the man strangling, hanging, and disemboweling two dogs: one was identified as a pit bull mix, and the other is a brown weimaraner mix.

Furthermore, the man possessed a gallery of heavily graphic photos on his devices and uploaded most files to his Telegram account. Most of his photos contained roasted dog genitalia and meat, along with a basket filled with corpses of dogs he killed.

The man also had a meme image of him with his penis in a severed canine head, with a caption that read "When your dog has something stuck in its mouth and you trying get it out".

Trivia

 * Around late 2021, before 1 Bitch 9 Pups was brought to attention, a shock mixtape creation group called "Bleaksville" found the 1 Bitch 9 Pups videos and used them for their "Not Safe For Life" mixtape. There was also an alternate "Safe For Life" version which removed all the shocking imagery including the 1 Bitch 9 Pups clips.
 * 1 Bitch 9 Pups was featured on another shock mixtape called "Scream, Bitch!".
 * The mother dog wears an orange collar with color-changing patterns and a "Great Pets Start With You" logo. "Great Pets Start With You" is a pet council that was only headquartered in Darwin, Australia, the same place where the killing took place. Mushroom4, the same user who emailed the NT team about the 1 Bitch 9 Pups video, noticed the collar and sent photos of the dog to the councils at Darwin to help identify the dog, but they did not remember anything about it.
 * It was heavily implied that the killer's identity is Adam Britton, an Australian zoologist and crocodile specialist. This belief is backed by the fact that both were Australian, both live in Darwin, Northern Territory, both were at the age of 51 (there is a July 16, 2021 news article confirming that Adam was 50 years old at the time) as of 2022, and both have small dot-like moles on the left forearm near their wrist. On Adam's Twitter bio, dogs appear as the last part of Adam's list of interests, hinting that both Adam and the killer share the same interests in dogs.
 * Adam Britton has not been recently posting anything from his social media accounts (such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc.) ever since his latest tweet reply on March 28, 2022, and liked tweet on April 15, 2022, and not even recent public news where Adam's involved are published, while the zoosadist's arrest takes place on April 22, further implying that the killer and Adam were the same people.
 * On April 24 after his prosecution, it was reported by Kiwifarms that the man's house was burned down by vigilantes from other Australian towns who had traveled to his residence in an attempt to kill him for his actions. However, this claim was false, as it was an abandoned house from the killer's territory that was burned down.
