offenders register.

court can bring some comfort to his victims and their families.
“This conviction has only been possible due to the bravery and courage of
those who came forward to report this horrific abuse and I commend and
thank them for speaking out.

Vivers’ crimes and the sickening animal abuse, which spanned several
decades.

come forward and report it to police.
