The man captured on video hitting and swearing at a pet dog has apologised for his behaviour – but thinks he should be compensated for "an invasion of privacy".An angry mob gathered outside Jonathan Bloomfield's home in Stanley Street, Grimsby, after footage of him abusing 18-month-old Staffordshire bull terrier Butch was posted on Facebook by a neighbour, as reported.And last Thursday, Grimsby magistrates banned him from keeping dogs for 15 years after admitting two counts of animal cruelty.Today, the 37-year-old father told the Grimsby Telegraph that he was "sorry" for what he did, but felt aggrieved by the invasion of privacy committed in making the video.His family were advised by Humberside Police to leave the area and they are now living in Brent Park, London, with Mr Bloomfield's mother.He said: "If my neighbour had concerns, he should have got in touch with the RSPCA, not make videos of my family and put them on Facebook and YouTube."I will be seeking the advice of a solicitor and should be compensated for the invasion of privacy which has left my family homeless and denied my young son a better future."In court, he claimed that on one occasion recorded on film, he punched the dog because it had bitten his three-year-old son when it took a packet of crisps from him.He also claimed he was stressed from work and was "sick of the dog barking".Mr Bloomfield explained: "I heard my son crying and he was holding his hand, saying the dog bit him. I was angry so I went out and bashed him."It is not in my nature to be cruel to animals and I know it was not the best way to go about things but I was upset."As reported, Mr Bloomfield was arrested on October 18, after neighbour Michael Currie, 23, posted a video of the abuse on Facebook. The footage went viral, spreading by the minute through social networking sites. Within hours, a mob of people had gathered outside his home.During the court case, magistrates were warned the footage – filmed between September 9 and October 18 – contained "disturbing" images.It was played to the court and showed Butch whimpering and cowering as Mr Bloomfield punched it twice in the face and told it to "shut the **** up".Mr Bloomfield continued: "Neighbours didn't like us because we are from London."They would come round complaining that the dog was making a noise and then film me when I smacked him."Mr Bloomfield, who claims to be an "animal lover", also kept lizards, a bird and a fish.He gave them away because he "genuinely thought" he was going to prison."I plan to replace the lizards but after everything that has happened, I will never keep a dog again – even after the 15-year ban is up," he said."We are now living with my mother in London."My son has had to leave the nursery he went to and the friends he made."We lost everything we loved in the space of an hour."I have lost my house over this and it is wrong."Butch was taken into the care of the RSPCA. Mr Bloomfield was also ordered to complete 260 hours of unpaid work and pay £100 costs.
