Jailed thug who carved name on victim's chest is Bully dealer | Friends keep his danger mutt business running while in prison

- RORY CASSIDY 

A JAILED gangland torturer was a kingpin in the booming criminal trade in US Bully dogs.

Thomas Fullerton was jailed for seven years last week for a frenzied knife attack.

He cut off part of a man's ear with scissors and scrawled his name into his chest Now we can reveal that Fullerton, who is also known as Thomas Kilgour, had branched out into the supply of Bully pups - a US breed made fashionable thanks to an association with hip-hop culture.

In a sick twist, Bully pups are often sold to buyers with part of their ears chopped off to give them a "devil dog" appearance.

The 29-year-old set up Bad BoyBullyz Ltd in December 2021, offering Bully pups as well as micro exotic bulldogs, French bulldogs, chow chows and shar-peis.

His business Facebook page says its pets are "KC Registered & Health Clear".

This is tough to be in we ain be one the be: THOMAS FUL FIRM'S FACEBO Another post this month urged people to support his business, saying: "Follow us on our journey, keep up to date with the progress of our fur babies.

"This is a tough game to be in and we are aiming to be one of the best!!

"In it for the long haul and we hope you will show us love and support along the way." 

Fullerton was remanded in custody in March after pleading guilty to the attack on friend Liam Day.

But the breeding page has been updated regularly and sources say others are keeping the business going while he is inside. One added: "Tam is serious about doing this as a career and luckily for him his friends and family are willing to help him out and keep it going while he's in jail.
