Dog Kicker Filmed Kicking his Pooch in Elevator Banned from Owning More Pets


John Delaney, who was caught mercilessly kicking his cattle dog in an elevator back in April on a closed circuit television video, pleaded guilty to one count of animal cruelty this week in front of Magistrate Greg Grogin in NSW Australia reported the DailyTelegraph.com.au.

Delaney, who lives in the Waterloo apartments, was fined $600 and banned from owning any pets for the next two years. The disturbing video, turned into the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals by the building manager, showed Delaney repeatedly kicking the dog for no apparent reason.

Authorities from the RSPCA were able to obtain a search warrant and seized the dog named Rusty from Delaney's apartment.

Delaney's girlfriend was fined $500 and also banned from owning pets for the next two years for failing to get Rusty veterinarian treatment for a severe flea infestation.

According to the Daily Telegraph, Magistrate Grogin told Delaney:

“Talk about a defenseless animal — you should be ashamed of yourself."

Rusty is available for adoption through the Australian Working Dog Rescue. Check out all of their adorable and adoptable pets; remember to adopt and don't shop for your next best friend.
