An Aberdeen man who kicked a puppy until it was left cut and bleeding has been jailed.
Kristopher Anderson attacked his dog in Aberdeen city centre and then told police to have it killed as he no longer wanted it.
Anderson appeared in court today where the Sheriff told him he was “no animal lover”, jailed him for 20 weeks and disqualified from keeping animals for 10 years.
The 30-year-old was walking his dog in Aberdeen city centre when he was spotted picking up the three-month-old Staffordshire bull terrier and throwing it towards parked cars.
He then punched the animal once before repeatedly kicking it, leaving the pup scared and injured.
Worried passersby called the police and followed Anderson through several streets until he arrived at his mother’s house.
When officers reached the scene they found the dog had a large cut above its right eye, which had to be stapled shut.
Anderson then told officers that if they were going to seize the animal, they should “just have it put down” as he no longer wanted it.
