Zamual Mallinson was found guilty of keeping a dog used for dog fighting and of failing to ensure the needs of other dogs he owned following a three day trial.
But after RSPCA officers raided his property they seized his mobile phone which held the footage of him kicking a rabbit.
The video, filmed by Mallinson, shows him approaching the helpless animal as it sits on a country footpath before he brutally kicks it.
In his summing up, District Judge Michael Morris described the footage of Mallinson kicking the rabbit as “an act of sheer brutality”.
