Man jailed for animal cruelty

A Logan City man’s been jailed for animal cruelty.

The court was told,  In July last year the 23 year old wrapped a kitten in duct tape before attaching fireworks to its back.

He then set-off the fireworks.

The kitten survived the ordeal but suffered burns to its face and ears and was dumped in a wheelie bin at Park Ridge.

The kitten has since been re-homed.

The 23 year old pleaded guilty in the Beenleigh Magistrates court and was sentenced to six months in jail.

The man will be eligible for parole in 2 months.

He was also banned from owning a pet for the next five years.
