Man rips kitten's head off in neighbours' dispute

An Australian man has been charged with aggravated animal cruelty after ripping the head off a kitten and tossing it down the street as children watched.

Police received several calls from onlookers when the 41-year-old threatened to kill the animal as part of an ongoing dispute with a neighbour.

As they headed to the scene in Bendigo, some 150km north-west of Melbourne, police allege the man grabbed the kitten belonging to his neighbour and tore off its head with his bare hands.

He then threw it down the street in front of shocked onlookers, including children playing nearby, the report said. 'It's a terrible thing to witness,' Senior Constable Danny Wolters said. 'We'd seen the kitten on the road that had its head ripped off.'
