A Dunedin man has been sentenced after admitting he beat a cat with a piece of wood until it died.
一名達(dá)尼丁男子承認(rèn)他用木頭打死了一只貓,隨后被判刑。
Tereariki Moses pleaded guilty on Thursday in the Dunedin District Court to the ill-treatment of the cat in October, the Otago Daily Times reports. He received 100 hours community work.

Moses hit the cat with a piece of wood measuring 1m, and threw its body into some bushes.

法官麥金托什說(shuō):“值得注意的是,動(dòng)物是脆弱的,它們應(yīng)該得到悉心照料。”
The ODT reported the Judge told Moses: "it's not acceptable, obviously, to do what you did on this occasion".
