Sheer Brutality Killed Dog By Kicking It

Arthur Krauss pleaded not guilty at Dubbo Police Court but was convicted of kicking a dog unconscious on the Macquarie River bank. He admitted the act but claimed it was necessary after the dog, chained, attacked him. Judge Cookson called the defence feeble and sentenced him to £10 fine with costs or 21 days in gaol. The dog’s body was later disposed of on the riverbank. An accompanying deposit for a dead body on the riverbank resulted in a £1 fine with costs or eight days in gaol.
