A man who was caught on camera violently abusing his landlord’s dogs - causing them to yelp and scream in pain - has been sentenced to a ten year animal ban and a suspended prison sentence.
Michal Kulesza, who now lives in Aviemore, was sentenced to a total of 42 weeks in custody, suspended for two years, and disqualified from keeping animals for ten years when he appeared before Bristol Magistrates Court on October 28.

Kuleza was immediately told to pack his bags and leave and his landlord contacted the animal welfare charity.
RSPCA Inspector Dan Hatfield was shown two pieces of the CCTV footage which showed Kulesza repeatedly punching Rocky resulting in him yelping and screaming.
The CCTV, which was downloaded and passed to the RSPCA, showed 25 clips of
