A man who pleaded guilty to five charges of wilful cruelty to animals after feeding five live kittens to his pitbull dog will be sentenced at Gisborne District Court on Friday.
In September last year, Te Ahu Aaron Mankelow, 31, recorded himself on his cellphone as he tipped five kittens from a box and urged his dog to eat them. All of the kittens were killed.
The case attracted huge media attention in New Zealand and overseas.
