Anthony Delaney jailed for kicking cat to death
A drunken man has been jailed after he kicked to death a cat that had been run over by a car in Greater Manchester.
CCTV captured Anthony Delaney, 30, of Mossley, booting the black and white male cat twice in Queen's Road, Ashton-under-Lyne, in September.
Delaney, who pleaded guilty to causing unnecessary suffering, sized the animal up before he crossed himself and then kicked it in the air like a football.
He was jailed for 18 weeks at Tameside Magistrates' Court.
Magistrates also banned Delaney from keeping animals for five years.
The cat's owner has never been traced.
