A man who violently treated his landlord's dogs has been banned from keeping animals for ten years and given a suspended prison sentence. Michal Kulesza, 46, appeared before Bristol Magistrates' Court on October 28 and was sentenced to a total of 42 weeks in custody, suspended for two years.
The RSPCA had been handed 25 video clips from over a two day period of sustained abuse, during which Kulesza caused the two dogs to yelp and scream in pain. Kulesza had moved into his landlord's home as a lodger in Chepstow Road, Bristol, back in December 2021.
Also living at the landlord's property were his two Jack Russell dogs - seven-year-old Sonia and three-year-old Rocky. RSPCA solicitor Lindi Meyer, who represented the animal welfare charity in court, said: “Kulesza was not known to his landlord before this time.
