达尼丁男子因虐杀猫咪被判刑

A Dunedin man has been sentenced after admitting he beat a cat with a piece of wood until it died.

一名达尼丁男子承认他用木头打死了一只猫，随后被判刑。

Tereariki Moses pleaded guilty on Thursday in the Dunedin District Court to the ill-treatment of the cat in October, the Otago Daily Times reports. He received 100 hours community work.

据《奥塔哥泰晤士报》报道，摩西于本周四在达尼丁地区法院认罪，承认去年10月虐杀这只猫。他接受了100小时的社区工作。

Moses hit the cat with a piece of wood measuring 1m, and threw its body into some bushes.

摩西用一块1米长的木头打死了那只猫，然后把它的尸体扔到灌木丛里。

The ODT reports Moses' criminal record suggested he had a problem with alcohol, Judge Bridget Mackintosh said.

法官布里奇特·麦金托什对记者表示，摩西的犯罪记录表明他有酗酒问题。

Defence counsel Andy Belcher said his client was "doing ok" and had not been in prison for some time.

辩护律师安迪•贝尔彻(Andy Belcher)则表示，他的当事人“情况良好”，已经有一段时间没有坐牢了。

"It is important to note, animals are vulnerable and deserve to be treated with care," Judge Mackintosh said.

法官麦金托什说:“值得注意的是，动物是脆弱的，它们应该得到悉心照料。”

The ODT reported the Judge told Moses: "it's not acceptable, obviously, to do what you did on this occasion".

据《奥塔哥泰晤士报》报道，法官认定:“显然，在这种情况下，你这样做是不可接受的。”
