Man, 70, is charged with killing a stray cat after online post showing the animal drowning

21:34 EDT, 22 July 2021
A man who made a social media post about drowning what he described as a 'feral' cat has been charged with an animal cruelty offence by NSW Police. 
The 70-year-old man was arrested yesterday at a home in Coffs Harbour, on the NSW mid north coast, and charged with torture, beat and causing death of an animal.
A member of the public notified local police of the man's posts, one of which shows a small ginger-and-white cat trapped in a cage.
A social media post earlier this week showing a cat trapped in a cage led to a member of the public reporting the man to police
