Shocking footage emerges of man brutally kicking dog in Queensland

A man has been charged with animal cruelty after footage emerged showing him kicking a dog on a Gold Coast beach.

A bystander filmed the man as he kicked the dog as he pulled him down from a ute.

The man was accompanied by another woman with a dog.

The footage was uploaded to Facebook earlier this week and quickly went viral but has since been taken down.

The dog was reportedly seized on Tuesday and is currently in the care of the RSPCA in Wacol.
