A DOG owner will be sentenced later this year after allowing his pet to chase, attack and kill cats, a deer and a bird.
Ben Bates, 19, appeared at Sheffield Crown Court on Monday and was told he will be sentenced at the same court on June 13 having committed multiple counts of causing unnecessary suffering to animals.
He was also charged with theft having removed a poster warning about the consequences of hare coursing and uploading ‘obscene’ videos to social media.
Bates, of Darfield Road, Cudworth, also pleaded guilty to killing and taking a roe deer, hunting a wild mammal with a dog and attempting to cause an animal fight to take place.
