East Goshen Township, Pennsylvania – Police in East Goshen Township have identified and charged a man who was captured on video kicking a dog at the Goshen Valley Apartments. The video was captured by Alexx Travaglini, who started recording after hearing yelling outside and seeing the man walking his dog.
Travaglini tells 6 ABC News, “You can see in the video that the dog cowers on the ground and gets really low to the ground and kind of like pulls away from him on the leash, and then he kicks the dog while it’s down. That is, to me as a pet owner and lover of animals, it’s very indicative that the dog is used to this kind of behavior.”
The video was posted to Facebook and shortly thereafter, the police were involved.
According to Westtown-East Goshen Region Police, the man, whose identity has not been publicly released, is facing a summary offence of animal cruelty.
