A Sydney man is accused of cruelty against a pet chicken before allegedly setting his dog on the tortured animal.
Police allege the 20-year-old bought the live fowl from a produce pet store in Enfield, in Sydney's inner-west, in July.
Officers found video footage showing the man maiming the chicken.
