Ipswich man charged over dog cruelty, guns

A man has been charged with cropping the ears and chopping the tails off six dogs west of Brisbane.

Queensland police and RSPCA officers raided a property at Willowbank on Tuesday morning and seized four dogs, two puppies, two guns and drug paraphernalia.

All the dogs were bulldogs and bull mastiffs, which are breeds commonly used in illegal dog fighting.

The 39-year-old man has been charged with serious animal cruelty and unlawful weapons, ammunition and drug utensil possession.

He's due to appear in the Ipswich Magistrates Court on January 14.
