Broken Hill Man accused of cruelty videos on animals
A Broken Hill man was hit by multiple accusations of cruelty on animals after being filmed to beat and run on a kangaroo and kick farm animals.

A Broken Hill man was presumably filmed on animals to beat and tortured including the kangaroos.
In a video, a young kangaroo is retained and hit by a motorcycle.
Another, who seems to be taken on a farm, shows Johnson presumably a kangaroo in the box, giving a hand to the animal several times, fighting and throwing it on the ground.
A third clip shows that Johnson presumably runs and kicks a goat child with the caption “Jonathon Thurston Conversion”.
The video series was shared on social media on Sunday. Broken Hill police realized and began a joint investigation with the Rural Crime Prevention Team.

On Tuesday afternoon the agents searched a house in Broken Hill where Johnson was arrested.
