Court of Appeal halves sentences for WA men convicted of animal cruelty

The Court of Appeal in Western Australia halved the sentences of Luke Summers and Michael John Roccisano for animal cruelty against a pigeon, reducing their fines to $18,000 and $14,000 respectively. The men had previously faced $48,000 and $39,000 penalties after filming the brutal act in June 2023. The judge described their actions as a one-off act of impulsive bravado.
