The RSPCA is receiving a growing number of complaints about pet owners posting videos of animal abuse online according to a spokesperson.

The comments followed the recent charge of a 17 year old, Central Queensland woman with animal cruelty after she filmed herself repeatedly kicking her dog and then posted it online.

RSPCA representative Michael Beatty, stated that while the amount of content was disturbing, the upside was that the likelihood of people being charged with animal cruelty offences is increased when evidence is posted online.
