At about 1pm on January 10, police received reports a man was walking with a number of dogs, including six small puppies, on Anne Street in Moree.
Witnesses reported the man allegedly kicked out at one of the puppies, and punched and kicked another dog in the torso before letting go of the leash.
The alleged incident was reported to New England Police officers who launched an investigation.
Extensive inquiries by police revealed the man allegedly killed and disposed of two puppies.
At about 9am on January 11, a 47-year-old man fronted Moree Police Station and was arrested.
