A Waialua man accused of animal cruelty made an appearance in court Tuesday morning.

David Ramirez III had hunting dogs that prosecutors believe attacked and killed a horse.

Aurora, a two year old horse who belonged to Raleigh Craighead, was killed by a pack of dogs who attacked her in her pen.

Ramirez faces numerous animal cruelty and dangerous dog counts. He remains free on $1400 bail, and his arraignment and plea was continued until October 30th.

If convicted, he could face up to a year in jail.
