The CCTV footage of the incident, which went viral on Wednesday, shows the calf raging towards the man who was passing by in the street. This enraged the man so much that he first hit the calf with his feet and hands, then he picked up a brick and mercilessly hit the calf repeatedly on its head and backbone until it collapsed.
