The punishment was ordered by Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, a day after the man and his two employees were arrested by Dubai Police at a farm.
Dubai Media office said: "By orders from Mohammad Bin Rahid, the men involved in cat cruelty incident to clean Dubai zoo facilities for four hours daily for three month as community service because of their savage and cruel behaviour which is against our values and Islam that always courage to be mercy on animals."
Dubai Police chief, Major General Abdullah Khalifa Al Merri, said, the community service orders the person to serve the society and also helps to raise awareness about the negative side of such offences.
"The punishment will act as a deterrent for all," he said.
On Tuesday, he had identified the man behind this horrible video and arrested him for killing the cat.
The shocking video, that showed a man holding a live cat in a cage and feeding it to two dogs, outraged residents and officials from different departments.
In the first case, a young motorist, who performed dangerous stunts with his vehicle on a wet road in Dubai's City Walk, was ordered to clean the roads for four hours every day for a month as community service.
On February 23, Shaikh Mohammed ordered the 17-year-old Emirati driver to clean the streets for his reckless driving behaviour.
The driver was arrested after videos emerged on social media showing the youngster performing dangerous stunts on a rainy day at City Walk mall in Dubai. Soon after, the man was arrested along with his three friends.
