Actor Steven Seagal is being sued for allegedly killing a puppy.

Seagal, famous for his roles in action movies and expertise in martial arts, is alleged to have killed the dog during filming of a reality show, 'Steven Seagal: Lawman', in which he appears as a deputy sherrif.

TMZ reports that the owner of the pet, Jesus Llovera, is demanding $25,000 in compensation and a written apology after Seagal burst into his home to hunt down an illegal cockfighting ring in March.

Mr Llovera claims that during the raid deputies from the Maricopa County sheriff's office shot and killed his 11-month-old pet.

Mr Llovera said the raid on his home was unwarranted and that he only raises birds "for show".
