Animal Abuse

Who would have the audacity to do such a horrible thing? In Northeasst Philadelphia, both 15- and 16 year-old boys were to blame for this incident. Msnbc.com reported that the kitten they abused was placed into a microwave oven and thrown out of a third-story window. The two- to six-month old kitten, Tostino, only suffered from cuts, bruises, and a concussion. After SPCA officers were informed of the situation, they caught the boys, who actually jumped out of the same window that they threw the cat out of. The boys end up facing around two years in jail or probation, at least a $1,000 fine, and were charged with animal cruelty.

Baby Found with Raccoons in her Crib

Who would think that raccoons were kept as pets by a family that lives in Georgia? Msnbc.com reported that two raccoons were discovered in a baby's crib, while biting away at her. Eventually both of the raccoons were thrown out, before they ran to find shelter. Although both of them ran away, one of the raccoons was shot, only to be found dead after both were rediscovered. The raccoon that was found alive had no rabies after being taken to Atlanta for testing purposes. It was also said that the raccoons found their way into the home by maneuvering through an air conditioning unit. If the parents actually kept the raccoons as pets, they could face charges.
