Girl, 14, Accused Of Burning Kitten Alive In Oven
ASPCA Official: Animal Killed In Revenge Plot, Died "Agonizing Death," Crying And Scratching At Oven Door
NEW YORK (CBS) ―
New York City police say a 14-year-old girl was arrested for burning a kitten to death in an oven.
She's the second teenager charged in what ASPCA official Joe Pentangelo said was "an agonizing death," with the animal crying and scratching at the oven door in the Bronx apartment.
Named Tiger Lily, the kitten belonged to a former roommate of one of the teens.
After a falling out, authorities said the two broke into the former roommate's apartment last month, poured bleach on various items and slit the sofa and electrical cords.
The 14-year-old was charged Wednesday with aggravated animal cruelty and burglary. A 17-year-old had previously been charged with arson, burglary, criminal trespass and aggravated animal cruelty.
