UPDATE: The Pennsylvania SPCA says the 12-year-old suspect in the attack on “Buddy” the cat has now turned himself into police. The 17-year-old surrendered to authorities Friday.
PHILADELPHIA — The Pennsylvania SPCA says two juveniles have come forward in connection to the vicious dog attack of a family cat in Philadelphia’s Frankford section. The suspects came in to the Pennsylvania SPCA with a parent to address the charges.
The juveniles are facing multiple charges including felony animal fighting, felony aggravated animal cruelty and a conspiracy charge. While they’re facing felonies, these are not crimes that warrant being charged as an adult. As the attack continued, the person or persons can be heard on the video encouraging the dogs to continue attacking the cat until a resident of the property comes out to intervene on behalf of the cat.
