UPPER DARBY, Pa. (AP) — A Philadelphia-area woman has been charged with animal cruelty after police allege videos she posted show her torturing and killing animals while soliciting encouragement on social media.
Anigar Monsee, 28, of Upper Darby, was charged with four felony counts of aggravated cruelty to animals — torture, according to Delaware County court records.
Superintendent Timothy Bernhardt of the Upper Darby police department told the Delaware County Daily Times that an animal rights group alerted authorities Friday about the videos posted on YouTube, which purport to be about cooking the animals.
Police alleged in a criminal complaint that in one video posted live Friday involving a chicken, the woman “repeatedly commented on the number of viewers and likes, and solicited more, before she harmed the animal,” the newspaper reported.
