An Indiana teen may face felony animal cruelty charges for allegedly hunting kittens in an alley near his East Chicago home earlier this month. Police say that the 17-year-old boy, whose name is being withheld, shot and killed three animals with a bow and arrow, then posted photos of himself "playing with the dead kittens" to Facebook.
He did confess. He said he was bored out of his mind the week before school started and decided to hunt some kittens, Lake County Indiana investigator Michelle Dvorscak told CBS Chicago.
Facebook removed the graphic photos after receiving numerous complaints. The photos allegedly showed two cats skewered on an arrow and another that had been "shot through the head," according to Dvorscak.
In an interview with ABC News, Dvorscak called the photos "disturbing and psychotic, and said that she'd never encountered someone so proud of the fact that they decided to post it on their Facebook page.

(2,472 posts)Lake County Animal Control has done some reprehensible things in the past and because of local politics they lost their two most valuable people who started the rescue that I foster for now. I used to volunteer and foster for them, but I won't go near LCAC again after what they did to my friends. But I have no doubt that Michelle Dvorscak will follow through and get this kid off the streets and get him the treatment he needs before he hurts people.
