When Ashley Barnes was accused of stealing an acquaintance's prescription medication last month, police said, the 21-year-old charged into the woman's bedroom near Millsboro and crushed three of the woman's 2-week-old kittens with her hands.
One of the kittens died on the way to the veterinarian. The other two had to be euthanized there.

It is literally beyond my emotional comprehension.

Monsters who do things like this deserve to have their tickets canceled from the human race.
She does have a cruel looking face. That smirk: ugh!
