girls burn a tortoise UPDATE: ARRESTED!!!

I'm a teenager...
This is why people go around saying our generation is doomed.
Did the turtle try to kill their family or burn their house down?
NO.
How in anyone's right mind is this an OKAY thing to do...
I say we charge them for man slaughter.
We could do it now rather than later when they actually end up killing someone or their own kids.
Some people are messed up...
 
2 teens arrested for torturing a gopher tortoise

Officers with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) arrested two Clay County teenagers Friday morning on charges of torturing a gopher tortoise.

Danielle Susan Dionne, 15, and Jennifer Emoke Greene, 18, have been arrested on charges of felony cruelty to animals, a third-degree felony, and taking, harassing, harming or killing a gopher tortoise, a second-degree misdemeanor.

On July 15, the FWC received a tip about the torture and death of a gopher tortoise. FWC and Clay County Sheriff’s Office investigators immediately followed up on the information.

“We take these issues very seriously,” said Col. Calvin Adams, director of the FWC’s Division of Law Enforcement. “We appreciated the help from the public and our partners in working to protect our valuable natural resources.”

The FWC worked with the State Attorney’s Office of the Fourth Judicial Circuit to decide the appropriate charges related to the crime.

“We will not tolerate this behavior in the Fourth Judicial Circuit. We are committed to fully prosecuting those responsible for the torture and death of this vulnerable and threatened species,” said State Attorney Angela Corey.

If convicted, Greene faces up to five years in prison on the animal cruelty charge. The misdemeanor charge carries a penalty of up to 60 days in jail and/or a $500 fine.

Dionne’s case will be prosecuted in the juvenile system. Due to this fact, there will be no further comment on her case.
 
Didn't realize that one of the girls was 18! I thought they were both 16 or so. That's good, means they might actually throw the book at the older one, although I still doubt they will do much to the younger girl.
 
The most disturbing thing about this is that they filmed it.....so they could relive it again and again. I mean the entire thing is disturbing but that takes it to a whole news level for me.

I think arresting them is a good start, but if I ran the world that would only be the beginning.....
