Two Charged In Deer Cruelty Video

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – Two people have been charged with aggravated cruelty to animals and other offenses. They are accused of kicking a wounded deer in the head and neck and pulling off its antler during a videotaped attack. The Pennsylvania Game Commission filed charges Friday against 18-year-old Alexander Brock Smith and an unnamed 17-year-old male. The attack during the state’s hunting season in November is characterized in an arrest warrant as the torture of the buck that the 17-year-old had shot and wounded. Calls were left for both defendants’ lawyers.
