Woman selling pierced cats online
A pet groomer in Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania is selling kittens with piercings over the internet. Holly Crawford, 35 put an ear and neck rings to a cats and sell them on eBay for hundreds of dollars, which were advertised as "Gothic kittens".. Her home was raided in 2008 after the authority received a tip. Officers took several kittens and a cat from her home. An animal cruelty investigator told the court in Pennsylvania that the kittens could have been killed by the piercings. Metal rings through the kittens' ears affected their hearing while studs at the back of their necks and the bases of their tails produced a permanent feeling of submission.
The woman convicted of one misdemeanor count and one summary count of animal cruelty, but acquitted her on two separate counts. She will be sentenced March 31. Inflicting pain to an animal just to make money is an obvious cruelty.
