(Harrisburg) — 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.
Messages were left for both defendants’ lawyers.
