A Pennsylvania woman who filmed herself fatally torturing animals for online views has been convicted and faces up to seven years behind bars.
The Delaware County Court found 28-year-old Anigar Monsee guilty on Wednesday (May 7) for systematically abusing animals—including pigeons, chickens, frogs, and rabbits—on camera and uploading the recordings to her YouTube channel, which amassed more than 20,000 subscribers.
Charged with four felony counts of aggravated cruelty to animals, her case disturbed law officials not only for the nature of her crimes, but also for the fact that she was given a platform where thousands of people encouraged her actions.
