Could you post the actual link to the article? I find this a little hard
to swallow. If the kitten was 8 weeks old I could understand this
happening. An 8 month old kitten is usually big enough and strong enough
 to defend itself in some way. I wonder how badly shredded the girls were?

i'm wondering who taught these girls to behave this way.....  i have a very
hard time believing that step sisters who live apart are both purely
psychotic.  if this really did happen, i doubt they did it without some kind
of previous coaching.

These girls are SICK.  They need to be removed from their homes immediately.
Something is obviously going VERY wrong in their homes.  I am sure they are
themselves the victims of abuse.  They need residential help NOW -- serious,
long-term, psychiatric, in-house help.  If they don't get it, they will
inflict this type of abuse on their own children (and they both will
probably be pregnant themselves in a couple of years).

some1 should bury THEM up to thier eyeballs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Girls 'stomp kitten,
 then brag about it'

 13-year-olds facing cruelty charges for act called 'beyond sick – it's evil'

 Two girls from New Jersey are facing animal-cruelty charges after allegedly stomping on a kitten before burying it alive up to its neck.

 "This is beyond sick – it's evil," Cumberland County SPCA Agent Beverly Greco told the Bridgeton News. "We have reached a new low."

 The 13-year-olds from Laurel Lake, N.J., reportedly acquired two kittens Dec. 5, but were told by their father they couldn't keep the animals.

 "We received information from the local animal-control officer and the school [they attended] that the girls were bragging about what they had done," Greco said. "The girls, who are stepsisters who live separately, reportedly had taken two 8-month-old kittens who had been offered for adoption by their owner."

 "They took the kittens to a nearby wooded area, where one of the kittens escaped. The other one was stomped, had a red tank top tied around its neck, and was buried in the dirt with its head sticking out."

 Greco said most of the feline's bones had been broken during the onslaught.

 "Another person found the dead kitten and removed it from the dirt and reburied it," she told the paper. "We exhumed the kitten and did a necropsy on the body, and determined that it had suffocated from the dirt packed around it after the girls buried it."

 The names of the girls were being withheld by authorities because of their age, but each have been charged with three counts of animal cruelty and a disorderly persons offense.
