2 arrested in suspected intentional dog attack of cat in Frankford, authorities say

PHILADELPHIA - Two juveniles are facing charges after authorities said they let their dogs viciously attack a cat as it was sitting on the front porch of a home in Frankford.

The Pennsylvania SPCA shared video Tuesday of two people walking their dogs past a house in Frankford when they spot a cat, later identified as Buddy, on the front porch of a home.

The dogs lunged towards the cat and the person holding the leash allows them to walk onto the porch closer to the cat.

The suspects then drops the dogs leashes, allowing them to attack the defenseless cat. The two suspects watched the vicious attack from the sidewalk until the homeowner opened the front door and shooed them away.

Buddy suffered life-threatening injuries from the attack that required round the clock monitoring at the SPCA's Philadelphia headquarters, the organization said. Buddy is still in critical condition, but veterinarians are "cautiously optimistic."

The Pennsylvania SPCA on Friday said two juveniles, 12 and 17, are facing charges of animal fighting, felony aggravated animal cruelty and a conspiracy. The unnamed dogs that are believed to have attacked Buddy are also in SPCA custody.

"While this act of cruelty was especially shocking in its intentional nature, the outpouring of support for Buddy the cat and the effort to bring the offenders to justice has been overwhelming," CEO of the Pennsylvania SPCA Julie Klim said.

I agree totally with what you said, and thank you. I’m not sure we’ll see it our lifetime, but then I’m pretty bitter these days, I’ll admit with what I have to put up with.

I look forward to eventually leaving this area for a small town in lower, central Mississippi, and living out my last days there in the country.

I heard the other day that parents are suing a school in Florida because there child identifies as a cat and the school would not supply a litter box. WTF is wrong with people. Seems we are being forced to coddle everyone and accept whatever.

First the gays came out of the closet. And I am totally fine with it. What ever you choose to do behind doors is up to you. But I don’t want to sit down to eat and see 2 dudes going at it. Don’t want to see a guy and a girl going at it either. Get a room. But anyways they came out and now there is parades and its accepted so it gets taken to the next level with trans people… Ok… Then the next level.. pan. I had to look that one up. So what’s next. Everyone wants to push it to the next level. Not only do I want to be accepted as a chick but I want to be able to use there bathrooms and play the womens sports. When does it stop.

Sorry for the rant. I am done now.

I agree. They are old enough to be held accountable. And they should be. Hopefully they will get enough of a punishment that they won’t do it again. Take them to the police academy and make them put on the suit and let the police dogs chew on them.
