Brooke D. Torres, 28, pleaded guilty to five counts of animal cruelty related to her treatment of the 7-week-old kittens in July, said Victor "Buddy" Amato, chief of the Monmouth County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. In addition to the fine, Torres was barred from owning any pets for five years, a provision that will be enforced by random SPCA inspections, Amato said. |
