Kittens Thrown in Frying Pan in N.Y.
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Five kittens thrown into a frying pan with pork chops and hot oil were recovering at an animal shelter Monday, and the man accused of scalding them was awaiting a court appearance.
The kittens, about six or seven weeks old, were injured Saturday when a visitor threw them into the cooking pan, authorities said.
The kittens suffered slightly burned skin and are expected to recover.
The resident of the apartment had left the kitchen, where he was cooking at the stove, when the kittens were scorched.
``The (visitor) started taking his clothes off, took two kittens, put them in the frying pan with the hot oil and pork chops and began swishing them around,'' said Charles Loubert Sr., an animal control officer. ``Then he threw one kitten on the floor and he took the other one and wiped it off on the wall. Then he put three more kittens into the frying pan.''
Police said they anticipated the suspect, whose identity was not released, would be charged Tuesday with animal cruelty.
