2 Arrested for animal torture video

A YouTube video showing puppies and small dogs being tortured led to the arrest of a Chicago man and a juvenile, Chicago police said. Joshua Moore, 22, was charged with multiple counts of felony animal torture and animal cruelty after police found items used in the video at his home, the Chicago Tribune reported Friday. Authorities said they removed five dogs and five puppies from Moore\'s address. A juvenile who appeared in the video was charged with aggravated cruelty to animals and animal torture. Both Moore and the juvenile were seen in a video swinging small dogs and puppies in the air by their leashes. Some of the puppies could be seen cowering in fear while the other dogs were being swung. In another case, lemon juice was poured down a dog\'s throat and duct tape was used to pull hair off a dog. Authorities were alerted to the video by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. A court appearance was scheduled Friday for Moore and the juvenile.
