...don't tape yourself doing it. Failing that, at least have the sense not to make tapes of you breaking the law available over the internet.
FT. DODGE, IOWA -- Three young men who police say doused opossums with lighter fluid and set them on fire have been charged with animal torture.
The arrests came a week after authorities first found a videotape of the three teenagers laughing and jeering as they set the animals ablaze.
David Bendickson, Anthony Herrington and Kevin Calderon, all 19 and of Ft. Dodge, were charged Wednesday with two counts of animal torture. They were released on bond.
Officials say the videotape was made earlier this year and sent to eBaumsworld.com, which features video clips sent by fans.
