ATLANTA (AP) - Two teenagers accused of duct-taping a puppy's snout and paws and cooking the animal alive in an oven pleaded guilty Friday to animal cruelty and other offenses. Prosecutors said Joshua Moulder, 17, and his brother, Justin, 19, broke into a newly refurbished community center, where they tortured and killed the 3-month-old puppy, damaged computers, broke glass and splattered paint on the walls.
The brothers then brought neighborhood children to see the dead puppy and threatened to kill them if they reported it, prosecutors said.
They will be sentenced next month.
