A D.C. man has been sentenced to a year in jail for two counts of felony animal cruelty against his daughter’s kittens.
Eric Felipe Gaskin was arrested last May after “declawing” his child’s pets at home. His procedure led to the animals’ paralyzation, infection and ultimate death.
“This remains one of the worst cases of animal cruelty I have ever encountered in my more than 20 years in animal welfare,” Scott Giacoppo, vide president of external affairs at the Washington Humane Society, said in a statement.
