Teen Charged With Animal Cruelty for Swinging and Flinging Dogs by Leash

|Updated:

A teen faces animal cruelty charges for a viral video that shows him flinging two dogs into the air in Louisiana.

The viral video shows a teen with two dogs who spins them around by the leash attached to both of their necks. He then lets go, and the dogs are launched into the air, yelping. They hit the ground hard and bounce across the concrete, but appear to be okay as they run back toward the teen.
