Pennsylvania Woman Charged with Torturing, Killing Animals for YouTube Audience

A southeastern Pennsylvania woman is facing multiple counts of aggravated animal cruelty after allegedly filming herself torturing and killing animals — and uploading the videos to her YouTube channel.

Authorities have accused 28-year-old Anigar Monsee of producing and disturbing at least four videos involving the killing of frogs, a rabbit, a pigeon, and a chicken. She was arrested on Friday and charged with four felony counts of aggravated cruelty to animals, local television station WPVI reported.

According to investigators, Monsee would request “likes” and engage with YouTube viewers before she began torturing an animal. Some of the comments were sexually charged, NBC Philadelphia reported, citing an affidavit of probable cause filed for her arrest.

In some instances, Monsee allegedly mutilated some of the animals, even severing their necks with a dull knife, a process that would take several minutes, the affidavit states.
