Woman faces animal cruelty charges for marketing kittens with piercings
A dog groomer has gone on trial for piercing kittens she planned to sell on eBay as "Gothic cats". Holly Crawford allegedly gave the three-month-old kittens ear and neck piercings and marketed them online for hundreds of dollars.

The 35-year-old, from Pennsylvania, is now facing animal cruelty charges as prosecutors in the US say she inflicted pain on the cats simply to make money. But Crawford's legal team claim she was not acting maliciously.
