GRAPHIC CONTENT: Russian girls filmed torturing and killing pets for own amusement
HARROWING footage of two teenage girls boasting about torturing animals while abusing house pets has sparked fury.
Horrific aftermath of brutal animal torture
In disturbing videos, the Russian girls brag about how they save cats and dogs from animal shelters, only to end the animals lives in horrendous ways.
The pair have published images and clips of baseball bats, chemical liquids, tongs, and other instruments of torture they claim to have used on the poor creatures.
Appalled social media users have now called for the two girls, from the Far Eastern city of Khabarovsk, to be punished in an online petition.

It is a criminal offence to torture animals in Russia and the campaign is calling for the wicked duo to be prosecuted.
One of the girls, 16, has been detained by police after she tried to board a flight to Saint Petersburg.
Olga Potapova, deputy minister for social development in the Novosibirsk region, confirmed the teenager had been detained.

The girl was on the federal wanted list
Ms Potapova said: "The girl was on the federal wanted list, but no charges had been filed yet, so our goal was to keep her away from the police station; she’s only a teenager.
“So we decided to place her in our center (the Rassvet minors’ facility).
“At the moment she isn’t saying much, or communicating.”
