A woman has been accused of microwaving her neighbour's kitten after she was allegedly thrown out of a party.
Gina Robins, 30, (pictured above)faces one charge of causing unnecessary suffering to the pet by putting it in the appliance at a house in Torquay, Devon, on February 16.
It is claimed the short-haired kitten, which was only a few months old, suffered devastating injuries and died. (Kitten was like the one in photo above)
Robins, wearing a black dress and a white coat, pleaded not guilty when she appeared before magistrates and only spoke to confirm her name and address.
The case is being brought forward by the RSPCA after its owner made a formal complaint.
Robins, of Torquay, was granted bail and is due back before magistrates on August 12 for a pre-trial review.
The charge was brought under the Animal Welfare Act 2006.

It is a common myth that people who will abuse animals will abuse people and that people who love animals will be kind. Many very evil people loved their pets and did evil to humans. However, there is a link since sociopaths often will start with animals.
I kinda broad-brushed there. You’re right but I choose NOT to hang around those who don’t like animals and are not concerned about their well being. I’m not a PETA whacko by any stretch but I think God wants us to protect and take care of the animals man has been given diminion over.
