RALEIGH, N.C. — The group, People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), is getting involved in a case of animal cruelty in Rocky Mount.
In May, Cagney, a blue tick coon hound, was set on fire. Three teenagers were charged with animal cruelty.
PETA sent a letter to the district attorney's office, asking officials to vigorously prosecute the defendants.
The animal rights group wants the teenagers to get jail time and receive psychiatric help.
