Animal was Jerusalem miniature donkey, children's pet

Three central Pennsylvania teenagers have been accused of fatally shooting a pet donkey on an Amish family's farm.

WNEP-TV tells us the teens were charged today, about a week after the donkey was shot 18 times on the Clinton Township farm.

A farmer says the animal was a Jerusalem miniature donkey and his children's pet.

Each is accused of shooting the donkey six times.

Two 15-year-old boys and a 16-year-old boy are charged with cruelty to animals.
