Fox News
Kenneth Herrera of Soldiers Grove, Wisconsin, has been sentenced to a year and a day in prison for paying an Indonesian videographer to abuse a monkey on video.
Herrera was cited under the Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture Act, which makes it illegal to cause the creation or distribution of depictions of "animal crushing." Animal crushing includes burning, suffocating, impaling or causing the serious bodily injury of animals, prosecutors said.
Herrera pleaded guilty to the charge on Sept. 15.
