A Florida woman faces animal cruelty charges after police say she repeatedly slammed a backpack stuffed with a mother Chihuahua and her three puppies into bar tables and benches. The Chihuahuas were “shaking and tormented” after their ordeal, according to an arrest report obtained by CBS Miami. “I didn’t do that,” Gardner screamed during a court hearing Monday on charges of tormenting animals and resisting arrest, according to WPLG-TV. The Chihuahuas were being treated at Broward County Animal Care and Adoption Center in Fort Lauderdale, according to spokeswoman Lisa Mendheim. They’re here under observation right now.”Mendheim said she didn’t know what would become of the dogs once they’re cleared.
