2 New Jersey teens accused of luring family of geese into street to run them down on video

WOODBRIDGE, N.J. – Two New Jersey teens are accused of luring a family of geese into the street so one boy could run them down with his SUV while the other videotaped it.

The New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says Woodbridge police have charged the 17-year-olds with animal abuse charges.

The SPCA says it was alerted to the abuse after the tape was posted on social media.

The group says at least one goose was found in the road. It says the SUV shown in the video was found in a high school parking lot and had feathers embedded in its grill.
