[Animal News]The owner of the cat abuser has returned to his old ways, which is outrageous! This newspaper reported on August 1 that a cat owner in Baisha Village, Yuen Long tied the cat outdoors with a short rope for a long time, and the cat screamed in the rain. However, some citizens provided videos to the volunteers, showing that the cat owner broke his promise and tied the cat outside once more a few days ago, and the cat was crying late at night. In response to this newspaper’s inquiry, Aixie said that it has not yet obtained enough evidence from online pictures to prove that the cat was abused, and appealed to witnesses to contact Aixie so that Aixie can cooperate with the police in law enforcement.
The cat owner had tied the cat in the garden more than a month ago, leaving the cat exposed to the sun and rain. The cat often screamed miserably, but the cat owner remained indifferent. It wasn’t until August 1st that the ACA inspectors and police officers arrived at the scene to investigate, and the cat owner verbally promised to bring the cat back indoors, and said that he would take the cat to the ACA center for microchip implantation and sterilization. At that time, the AISA stated that it had warned cat owners that it is not recommended to keep cats outdoors for a long time in hot or unstable weather, let alone tie the cats with ropes, lest the cats strangle themselves more and more tightly when struggling, causing risk of death.
However, the cat owner recently broke his promise and tied the cat outside once more. Volunteer Mr. He told this newspaper that he received several videos from enthusiastic citizens, showing that the cat was tied outside once more two days ago. The video was shot at night. At that time, the cat was tied up with a short rope and might only walk around in a small area. , screaming from time to time. Volunteers also provided photos, showing that the cat’s litter was placed in a small iron bag, and the litter was scattered on the ground. He said frankly that the current law may not be able to punish such owners, but he hopes that through public opinion, he can speak for the cats and make the owners change.
In response to this newspaper’s inquiry today, the Aixie stated that the inspector of the Aixie and the Fisheries and Conservation Department had followed up and inspected the unit of the case this week, and found that the cat had been put back in the house. The Aixie was unable to obtain enough evidence from the pictures on the Internet to prove Whether the cat was abused, so I appeal to any witnesses of this case to contact the Aixie, so that the Aixie can cooperate with the police in law enforcement. Aixie also stated that the cat owner is now making arrangements with a private veterinary clinic for sterilization, and Aixie will follow up later.
