Cruel Treatment of a Cat in Lviv: Police Initiates Investigation

According to a report on the "Glavcom" website, animal rights activists were outraged by a video that went viral online, where a child is forcefully holding a cat and drawing on it with markers. Animal psychology expert Sonya Wons believes that the cat is in a state of fear and exhaustion.

This video is nothing short of cruel treatment of animals. The cat is simply paralyzed and exhausted from fear and attempts to escape, while it is tossed around like meat in a market. And no, this is not a "one-time event." These are the values that parents instill in their child, as both exhibit zero empathy towards animals. For them, it is just a toy...

According to the animal psychologist, it is believed that the child acted cruelly towards the cat, and her mother, an anesthesiologist, is currently not at work due to maternity leave. The woman reached out and justified her child's actions, explaining that she has already held a discussion with the children about the proper treatment of animals.

Response of Law Enforcement and Animal Protectors to the Incident with the Cat

The police of Lviv region have initiated an investigation regarding this case of cruel treatment of an animal. Furthermore, the animal rights organization UAnimals supports the summons to the child protection service and the appeal to the police.

The incident with the cat, which shocked animal protectors, triggered a response mechanism for law enforcement and the involvement of the child protection service in cases of cruel treatment of animals. It is important to monitor the development of the situation and take necessary measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
