This shocking video has been posted a few months ago on LiveLeak. Please
be aware that it is extremely difficult to watch. The suffering of that cat was
truly unbearable. The attacker can be seen gently stroking the cat, before
slamming the defenseless moggy against a metal pipe with all his force several
times. At the end, the heartless man feeds the feline to a pack of hungry dogs,
who witnessed the scene, but are reluctant to attack the severely wounded
animal. The attacker then zooms on the cat only to show the viewers how the
animal is desperately shacking in one of her last moments on this merciless planet.
The video was taken somewhere near Hanoi, Vietnam’s capital city.
Despite the fact the footage went viral and thousands of calls for justice was
made, nothing was achieved.
This is a country where there is no respect for animals. It is
country where dogs and cats are consumed as food (and regarded as a ‘delicacy’
on top of it!); it is a place where there are absolutely no animal welfare laws
– the man in the photo will never be brought to justice because police simply
do not investigate such incidents, because there are no laws to punish such
monsters!
This a true national disgrace and I am shocked to see that the
problem of animal welfare has yet to be discussed by the government.
The need to implement animal welfare laws in Vietnam is stringent.
There are thousands of similar incidents that occur every year and these
monsters are allowed to get away with it. In other words, there is absolutely no justice done!
Please show your support towards the implementation of Vietnam’s first national welfare act and ask the government to deploy the necessary resources to ensure that all animals in the country will receive protection against vile individuals like the ones in the video!
