Sign Petition to Prosecute Teen Who Killed a Cat by Throwing Her Against a Wall [View all]

AnimalPetitions.org
September 19, 2016


An Emirati teenager was caught on video throwing a cat against a wall which resulted in the animal's death.

The suspect's mother has spoken out, expressing her son's severe hatred toward cats.
She said he has told her that when he sees one he wants to kill it.
She blames it on a cat the family had when her son was younger, who her son thought was possessed.

This sort of animal abuse cannot go unpunished, and a full investigation needs to be launched.

Animal abuse cases are punishable by law in Ajman, where the crime took place, by fining the perpetrator $5,000 or placing him in prison for up to a year.

Animal welfare workers are trying to promote the importance of investigating these crimes, but it's up to law enforcement to see that justice is served.

Demand that police fully investigate and prosecute the teenager, who hates cats so much that he may have brutally murdered one.
