Gendarmes searched a house in La Roquette-sur-Siagne, a small town near Cannes, in the Alpes-Maritimes. Around a hundred cat corpses were found buried under tiles and piled up in a freezer.
Around forty felines were alive, wandering but all suffering from illnesses. A sixty-year-old named Guy V. was arrested and taken into police custody. The legal proceedings are now in the hands of the Grasse court. This case is reminiscent of December 2021 when around a hundred cats were found dead in Nice.
