Rapper Timal, 25, has been the subject of a boycott call on Twitter since Tuesday August 30 and the publication, on his Snapchat account, of a video where he mistreats his dog.
“Conn*** va”
can we read on the video of a few seconds in which the rapper from Seine-Saint-Denis first shows what appear to be puddles of urine on the ground, before redirecting the camera towards his dog, frightened and lying in his basket, and kicking him violently.
Later in the evening, surely seeing the controversy swell, Timal publishes a second video in which the dog wears a muzzle.
The rapper then assures:
“Ahh cvvvv jlaim lboss c léduc”
, understanding
“Ah it's okay, I like the boss, it's education”
.
Again sparking outrage on social media.
Alerted by Internet users, the 30 million Friends Foundation filed a complaint for animal abuse on Wednesday as well as a report on the government platform Pharos, which makes it possible to alert on illegal Internet content.
The rapper's dog, as well as a second American Stafford, were also seized and entrusted to the Action Protection Animale association.
According to information from Le
Parisien
, Timal was placed in police custody at the Noisiel police station in Seine-et-Marne on Wednesday.
In early June, French footballer Kurt Zouma was sentenced to 180 hours of community service by British justice for hitting his cat.
The sportsman who plays at West Ham had also published the video on his Snapchat account.
