An investment bank consultant who speaks Mandarin brought a 4-month-old cat to the vet, but was found to have swelled his left face, left jaw and back neck, unnatural blinking of his eyes, abnormal pupils, and thirst and blood stains in his nostrils. , He was convicted of animal abuse earlier.

The defense today (22nd) urged that the defendant was a person who loves animals, but the magistrate expressed reservations about the statement and said that he still insisted that the cat’s injuries came from, showing that he had no remorse and pointed out that he should not Because the cat only urinates and defecates in an inappropriate place, he willfully tortured the cat who cannot ask for help with words.

The female veterinarian is joking.

Pleading means that he has raised cats in the past to prove his love for cats

The magistrate also pointed out that the defendant should not wantonly torture cats who could not ask for help because the cat urinates in an improper place. He also believed that this case was not a one-off incident. He also pointed out that he had reservations about whether the defendant had love for small animals. , Thought that he might have treated other cats that he had raised, but he never treated the cats in this case.

Providing a comfortable environment does not mean that cats can be abused

The magistrate stated that even if the defendant claimed that the defendant provided a comfortable living environment for the cat, it did not mean that the cat could be abused. He believed that this was not a reason for pleading. It also stated that the defendant should not keep a cat unless he is caring or patient. Only suffering from unnecessary pain may also cause it to be traumatized, and imprisonment is inevitable.
