The scene is terrible and shocked those who saw it on social networks. In fact, dozens of reports concerning this video of a calf thrown alive over a bridge in the middle of the night alerted the Haute-Corse gendarmerie. The latter has also placed a man in police custody this Tuesday afternoon.
According to Corsica Net Infos, the terrible video lasts about thirty seconds. You can see a frightened calf in the trunk of a car registered in Haute-Corse (2B). A man then catches the animal and throws it into the void, while another individual films the scene with a mobile phone. According to Corse-Matin, the events took place in the commune of Niolu, in the west of the island.
The Bastia prosecution has opened an investigation for "serious ill-treatment or acts of torture on an animal". The penal code provides that "the act, publicly or not, of carrying out serious abuse, or of a sexual nature, or committing an act of cruelty towards a domestic animal, or tamed, or held in captivity, is punished by two years imprisonment and a fine of 30,000 euros.
