A shocking video showing a woman dragging her cat down a busy street while eating KFC has sparked widespread outrage online.
The footage, filmed by passengers in a car across the street, shows a woman in a tracksuit and headphones. She is seen pulling her grey and white feline across the road in the rain.
Social media reacts with fury
Social media users have expressed their anger and concern over the incident.
The woman’s actions were condemned as an act of animal cruelty.
One Twitter user criticized the onlookers, saying, “People in the car laughing are right up there with the woman dragging the cat.” Another commented, “How do you sit there and laugh at that?”
Others echoed similar sentiments, with one user writing, “I don’t see anything remotely funny. I’m sure she’ll be identified in no time.” Another added, “How do you sit there and laugh at that sh*t?”
While someone else criticized her for cruelty to pets. Meanwhile, some expressed concern for the health of the poor cat.
RSPCA Investigates the incident
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) has launched an investigation into the incident following the video’s exposure by The Daily Mail.
According to the charity, the cat’s distress was evident, and the situation could have been avoided.
An RSPCA spokesperson stated, “The treatment of the cat in the footage would be expected to cause it profound distress which could have been avoided in a number of ways.”
While the use of a leash is legal and can be beneficial in preventing cats from preying on native birds, the RSPCA emphasized the importance of using a harness rather than a collar.
They noted, “If you decide to walk your cat on a leash, it is crucial that you attach this to a harness rather than a collar. Cats can easily slip out of collars or may choke if they escape and become entangled.”
The disturbing footage has highlighted the need for responsible pet ownership and proper handling of animals.
The RSPCA continues its investigation, keeping the public concerned about the well-being of the cat.
There are also broader implications of such incidents on animal welfare.
