Death of Nao, a murdered cat

Nao, found dead

October 31^st2017 in the evening, in Bassens-en-Savoie, Nao leaves the house of Madame X. He walks from time to time in the surrounding area and in a meadow near the home. Every morning and after his nocturnal escapades, the cat is there waiting as soon as the shutters open. But this November 1^st2017, Nao is not there.

Worried, Mrs. X left a message on Pet Alert and went in search of her little companion, without success. The next day, on her way to work, she finds him in the meadow. Nao is lying dead on his right flank: his tail is torn off, his face swollen and bruised, his eyes are lifeless and opaque ...

Fortunately, Madame X is not alone in discovering the body: a policeman passes at the same time and also takes note of the animal’s wounds. The cat has no blood on the body and no trace is found at the scene: murdered in another place, Nao was most likely moved to the meadow. After gathering the necessary information to file a complaint at the Chambéry police station, Mrs X was authorized to bury Nao to give him a dignified end.

One Voice mobilizes with the Zoe Cell

When compiling the information, Mrs X learns that she can receive the support from an association "to help victims of criminal offenses". It is therefore to our association that she turns and in particularly to our Zoe Cell, defending animal victims of cruelty. On the police side, the investigation is open. On the spot where Nao was found, a camera is spotted by Mrs X: She hopes that the images can help the investigation and identify the torturer or torturers of this small cat ... From our side, we will graciously defend the cat and having already filed a complaint for acts of cruelty. Because we are convinced that acts of such violence are not tolerable on any living being!

A demand for an exemplary sentence for acts of cruelty

The association cannot allow humans to perform such acts of violence on our dear companions of life. Last September we filed a civil law suit in the courts for Chevelu, who died of the violent beatings from a human. Following the trial, the torturer was sentenced to six months in prison. As a reminder, the latter had let his dog die before putting an end to the life of the little cat. He had even been deprived of custody of his child; a finding supporting the idea that there is a link between violence on animals and that done to humans.

The case is to follow but, in the meantime, we invite you to sign the petition so that all violence, whomever the victim will be condemned. The list must no longer lengthen and those responsible for acts of cruelty must be held accountable for their actions!
