Cat torture in Salzgitter: Animal protection raises the alarm after garbage is found!
On June 26th, an incident in Salzgitter-Lebenstedt caused great consternation. Customers discovered a cardboard box in a penny market parking lot that turned out to be the tragic fate of a dark gray cat. She had been abandoned and, very unsettled, was waiting for help. As News38 reports, the Salzgitter animal shelter is stunned by this incident and is now trying to get information from the public. The problem: The cat is not chipped, so its origins or possible owners remained in the dark.
But that's not the only disturbing incident that has alarmed the shelter's employees. A few days ago, two tomcats and a cat were also left in a box directly in front of the facility. In this context, the animal shelter spoke out on social media and criticized the heartless perpetrators who disposed of the animals “like garbage”. The fates of these cats are deeply touching and the animal shelter is ready to offer support if someone is overwhelmed by their pets. As can be read on t-online, there were even recordings from a surveillance system documenting the dropping of the cats. A first step in holding those responsible accountable if no one comes forward.
The location of the animals
The cats currently housed in the animal shelter are doing well given the circumstances. They are well and are receiving the best possible care, although there is currently no prospect of placement. This gives a little hope amid the disappointment at the irresponsible actions of people who do not care about the welfare of animals.
Abandoning pets is not only a hot topic in Salzgitter. Worldwide, hundreds of thousands of animals are abandoned by their owners every day, often for incomprehensible reasons. The organization Vier Pfoten describes that the number of abandonments increases, especially after the Christmas season, when many animals were given away as gifts. This has been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic, with many acquiring pets during lockdown only to later realize they don't have enough time for them.
The current situation in Salzgitter not only raises questions, but is also a wake-up call for the community. It is up to us to be vigilant and protect the animals that depend on our help. Only together can such shocking incidents be prevented in the future.
