On February 4, several angry husbands came to Li's home to ask for an explanation and filmed videos to collect evidence. The reporter of the Purple Niu News of the Yangtze Evening News saw from the on-site video that there were cat crawling racks and two cat scratching boxes on the left side. Several cat basins and dozens of edible cans were scattered in the corner of the wall, and the ground was full of cat hair and filth. Several of the people who gave birth to the family suspected that Li had abused cats, but Li did not admit it, and his answers were inconsistent. "The cat fell down when fighting with a dog. Its hind legs were lame but it had no fractures and could walk. Later, it was thrown away after a month of treatment." Li explained this at first, but then admitted that he was lying, and admitted that he liked to play with the cat in his mouth but did not stop it. Some of the eight cats were killed after falling from the upper floor, some died in the basement, and some were abandoned by Li, which also made the people who were given up on their way, and then they called the police. However, since the two parties did not sign any agreement, there is no definite evidence of how the cat died and disappeared, the police said they could not file a case for investigation and could only negotiate to resolve the issue.
A reporter from the Yangzi Evening News Ziniu News tried to contact Li via phone, but he had never answered and did not respond through WeChat and other communication methods.
Lawyer suggests: Contracts signed during adoption can be protected by law
"Our country currently has no law on protecting pets, so adoption behavior will be regarded as a gift in law. If the adopter commits some harm to the cat, it is still a moral behavior and it is indeed impossible to protect his rights from the law." Liu Aidong, a lawyer at Nanjing Cathay Xinhua Law Firm, told the reporter of Ziniu News of the Yangtze Evening News that if you stand on the stance of caring for animals, the only thing you can consider is the principle of public order and good customs, but whether it is adopted in court is very unlikely. Lawyer Liu believes that adoption is different from general gifting behaviors. The owner has feelings for the pet and will often worry about whether he lives well and how he lives in his new home. "It is recommended that people who love animals sign a contract with the adopter when rescuing stray cats and dogs to restrict the adopter's care behavior, which can include some specific terms. If the adopter cannot do it, he or she can have the right to cancel the contract and get the pet back. If he or she dies abnormally, he or she can even ask for compensation. Although these cannot save lives, they can play a certain binding role." Lawyer Liu also said that at present, several animal rescuers have questions about the adopter's motivation and behavior. If they think that he or she is not qualified to adopt, they can communicate in the local animal protection group and restrict his or her adoption behavior is a relatively effective way.
Animal Protection Organization hopes to improve the law
Nanjing Cat Friends Club is an organization that rescues stray cats and provides adoption earlier in Nanjing. The person in charge, Ms. Deng, told the reporter of the Yangzi Evening News Ziniu News that cat clubs have strict requirements on adopters, and at the same time, a contract will be signed for the adopter to restrict the adopter's behavior. A reporter from the Yangzi Evening News Ziniu News saw in this contract that the adopter requires that the adopter not abuse or abandon the adopted cat due to family opposition, marriage, childbirth, and job changes. At the same time, it is required to regularly inject vaccinations, take medical measures if necessary, and assist rescuers in understanding and returning the cat's feeding situation. If a breach of contract occurs, the cat has the right to recover the custody of the adopted cat; if the adopted cat causes damage to the adopted cat due to the breach of contract by the adopter, the medical and other related expenses incurred shall be borne.
Ms Deng believes that with the development of the Internet, there are more channels for individuals to publish for potential adoption audiences than before, and the direct connections between individuals are much faster, free and direct. Some of the work originally done by animal protection agencies is now also done by many individuals, such as rescue and adoption. "We hope to implement a thorough constraint through legislation. There is no legal weapon to protect these weak animals and the legitimate rights and interests of animal owners. It is easy to express extremely by relying solely on moral condemnation. The abuse and violence of weak animals and the lack of punishment will eventually encourage them to spread to other weak lives, which will easily have a more profound adverse impact on society."
