In the early morning, a man beat the cat at his neighbor s house with a stick. The man s relative said that the cat bites people. The cat owner: The cat is very gentle and is a pet

Recently, near No. 1 Gupinggang, Nanjing City, a family cat raised at home was beaten to death by sticks late at night, which triggered conflicts among neighbors.

In a video surveillance on September 3, in the early morning, a man walked to two kittens with a flashlight, aimed the stick in his hand at the two cats and swung them down. One of the cats was hit and jumped wildly, while the other cat also exploded, as if he was startled.

Residents of the community where the incident occurred said that the two cats beaten were domestic cats and belonged to a woman named Li.

Ms. Li explained that being beaten is indeed her pet. The mother of the cat will take her newborn kitten around the doorstep of her home every day, but she will usually go back soon.

And other residents also said that the kittens are very relatives and well-behaved, and they did not avoid them when facing the stick. After being hit by the iron stick, the cat's mother has passed away.

Soon, the reporter found the man who beat the kitten in the video. In the interview, a woman who claimed to be Ms. Li's neighbor stood up and said that the man who beat the cat was his relative. The woman said that she had just moved to the community two months ago. Her elderly, children and the male relative who was beating cats were scratched by the cats raised by Ms. Li, and the mother of the cat even bit her grandson to protect the kitten.

The cat owner Ms. Li said that she could not agree with this statement. According to normal logic, if a domestic cat bites or scratches the people around her, she should directly consult the owner for compensation. The new neighbor next door never found Ms. Li, so she privately "dispose" Ms. Li's domestic cat. This practice is obviously unreasonable.

In this regard, the lawyer said that domestic cats are legally classified as private property. The Public Security Administration Punishment Law stipulates that intentional damage to other people's property is a provocation. If the animal is worth more than 5,000 yuan, it may violate the Criminal Law.

Lawyer Yu Lifeng from Jiangsu Contemporary Guoan Law Firm introduced that the crime of intentional destruction of property may be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, or detention and control. If the perpetrator deliberately destruction of property by others multiple times, it may be considered as the crime of provoking trouble.

At present, the public security organs have intervened in the investigation
