Cat Lured and Kicked Into Sea

 

TAKE ACTION!   SIGN: Justice for Cat Lured with Food and Kicked into the Ocean PETITION TARGET: Greek Minister of Justice Kostas Tsiaras An innocent cat who was lured forward with food at a Greek restaurant by a customer was then callously kicked into the nearby sea in a horrifying ordeal, WION reported. Video circulating widely online shows the man enticing two cats with a fish, then savagely kicking one of them into the water. The atrocious act met with encouragement and laughter from people witnessing the abuse as the man tried to do the same with the second cat, according to news reports. Meanwhile the cat disappears from view, plunging into the water from what appears to be a high distance, according to the video. The cats’ guardian, who owns the restaurant, said both cats survived the cruelty and that he would help find the abuser, according to the Greek Reporter. It was the Citizens Protection Minister Takis Theodorikakos who announced an arrest, writing in a Facebook post that “violence against animals is unacceptable.” This sweet, innocent cat must have suffered severe fear during her completely unexpected fall. Cruel acts of intentional abuse must not be tolerated. Sign our petition urging the Greek Minister of Justice to treat this animal cruelty case with the severity it deserves, including a lifelong ban on owning animals for the abuser any needed intervention services, such as anger management or psychological counseling. SIGN NOW TOP STORIES   Loyal Dog Leads Rescuers to His Guardian Following Intensive 3-Day Search An intensive, multi-day search to find a missing 63-year-old woman with dementia ended happily for her and Max, a black Lab who stayed by her side on a Texas trail through storms and heat and whose barking ultimately led rescuers to save her life. Katy resident Sherry Noppe disappeared on May 3. Surveillance footage located her walking with Max near an elementary school, and her family told searchers she likely may have headed to a trail in George Bush Park, according to KTRK. Rescuers combed the area for days before they turned off their ATVs and heard barking in the early hours of Friday, May 9. That sound led them off trail to a marshy area about two miles from Noppe’s home and Max, who was stalwartly stationed at his guardian’s side, even though he wasn’t wearing a leash or collar and was not otherwise restrained there. Rescuers rushed Noppe to a hospital, where she was treated for dehydration, cuts and bruises. Max got a vet check. Both reportedly are now doing fine. Harris County Precinct 5 called the rescue “a small miracle,” whereas Noppe’s family called Max a hero. “That just shows you the loyalty the dog has,” Noppe’s son Justin told People. “He saved her life. He’s our hero.” TexasEquuSearch, which provides volunteer search efforts assisted with the search and rescue. This story is an incredible reminder that dogs, and many other animals, possess many of humanity’s most valued traits – courage, loyalty, and love – and that they deserve to live lives free from pain and suffering. We are overjoyed that this story has a happy ending thanks to Noppe’s brave canine companion.
