LUDWIGSLUST - A man who whipped his
fiancee with a cat faces prosecution under Germany's
strict animal-rights laws, police said Monday.
In a drunken rage, the 43-year-old picked up the pet cat
and repeatedly beat his fiancee with the feline until
the animal was a bloody pulp.
It was unclear whether the 49-year-old woman would file
charges of assault. She sustained cuts and bruises.
The cat did not survive and the man now faces
prosecution under stiff animal-rights laws.
A year ago, Germany amended its constitution to protect
the rights of all animals. Persons who unlawfully harm
or kill animals are liable to stiff fines and jail
terms.
Dude! I'm not really sure what to make
of this... --Tony
