Animal Torture Causes Wave of Anger

Animal Torture Causes Wave of Anger

It seems no matter where you go in the world, people find it funny to torture and hurt innocent animals.

However, when Mrs. Chang discovered a cat covered in yellow paint on the roadside in Ban-Chiao, Taiwan, it caused a wave of condemnation and anger.

When Mrs. Chang brought the cat to the animal hospital emergency room, it was almost completely covered in Yellow paint. The toxic Formalin has corroded it’s body, causing it to vomit uncontrollably.

Dr. Liao, worried about the cats toxicity level, being 90% covered in paint, decided not to try to think the paint with rosin spirit or paint thinners. He instead added some water to kitty-litter and rubbed it over the paint covered area to soak up the paint and reduce the toxins entering the cat.

The vet gave the cat some liver medicine in hopes to help it process the toxins, but with all their efforts the are of coverage was just too large and the cat had already taken in too many toxins.

The staff was forced to watch as the cat gradually died in pain.

The animal hospital’s staff indicated that this was not the first time they have seen animal pranks go to far.

Mrs. Chang was appalled that such cruel prank could be performed on animals and Dr. Liao added:

“I’ve run the hospital for over 20 years, this is the first ‘paint-cat’ case I’ve seen that is of this gravity. The skin, fur and paint all adhered together, there was no way to separate them.”

This latest animal torture case has caused a lot of discussion and anger amongst the community and local officials in Taiwan.
