College students apologize for torturing kitten to death
Online Edition
TWO male college students majoring in animal sciences in Sichuan Province have apologized after a video clip showing them torturing a kitten to death went viral online, Southern Metropolis Daily reported yesterday.
Their school, Sichuan Agricultural University, said it was “shocked” by their behavior and would punish the duo according to campus regulations.
The video clip was posted online yesterday. It started with one student strangling the kitten. The animal tried to escape but failed. Later one man grabbed the kitten’s head while the other pulled its body in the opposite direction, killing it.
The online post attached to the video said the students bought the kitten several days ago but had decided to return it and get a refund. They became angry after being refused and killed the cat for revenge, according to the post.
The two students yesterday published apologies online. They said they bought the kitten on March 21 from a pet market for 150 yuan and were promised they could return it if they couldn’t raise it well.
They later found the kitten too noisy in the dorm and tried to return the animal, the students said in their apology statement.
The seller only agreed to return 50 yuan, the students said.
They grew furious and decided to kill the cat to vent their anger, the students added.
“I am sorry about killing the cat. I am very sad. It’s my fault and I should not have killed the cat. I do not dare to ask an apology from those who love cats. I am sorry to the school as well,” one of them wrote in his apology letter.
