Event Review: Four Golden Granular Cats were tragically abused and died
According to the videos and pictures provided by netizens, the man involved committed extremely cruel abuse on the four Jinjian cats, including beatings, suffocation, etc., which eventually led to the death of all the cats. Jinjian Layer is a pet cat breed with a high market value, and the price per single is usually ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of yuan. After the incident was exposed, the man involved was taken away by the police for investigation, and the case is currently under further investigation.

Lawyer's Interpretation: Standards for filing crimes of intentional destruction of property
At present, my country has not yet issued a special animal protection law. Similar cat abuse incidents are usually held accountable for the crime of "intentional destruction of property" in the Criminal Law. Lawyer Zhang from a law firm in Beijing interpreted this:
| Legal terms | Case filing standards | Applicability analysis |
|---|---|---|
| Article 275 of the Criminal Law | Intentionally destroying public and private property, with a large amount or other serious circumstances | Jinjian layer is a property with market value. If the total value reaches more than 5,000 yuan, a case can be filed. |
| "Public Security Administration Punishment Law" | Intentionally destroy public and private property | If the value of the property is insufficient to the filing standard, it may be detained for 5-10 days and fined. |
Lawyer Zhang said: "Based on the current information, the total value of the four gold strata is likely to meet the criminal filing standards. But if the suspect can prove that the cat is owned by him, it may not constitute a crime. This highlights the shortcomings of our country in animal protection legislation."
Experts call for anti-animal cruelty legislation
Professor Li from China University of Political Science and Law pointed out: "In recent years, animal abuse has occurred frequently, but the legal punishment is insufficient. It is recommended to refer to foreign experience, and a special animal protection law will be imposed on animal abuse alone, and a special animal protection law has been established." According to statistics, more than 100 countries and regions around the world have formulated anti-animal abuse laws.
Follow-up progress: The man involved may face legal sanctions
The latest news shows that local police have intervened in the investigation and are verifying the ownership and value of the cat. Animal protection organization "It Fund" said it will assist in providing legal support. At the same time, multiple e-commerce platforms have removed the store information of the man involved.
This incident has once again attracted public attention to animal protection. Many netizens called out: "I hope to take this as an opportunity to promote the legislative process of animal protection so that every life can receive the respect it deserves."
