A doomed cat! A woman was fined €1,250 because her cat regularly visited her neighbor's house... and this is no joke!
Rémi, the ginger cat from Rue de la Treille in Agde (Hérault), has been deemed a criminal by the court in Béziers. He is accused of causing damage: paw prints on a wall that was drying, urine on a duvet, and feces in the garden.
The judge fined his owner Dominique €1,250, with an additional penalty of €30 for each time Rémi crosses the fence again.
But that's not all: the cat is accused of being a repeat offender, and his owner has been summoned to appear in court again in December. The fine could rise to €2,000, with a penalty increased to €150 for each new visit by the ginger cat to the garden...
👉 Dominique laments: "In this 90-page court file, there is no real evidence that it was Rémi. There is another ginger cat in the neighborhood. Since the ruling, I've been keeping Rémi at home. He's gained weight and become aggressive. I can't even let him out into my garden for fear that he'll jump the fence. It's as if he's been sentenced to house arrest."
A story that is both absurd and sad.
Seriously, this government is a mess. Animals are free and independent; don't let the system control you.
They are until they come on my private property
So you're an animal killer?
It depends
haha damn you're scaring me.
Like at rat in my house you best believe buddy is going to die
I sincerely believe you.
Yikes!! Time to keep the cat in the house!
or fuck the gov
If that lady put out some antifreeze to stop that cat from invading her space then everyone would call the neighbor a monster.
That is a concern. Every once in a while we find a dead raccoon, and I wonder what happened. They can be a nuisance. We have so many cats on our property that it could turn into a very sad situation.
France's GDP is 57% government spending.
aka stealing people money
they will steal your money and then go after your cats
