Target: ETO Taku, Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Japan
Goal: Ensure strict legal consequences for the alleged abandonment and mistreatment of a cat left to suffer in extreme heat.
A cat, now named “Miracle,” was reportedly abandoned in a locked flat for a month during a scorching summer, enduring temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius. According to reports, the animal survived by drinking toilet water and scavenging for leftover scraps. When found, rescuers say Miracle was emaciated, weak, and showing signs of possible brain damage. The cat was discovered by Animal Rescue Tanpopo in an apartment described as being filled with garbage, alcohol cans, and decaying food. Initially presumed dead, Miracle was rushed to a veterinary hospital and has been slowly recovering with proper care.
Authorities have arrested the owner, a 27-year-old woman, who reportedly confessed to leaving the cat behind without notifying the landlord. The conditions in which Miracle was forced to survive appear to indicate a severe case of neglect and animal cruelty. Reports suggest Miracle’s aggressive behavior upon rescue points to previous abuse.
Abandoning a pet in such a manner, forcing it to endure extreme heat, dehydration, and starvation, is unacceptable. If proven guilty, the alleged perpetrator must face the full extent of the law to serve as a deterrent against similar acts of cruelty. Call for strong legal action to uphold animal protection laws and prevent further cases of abandonment and mistreatment.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear ETO Taku,
The recent case of Miracle, a cat allegedly abandoned in a locked flat for a month amid extreme summer heat, is deeply disturbing. Reports indicate that the cat survived only by drinking toilet water and scavenging for scraps in an apartment filled with garbage. When discovered, rescuers say that Miracle was severely dehydrated, emaciated, and showing possible signs of brain damage. The cat’s apparent aggressive behavior further suggests prior mistreatment.
The alleged perpetrator has reportedly admitted to abandoning the cat, leaving her to suffer without food, water, or ventilation in deadly temperatures. Such actions would demonstrate severe negligence and animal cruelty, which must not go unpunished. Animal protection laws exist to prevent such suffering, and it is imperative that they be strictly enforced in this case.
We urge you to prosecute this case to the fullest extent of the law and impose appropriate penalties on the responsible party. Strong legal action will not only provide justice for Miracle but also serve as a critical deterrent against future instances of animal cruelty. Please ensure that this case is taken seriously and that all necessary measures are implemented to protect innocent animals from such treatment.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
