Marrakech – Mahfoud Laafar, a prominent sanitation worker in Morocco, has ignited widespread fury on social media with a video revealing his shocking discovery of frozen cat corpses in a landfill.
Expressing deep dismay, Laafar documented finding the bodies of cats, some bearing traces of serums on their limbs, which led him to suspect they may have perished at a veterinary clinic.
“This is the first time I’ve encountered such a case in my career,” Laafar stated, raising concerns about potential illegal activities leading to the deaths of these animals.
The landfill where the corpses were discovered is equipped with surveillance cameras, prompting hopes that they may provide crucial insights into the circumstances surrounding the cats’ deaths.
Sharing the disturbing video with his followers, Laafar sought feedback and experiences from others who may have encountered similar situations, triggering an outcry online. Commenters expressed shock and demanded action against those responsible for what they deemed a crime against defenseless creatures.
Speculation among followers ranged from attributing the acts to potential mental illness of an individual to linking the cats’ fate to practices associated with sorcery and witchcraft.
Critics condemned the apparent cruelty inflicted upon the cats, urging that even if a veterinary clinic was involved, the animals deserved more respectful treatment in death.
As of now, the local municipality has not issued an official statement regarding the incident. An investigation is underway to ascertain responsibility for discarding the cat corpses and determine if any animal cruelty laws were violated. Advocates for animal welfare are calling for stringent accountability for those found culpable in this distressing case.
