A video filmed in Poland and shared on social media has drawn significant backlash from animal lovers. The footage shows a 5-year-old girl repeatedly swinging her pet cat, Kasper, by its hind legs into the air. The fear experienced by the screaming cat is clearly visible. The most striking detail is that the girl's mother, Grazyna Rogowska, is recording these moments while laughing.
Mother Rogowska shared the video on her TikTok account. As cheerful disco music plays in the background, the little girl first throws the cat into a ball pit, then catches it again and starts spinning it around by its hind legs. The cat's pained cries have tugged at the hearts of viewers.
Following the rapid spread of the footage, there was a strong reaction. Users demanded legal action against Rogowska and the safety of the cat. In response to the backlash, the mother claimed she was a victim due to the criticism she received. She said, "I could go to jail, and my daughter could be taken into state custody," while crying. However, the public found these statements unconvincing.
The Polish police have launched an investigation into the incident. It was noted that Rogowska could face up to 5 years in prison. The cat was urgently taken to a shelter due to sticky residues and cut fur found on its body. Shelter officials stated that the cat has been treated and is now safe. The incident has once again highlighted the importance of legal sanctions against animal cruelty.
