New developments have surfaced in the distressing case of stray cat deaths at Universiti Malaya (UM).
Recent findings have confirmed that one of the cats, named Lily, was brutally killed by human intervention, contradicting earlier reports suggesting stray dog attacks, according to animal rights activist, Shima.
A post-mortem examination conducted by a private veterinarian revealed that Lily’s limbs were severed using sharp instruments, with clean cuts observed at the joints.
Additional injuries included extensive damage to her thoracic region, exposing internal organs, and a lack of typical bite marks or puncture wounds.
These findings highlight that the injuries were inflicted deliberately by a person.
Animal rights activist Shima has condemned the incident, stating that the evidence clearly points to human cruelty.
“Lily’s injuries are consistent with the use of sharp tools, not animal attacks. The perpetrator behind this heinous act must be identified and held accountable,” she said during a press conference.
On Dec 20, @shimaaris shared a post highlighting the deaths of Lily at one of the buildings in UM.
The disturbing posts raised alarm over the mysterious deaths and called for immediate action from university authorities.
She expressed frustration, stating, “Another dead cat this morning at UM… this is clearly not caused by dogs! What (is being) covered up?”
These cats, often seen as friendly companions on the campus, had brought joy to many students and staff, who shared heartfelt tributes and mourned their loss on social media.
