Shame on the officials

Wednesday, as she does every morning, Pascale Dineur out her cat, Leo. “He walks between 6 am and 45 pm 7 15 and after he returned to eat. We do not like it behind, said the resident of Frières-Faillouël that damn for a cat. We love them but it is perhaps not the case for everyone. We do not accuse anyone because we have no evidence, but still … “
Horror Vision
The family always had cats at home but in fourteen years in the village, 17 of them have disappeared. “Besides the neighborhood cats who are given to eat once in a while and suddenly, we no longer see them,” says the husband, Hervé.Until then, he was worried but since Wednesday, is outraged.
Usually, when Ms. Leo recalled to give him his lunch, he returned to power. Not this morning. “I heard a noise, I thought it was probably the neighbor’s barn. Leo and I recalled there, howling. I approached the fence and I saw him: he was in the neighbor’s property. “ The cat is lying down, not moving. “I thought he was watching a mouse.”
A vision of horror awaits Pascale Dineur when it approaches the fence. “He was screaming, it was something to the tab”: a leghold trap, once used to capture wolves or foxes, but banned for over twenty years (see also).
Pascale runs to the neighbor to Leo releases. “To my surprise, he did not go along the fence, where the cat was a prisoner, but behind his barn: it is said that there are others! “
The cat saved the family goes to the vet. Leo is doing relatively well: the jaws took the flesh, but the bones are not met. Time, reassured, diners are now embittered by the attitude of their neighbors. “We have just helped him out.He did not even apologize, nor did he address the proposed care, “Hervé Dineur plague, which received any explanation that the man wanted to trap the rats that were in his house. “Maybe, but the barn is not down my fence: fortunately Leo has been taken there, otherwise we would never have seen, said Pascale diners who will not stop there. I am very tolerant but they hurt the animals, no. “
Complaint
In addition to a complaint to the police Chauny for “unintentional injuries caused to a domestic animal,” the couple asked the SPA to 30 million of friends.
“We do ask that the reimbursement of expenses, or 75 euros. If they want to bring civil actions and to obtain damages, they leave everything, “says Hervé diners who is concerned about the presence of such traps in the heart of the village. He imagines, for example what would happen if a child stepped over the fence to retrieve a ball …
Lucie Lefebvre
We are not able to reach the neighbor, but our columns are open to him if he wishes to explain.
Once saved her cat, Hervé Dineur learned about the trap than his neighbor installed along the fence.
The trapper is not authorized
“My first surprise, by searching on the Internet, has been found that leghold traps, once used to capture wolves and foxes, are prohibited for over twenty years! “
The inhabitant of Frières-Faillouël then traveled to City Hall, especially to see if his neighbor was licensed trapper and if he had declared the implementation of its pitfalls.
“Nothing at all! “Plague the family man who also claims that the traps of any kind, shall be installed at over 200 meters of the houses, which is clearly not the case here.
“I think it installs at night and that he quietly removed the morning.Unfortunately, our cat has gone before him. “

Chancy, amputated after being trapped.

This is a terrible trap, equipped with jaws and once used to capture wolves and foxes.Prohibited use since 1995, yet it does damage in recent months in Deux-Sevres, especially for small cats. A Cerizay, Chancy, a brown tabby cat, has left a leg several weeks ago. The animal, which also suffered from diabetes, died a few days ago.

A Ligron, a small village near Mauzé-Thouarsais is Pepito, a cat in black and white dress, which then in turn is trapped and limb amputation. “Those who use these traps will tell you it is to catch rats, but this is doubtful in view of the pork rind used as bait, “says André Braux, delegates investigator Humane Society (APS) at Thouars, and the first witness this kind of abuse.
An animal abuse that cats are not the only ones to suffer: ponies tied with 1.50 m long and abandoned homeless dogs found riddled with lead shot or strangled by collars: the departmental section of the SPA is concerned about the recurrence of what its president calls “acts of barbarism.” “I do not know the situation in the neighboring departments, but the Deux-Sèvres are particularly mediaeval in this area, “ Pascal loose Cadet.

“No evidence”

A situation in which the SPA is planning 79, once the file securely sealed, to file a complaint for acts of cruelty. “In such cases, the problem is that in most cases, we are not in possession of evidence. We do not find such traps. With the exception of Ligron, where the cat had managed to go home dragging his master the craft. “
As the president of the section he calls any witnesses of animal abuse to refer to the association. “If you find a trap, especially do not touch it, call us. “ Finally, the president stressed the importance of sterilizing their cats to prevent proliferation in the wild. “For I imagine that if people ask traps because they have had it on and tired of seeing their garden invaded. I can not imagine other reasons …
