Tweeters were also surprised through their posts that a person killed an innocent animal for no reason.
And a tweet wrote, “What did the cats do to you … – you think – killing creatures in this hideous way is legally permissible or a heroic act that we thank you for?”

Are cats really able to transmit diseases to humans?
After the spread of the Corona virus around the world, there has been an increase in research related to pets and the extent to which they transmit diseases and viruses to each other or to humans.
And a Chinese research team at the Harbin Institute of Veterinary Research in China found that cats are susceptible to Covid 19 and appear to be able to transmit the virus through its spray through the air to other cats.
Experts said that the results of the research are credible, but did not indicate the possibility of cats transmitting the disease to humans.
Professor Eric Fever, head of infectious disease control at the University of Liverpool, said: “People should take the usual precautions such as washing hands when contacting their pets and avoiding excessive intimate contact with them, especially if a person is sick with Covid 19. It is important to add that the study does not show how the virus can It is transmitted from the cat to humans through infection. ”
While Professor Jonathan Ball, a virologist at the University of Nottingham, said similar observations of disease transmission in cats were made in relation to SARS, which is closely related to Covid 19.
He added, “We must remember that cats do not play a major role in the spread of this virus .. It is clear that the transmission of infection from humans to humans is a fundamental factor for Corona virus, so there is no need to panic about the belief that cats are a major source of infection transmission. If someone is It is believed that he is sick with Covid 19 and is in contact with cats, he must limit close contact with his animal until he recovers.
