“It is sad in our hearts to see what is happening there over and over again,” writes Animal Protection Norway Bodø on their Facebook pages.
In the publication, which was published this weekend, the Danish Animal Protection Agency points a finger at the municipality of Røst in Nordland.
The island has had a large population of feral cats for several years. The animal shelter has repeatedly tried to catch homeless cats on the island. Many of the cats have been in such bad shape that they had to be killed.
Now Animal Protection believes enough is enough, and some need to be out in the field to put cats in safer hands.
“We cannot take away the responsibility that you have who live there. It has little purpose that we step onto the pier with all our resources without being welcomed, and that we have a common plan for the years to come. Without a good plan
only the problem will return, and more cats must suffer an unimaginable fate, “they continue.
It was Avisa Nordland who first mentioned the case.
Fishing bones in the mouth
The animal shelter writes that on previous visits they have observed a cat with a crater where an eye should have been.
They have also seen cats with fish bone in their mouths, cats that are inbred to such an extent that, among other things, a pregnant cat had no nipples, blind, emaciated cats, and cats with old lesions that should have been treated by
vet a long time ago.
In addition, they have observed cats with fangs, rotting and painful teeth, and sick cats that must be killed.
– Who is responsible for homeless cats is not very clear. We clearly believe that the municipality must shoulder its share of responsibility, general manager and veterinarian Åshild Roaldset at Animal Protection Norway tells TV 2.
– Disclaimer
Furthermore, Roaldset explains that there are many homeless cats across the country, so they choose to use the situation in Røst as an example.
– We have not been given a valid explanation as to why this cannot be handled. We believe there is a disclaimer for everyone who should have done something. The Animal Welfare Act states that it has a duty of warning and assistance, she says.
– The Food Safety Authority explains on its website that the police, the Food Safety Authority and the municipality are responsible for these cats, in their own way. Despite this, it is useless to notify. None of which should have taken action and helped animals do anything.
Therefore, we have an animal welfare law that doesn’t work for animals without an identification tag, because cats cannot be traced back to an owner, she believes.
