En Belgique, la vidéo provoque l’indignation Capture d'écran X

In Belgium, a video of a sheep being mistreated and killed by children sparks outrage. Adults who witnessed the scene did not stop these children.

In Merelbeke, in East Flanders, several children, armed with plastic guns, had fun mistreating a sheep, causing the death of the animal. All this, under the eyes of several adults who did not react. Recently posted online, the video caused a wave of indignation on social networks, indicates the Belgian media RTL Info.

In Belgium, the president of the animal rights organization GAIA, Michel Vandenbosch, declared that he would file a complaint."That shows once again how important it is to give animals this constitutional protection. We don't let animals suffer for our own pleasure. On behalf of GAIA, we are going to file a complaint, because we cannot let this happen", he declared.

Up to five years of imprisonment

With this complaint, GAIA hopes that those responsible will be prosecuted for their actions. "An investigating judge will first have to take stock of the entire case: why this happened -he produces, why didn't anyone stop the children? We also have to wonder what that sheep was doing in the garden", explains Michel Vandenbosch.
