Man who ‘killed cats’ forced to eat poo as animal lovers serve up justice

A man who has been accused of torturing and killing cats was forced to eat poo by animal lovers.

The man – identified only as Lee, an office worker from the Suzhou region of China, in local reports – allegedly abused and killed the felines and shared harrowing footage of the attacks on social media while posing as an animal rescuer working to save abandoned pets.

He was then reportedly forced to kneel before the group as they covered him in poo and forced him to eat it.

Suzhou Police have said they have launched an investigation into the incident and are taking the matter seriously, adding both Lee and those involved in the attack would be dealt with

There has been speculation that the attack was carried out by members of the Suzhou Small Animal Protection Volunteers Association, a non-profit group that works to protect stray animals.

But the organisation reportedly took to Chinese social media site Weibo to say it would not do something that extreme.
