Uproar in France over cat run over by a train in Paris.
"The cat, Neko, which belonged to a woman and her 15-year-old daughter who were planning to travel to the southern city of Bordeaux by train, escaped from its travel bag and took refuge under a high-speed train, accordng to the AFP news agency.
Although railway staff were informed of the cat's presence under the train and requested to rescue it, the train departed nonetheless, with the daughter telling animal rights association 30 Million Friends that "we saw him sliced in half."
"They told us it wasn't their problem, that it was just a cat and that we should have had it on a leash," she said.
The train company then reportedly offered the owners a free ticket to Bordeaux and said staff were not allowed to go down onto the tracks because of the danger of electrocution."
" If the case were to go to court, it could mean a fine of up to €75,000 (more than $80,000) and a five-year jail sentence for those found guilty."
"France's Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin announced that the government was appointing 4,000 police officers and gendarmes across France to help prevent acts of violence against animals. "
Offering A free ticket to Bordeaux as a shut up and go away temptation? Bordeaux is the Bakersfield of France. Sorry if you're offended and like the wine, but it's a pit.
