Beijing Couple Throw Around & Drown Kitten In Water Puddle

A Chinese woman in Beijing holding a kitten by its tail in a water puddle.

From Sohu & QQ:

Video explodes on internet showing a man and woman pair abusing a cat in a puddle, repeatedly pressing the cat under water

Holding it a cat by the tail pressing it underwater, throwing the cat into the puddle from over a meter away… Two nights ago, a [Beijing] Tongzhou district Dafang residential neighborhood resident posted on the internet a video of a man and woman couple abusing a cat.

Kitten gets out of water only to be pressed down again

This cat abuse video appeared on the Batong and Tudou websites, the video being 4 and a half minutes long.

The video was recorded from above in a building in the neighborhood, with the scene in the video being of a low-lying plot of land that had not yet been leveled and had become a water puddle.

In the video, a female wearing red was squatting beside the puddle, her left hand holding a spotted white cat’s tail, the cat being over 10 centimeters long. This woman first lifted the cat up, then put the cat into the water, waited for the cat to lift its head, lifted it up, pressed it into the water, repeating this multiple times.

Throughout this, a larger yellow cat approached, trying to get close and carry the kitten away in its mouth, but was driven away by the woman in red.

Afterward, a male wearing a pink t-shirt appeared on the other side of the puddle, lifted the kitten up three times and then threw the cat into the puddle from over a meter away.

Abused kitten whereabouts unknown

Yesterday, the netizen named “拐棒胡同” [guai bang hu tong] who had taken the video said the video was filmed two days before around 5pm, the location being the perimeter wall downstairs from the #330 building of the Dafang Residential Community, and that he does not himself know the man and woman who abused the cat. The entire cat abuse episode lasted over 30 minutes. Finally, the kitten was thrown by the man and woman into an underground basement next the water puddle.

Yesterday, next to the water puddle where the cat abuse occurred, no cat was seen. In a basement at the bottom of the #330 building wall, there were also no traces of the kitten.

Community residents speculate that the kitten probably was not drowned or thrown to death and crawled away. Residents say people began moving into the neighborhood at the end of last year and that people raising cats, dogs, and other small animals as pets were many, and there are also a lot of stray cats around the neighborhood. Judging by the video, the abused kitten may be a stray cat, while the large cat that appeared in the video may have been the mother cat.

The community’s security guards and residents have never seen the cat abusers in the video. An worker for the property’s engineering department said that the abusers may very well live in the #330 building.

Yesterday, many netizens said they want to human flesh search the man and woman cat abusers.

Humans are becoming more and more like animals, whereas animals are becoming more and more like humans. For example, the big cat in this news, it is much more human than those two-legged animals!

搜狐江苏省苏州市网友:

Cats too have souls like humans. Only atheists could do this kind of barbaric thing, ignorant of judgment [karma], unafraid of judgment [karma], and not knowing why there is judgment [karma] when that judgment [karma] comes, a completely ignorant life.

搜狐吉林省吉林市网友:

Sick!
Maybe it is because normally they are always being bullied/abused themselves.
Either that or this lousy man and woman aren’t human at all.

搜狐手机网友:

The person filming/photographing is able to just stand there as well? Sigh, truly a case where all of them have problems/something wrong with their heads/hearts.

搜狐手机网友:

I can’t bear to watch anymore, I curse them to also be cats in a future life, and have lives 100x worse than that little cat. This society’s scum, this planet’s human scum, this planet’s beasts!

搜狐手机网友:

[These two are] worse than beasts! Arrest them and torture them like this as well! Sentence them, sentence them! Strict laws should drafted against animal abuse!

搜狐手机网友:

[They] must be beaten crippled. Hurry, find them, and then hold them down in a puddle of water.

The mother cat tries to rescue the kitten away.

Comments from NetEase:

网易广东省惠州市网友 [fanduanxian]:

I’ve raised many cats before, and to be honest: A mother cat can overcome all fear and hunger for its kitten, and no matter how strong the opponent is, no matter how scared it is, when her kitten is threatened, she will never retreat and will always rush forth.
In my heart I will always admire this natural mother instinct.
I only saw the beginning of this video and couldn’t watch any further, because I saw two netizens say that the mother cat will appear later in the video and so didn’t need to watch to know that anyone with even a slight amount of kindness would be unable to watch further.
In the beginning, I saw that it was a woman, and I heard that there is a man later. So-called people and things that are similar tend to attract each other, so if these two people are trash, could the person making the video not be trash as well? Filming for half an hour, you fucking couldn’t have saved [the cat during that time]? At most maybe you would have had to give that pair of garbage several tens of kuai money to buy [the cat] and then free it.
If you guys are trying to get publicity, go to hell, you pile of garbage, you couldn’t do so another way? You guys are going to get what’s coming to you, that’s for certain!!!

网易陕西省西安市网友:

A few days ago Hong Kong had someone who was using a gun to shoot kittens for fun, and the consequences of this cat abuse was: This guy was beaten to death in his home two days later. Hahaha, I’m in anticipation…

网易北京市网友:

If you’re a true Beijing man, then human flesh search this lousy man and woman pair out and give them a beating.

肥腊 [网易广东省广州市网友]:

The person filming, if I were you, I would have have gone down and beaten these two bastards. Or if I were you, I would expose these two people’s identities.

0545467248 [网易浙江省宁波市网友]:

Dead cunt: I’ll offer 2000 yuan to anyone who will help humanity take out a this lousy man and woman pair.

lixiaolu0 [网易江苏省苏州市网友]:

Truly an inhuman thing to do, simply worse than beasts, so cruel, I can’t watch any further.

      I saw casual animal abuse like this all the time in China. I also saw a guy with his legs ripped open, laying outside an emergency room and a dead girl laying in the street and cars driving around her.

      It’s a developing country, this doesn’t seem like such a big deal.

      • sumyonggai

        name one country which is not developing?

      • Scytheria

        “It’s a developing country” – such a lame, pathetic excuse.

        Humans are not born cruel, and they do not need to ‘develop’ out of it. Cruelty like this is a feature of Chinese society – something that it has cultured and now needs to lose, not ‘develop’ out of.

        • angryman

          “Humans are not born cruel, and they do not need to ‘develop’ out of it. ”

          Errrm, yes they are- just look at chimp (or early childhood- ever pop ants with a magnifying glass?) behavior. We are not pleasant animals. Society is a way for humanity to constrain and channel its nastiness- and Chinese society may be indifferent, but it is not inherently cruel.

          Indifference is a common trait in large, developing countries- because most people have other things to worry about that are more personally pressing, like survival and advancement.

        • Tommy

          Well Taiwan and Hong Kong–both of which are Chinese people with Chinese culture doing Chinese things–don’t usually show this level of cruelty to animals or other people.

  • Snicker

    Soooo…let’s see here…trains falling, Norwegians dying, druggie rockstars kicking the bucket…so…how about them kittens in the puddle?

  • kate

    ANIMAL CRUELTY LAWS needs to be implemented. and um neuter and spay ur pets and stop being such neandertals. FU. may u mofos rot in the underworld and gets eaten by a 3 headed beast

  • http://candosino.wordpress.com terroir

    They’re so cruel… are they Japanese?

    But Japanese have better fashion sense; and over there neon pink isn’t used as a stock color that worn indiscriminately with everything…. I’m soooo confused.

    • Leo

      Alas no, young Skywalker, the Japanese like to record and distribute the sadistic abuse of PUSSY, not cats. This is a purely Chinese phenomenon. Easy mistake to make.

    • Miwa

      No, this took place in Beijing China, as the headline says. Please keep in mind, Japanese people are compassionate towards animals, we love animals, they are friends for life, they always have been a great part of our lives…. which of course does not mean there is no animal abuse. But think about it, there are good and bad in every country, there is no country without abuse, it’s a human thing, humans ( the specie homo sapiens )are the problem all around the world, egoistic, indifferent, criminals getting more and more sadistic, and the latter sort must be gotten rid of and punished properly, since they are also a great danger for the society. We should not tolerate any kind of abuse.

  • Foreign Devil

    How about some articles on the fake Apple Store scandals and the bullet train crashes?? THe rest of hte world is talking about these Chinese news items. . isn’t CHina?? Please don’t do an article about Chinese reactions to AMy Whinyhouse. Nobody cares about that!

    • http://candosino.wordpress.com terroir

      I’ll say this about the bullet train crash — in the terrible PR state they’re in, we’re going to see a whole lot more bullet train wedding videos.

      After a mass wedding at the launch and a in-transit proposal after the breakdowns last week, I’m predicting the next wedding video will be a soft-core panda shoot, very rainforest steamy.

      The tagline to the video will be: “What’s black and white and read in-between the lines as your patriotic duty to support?” The soft-core panda video will be called “Eats Beave’s and Shoots”

    • patriot (aka We Never Left!)

      That’s true. Fauna needs to stop showing all these fluff pieces. Is she working for the CCP or something? She must be a 50-center. We want to see how evil China is and how much the people are suffering under Chinese rule. Chinasmack is all about giving Westerners are voice towards China.

  • http://candosino.wordpress.com terroir

    Fauna sometimes is a bit subtle, but I wanted to emphasize it much before we reach 200 comments of generalizing:

    *this totally happened and no one is covering it up
    *netizen response is overwhelming negative, and the online lynch mob threatens to rise again to exact online justice
    *the news reports are completely owning up to this, as is online news sources

    which means: while the conditions exist for terrible things like this to happen, the conditions also exist to show that Chinese are overwhelming against this cruelty.

    Chinese aren’t all the generalizing you generalizers make them out to be. As bad as this story is, this story also shows how normal Chinese react in horror to this — meaning this isn’t normal, and that people know this is wrong (online, anyways).

    “Cats too have souls like humans. Only atheists could do this kind of barbaric thing, ignorant of judgment [karma], unafraid of judgment [karma], and not knowing why there is judgment [karma] when that judgment [karma] comes, a completely ignorant life.”

    I can’t help but think this comment rings slightly true. While I do not agree that a lack of religion is the problem (just look at all the religious and political extremists that kill people in the name of religion) or the cause is an abundance of Atheism (I respect Atheism/Agnosticism), but I agree that it’s a lack of morality that causes people to commit unspeakable acts of cruelty and selfishness. Morals are going down the tubes nowadays.

    If you have never been taught any familial/cultural/religious values, don’t believe in karma and live a non believing, egoistic, utterly selfish life where YOU are the only power, then what is to stop you from committing any cruel or perverse act such as this, since there is no higher judgement? I agree a lack of perceived value in anything except money and possessions leads to a ruthless, perverse, ignorant lifestyle. Nothing to believe in, an utterly ignorant existence, which leads to sickening cruelty like this, among other things like schoolgirls shamelessly selling their bodies to 50 year old married businessmen, in return for a Hermès handbag.

    • Jones

      Atheism doth not equal “lack of morals”. Stop ignorantly attacking it, or you’re going to merit people pointing out the most recent mass slaughters of innocent people having been conducted out of religious beliefs. Seriously. If anything kills morals, it’s religious beliefs.

      I’m Atheist, and it’s not so much that I have “nothing to believe in”, but more that I’m free from ancient, spooky fairy tales dictating my life.

      • Leo

        Why don’t you actually read what I just wrote before flaming, you moron.

        • Jones

          Um, I did. Go reread what you said in the last two paragraphs. Twat.

          • Bruce

            If Augustine’s theological struggles with the Pelagians had half as much pith and verve as the delicate dalliance of your souls above, things may have turned out better for the world. Thank you, gentlemen.

          • Ray

            He said:

            “While I do not agree that a lack of religion is the problem or the cause is an abundance of Atheism , but I agree that it’s a lack of morality that causes people to commit unspeakable acts of cruelty and selfishness.” (Removed the brackets cus they might cause confusiong)

            He clearly says that its not lack of religion or abundance of Atheism, but it is the fault of ppl that lack morals.

            He does not say that Atheist lacks morals. Last paragraph is directed at anyone who is:
            “never been taught any familial/cultural/religious values, don’t believe in karma and live a non believing, egoistic, utterly selfish life where YOU are the only power”

            It doesn’t say that Atheist are any of those.

            So I’m defending Atheists and him.

      • Jay

        If you don’t believe in any god, where did you get your morals?

        If there is no one to see, no one to know, why not break those morals and steal? Murder? Do whatever it takes to get ahead / get what you want in life? Nothing is forbidden except what society forbids – and almost all of that is based on some moral strictures in some religious text.

        It’s all good, do what you want. Free yourself.

        • Andrew

          I’m an atheist and I got my morals from myself; fortunately, I don’t need someone watching my every movement to do the right thing. Those who require the supervision of a divine being to do what is right aren’t truly good; good people don’t do good out of the fear of punishment, but because they personally feel it’s what’s right.

          I don’t steal and commit murder because I have a conscious telling me these acts are wrong. Religious morality isn’t necessarily that good either; for example, condemning anyone to an eternity of suffering, regardless of their character, simply because they didn’t believe is barbaric and horrid. To support such an idea, even for those who have committed atrocities, is atrocious itself because everyone deserves redemption.

    • Irvin

      The purpose of religion isn’t to teach morals, it is to control and get money out of people. It is the first ponzi scheme. The morals only came as a byproduct as an orderly (harmoniously?) society is easier to control and indoctrinate.

      Please don’t think you’re standing on the moral high ground just because you’re religious, because you’re not, the only thing you’re insinuating if you say “I believe in god” is how much of the rest of the world you’re shutting yourself out of.

    • http://www.echinacities.com Earthworm

      I don’t think this has anything to with religion.

      This has nothing to do with lack of education either.

      This is about people who lack an innate moral code. If you can spend any amount of time bullying a tiny defenseless kitten without feeling any remorse, then there’s something seriously wrong with your moral wiring.

      • woof

        This has everything to do with religion….or atleast the teachings of moral code.

        The law can not possibly dictate what is right or wrong for every possible situation (China tries but sorry not possible). That is why the gap has to be filled by religion/education/parenting. ALL of which are lacking today. You may say TV/Internet are supposed to bridge this gap….but does it?

        There was a lot of brainwashing that happened here about 50 years ago. The code that has been programmed into everyone since has been: get fed, get shelter, and get rich at all costs. Morals? there’s no time to learn about that….

        EVERYTHING wrong in China today can be easily pinned down to a lack of morals. And sadly there’s no quick way to solve it.

      • Leo

        That’s what I was trying to say bro. Morality is officially dead. Yay.

        @Ray – Glad someone got it.

    If you notice that most incident occur in china, I Chinese and i think specially most Chinese people in china they don’t really have a heart and actually help any incident, when they see something happen they just stand and look. The amount of animal abuse and people that ganging up on one person in china i find it so sick i hope that these people will get serious punishment.

  • hanyucha

    I was riding through Chaoyang the other day, and I saw a car hit a really tiny grey kitten. The kitten must have suffered brain damage becuase it kept walking around in circles and spazzing out.

    This old fella on a bicycle came over, took it over to the grass verge and stamped on its head then threw it into the bushes. The cat was well and truly dead.

    A woman asked him why he didn’t take the cat to the animal hospital. He just said it was the right thing to do. I am inclined to believe he was right.

    I do not condone drowning kittens!

    • Just John

      Yes, but I believe these two situations are different.

      From the sounds of it, the old man probably did it to put the cat out of it’s misery (Assuming here, could be he just wanted to kill cats, but in the situation, it does not appear to be so), while what misery is this couple putting the kitten out of, the misery of THEIR presence?

    You Chinese are really bad for the private individual abuse of animals – this cat incident, roasting puppies alive, the animal stomping whores including a fat one torturing a dog to death (whatever happened to this? still going on to make money? anybody care?), etc. etc. Sure there is animal abuse in the West with pets and livestock but it really seems to be a cultural thing with you people…

    I see a lot of criticism by Chinese Netizens.

    But criticizing on the internet and doing something in real life is different.

    I’ve seen some terrible things here and everyone stood by and watched.

    I’m sure they went home and pasted some crap on their QQ account, but the point is that they did nothing.

    I saw someone drown a puppy and eat it once. I attempted to stop them and was laughed at for being American and caring about animal rights.

    Ok, so I didn’t see them eat it. I left after getting nothing accomplished during the drowning process.

    But they told me it was tasty later.

      Tell that to my cat, who would step on the tail of a mouse, watch it run around trying to get free, then remove her paw from it’s tail.

      As the mouse tried to get away, my cat would again put her paw on it’s tail and watch it run around her paw trying to get away.

      This was while I was young, and my mom finally got tired of watching it, so she picked the mouse up and threw it outside.

      The cat followed, and a few minutes later came back in licking her chops.

  • Smurf_flower

    Please don’t say only Atheists do that kind of stuff. I am an atheist and I love all animals, they ALL deserve respect and the right to live. Atheists are more likely to do as much good as they can because we only have one life to do it, not do something a sadist would do. I’ve seen religious people commit terrible acts (and worse) just like these two people with the kitten. It’s sick and they need some serious counselling or something that will get them to see that what they are doing is NOT RIGHT.

  • Smurf_flower

    And for the people putting down China for the animal abuse….I’ll bet all of my money that there people in YOUR country that are doing the same kind of things. And at the same time there are good people who don’t approve of this abuse in China and all over the world. Don’t condem a whole nation for the wrongdoings of some sick minded individuals

  • Kittylover123

    What the fuck is wrong with people in society, do they not have hearts? Why would you do such a thing to a poor and innocent creature. It’s unfortunate that animals do not have voices to speak with on behalf of their part. I also don’t understand how the person filming this could just stand there and watch this. That woman was drowning a kitten, what in the fuck is going on in that woman’s mind? It would hurt me to even think that someone would do this. It’s disgusting. This frustrates me so much. She, the man, and the person recording this should all be SEVERELY punished. She has got to be insane, as well as that man. I very much hope that that woman and the man, as well as the person recording this rot in hell.
