After reading about the cat murder, Noah – who works for animal rights in society – now offers a reward to the person or people who can come up with crucial information that leads to the perpetrator being identified and caught.
On Tuesday last week, between 21:00 and 22:00, the cat Prins was shot and killed in Borregaardsveien in Sarpsborg. Now Noah offers a reward of NOK 10,000 to anyone who has tips that can lead to the perpetrator being found. A cyclist heard shots from what was probably an air rifle, and alerted the police when he observed a cat that was obviously injured. When the police arrived, Prins was already dead. Both the cat’s owners and NOAH have reported the case, reads the press release from Noah.
– It is important that they are caught
– Over the past four years, Noah has reported over 30 cases involving the shooting of cats. It is important that people who are capable of harming animals in this way are discovered and punished. That’s why Noah is now offering a reward of 10,000 to anyone who has tips that can lead to the perpetrator being found, says Siri Martinsen, veterinarian and manager at Noah, who also states that cats are among the animals most often exposed to violence, and in many cases, the cases are dropped without a perpetrator being found.
– We see that there is a high risk of repetition when the perpetrator escapes punishment. There is often a section that sits with information and does not know that it may be relevant to clarifying a case. It is important that people tell the police and let them assess whether the tips are good enough, concludes Martinsen in the press release.
