Protest Against Cruelty: When Will There Be a Functional Animal Police?

Today, Sofia and major cities across the country are becoming the stage for protests against animal abuse. Citizens and activists are uniting around one main demand – the creation of an effective animal police force to stop the growing wave of sadism.

"We are observing an alarming trend – the perpetrators are getting younger, and cases of cruelty are becoming more frequent," warn the "KAZHI" Foundation.

International Echo and Revelations

The "KAZHI" Foundation not only exposed the cases of sadism in our country (Pernik and Svishtov), but also played a key role in the arrest of Daiana Almeida in Brazil. She had been distributing online videos of animal torture for profit.

What are the protesters demanding?

The organizers are insisting on urgent legislative changes that cover all animals, not just pets and strays. State will is needed to put an end to the "culture of violence" that is spilling over from the web into real life.
