Three boys arrested for animal cruelty | Inland

During the night from Thursday to Friday, the police received various reports that images of the assaults had been put online. The identity of the perpetrators was discovered and they were invited to the police station on Saturday. There they were arrested.

A police spokesperson does not want to say what exactly can be seen in the images and which animals it concerns. “These are horrible images. Given the seriousness of the abuse and the violent reactions that the acts have provoked, we will not make any further statements about this. ”

Images of the abuse can be seen on the website of Omroep Brabant. For example, the boys push a hedgehog into a well and swing a cat by its tail into the water.

According to the police, many people were disturbed by the film images and helped with the detection. Some of them have made threats with the images. According to the spokesman, those people will be prosecuted if their identity is discovered. “Playing or threatening to play your own judge is just as stupid and punishable as the boys,” said the police.
