Target: Gali Baharav Miara, Attorney General of Israel
Goal: Ensure grocery store owner convicted of freezing cat for 14 hours receives the maximum penalty.
A deeply troubling case of animal cruelty has surfaced in Ashdod, where a grocery store owner was convicted of capturing a stray cat and placing it in a freezer for 14 hours. The cat was trapped in an ice cream freezer, enduring extreme cold temperatures that caused severe frostbite and immense suffering. Despite the defendant’s claims that he was unaware of the cruelty involved, the court rejected his defense, recognizing that the prolonged confinement in such harsh conditions amounted to torture and abuse.
The defendant admitted that he had been frustrated by the cat’s presence in his grocery store, citing damage to his business and fear from his employees. However, his decision to place the cat in the freezer, leading to significant physical harm, is a clear violation of the Animal Abuse Law and appears to reflect a total disregard for the welfare of animals. Veterinary experts confirmed that the cat suffered greatly, with its legs frozen to the point of severe frostbite.
The court has yet to issue a sentence, but it is imperative that the maximum penalties under the law be imposed. Ensure strict legal consequences to deter such acts of cruelty.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Gali Baharav Miara,
I am writing to express my deep concern over the recent conviction of an Ashdod grocery store owner for trapping a stray cat in a freezer for 14 hours, resulting in severe frostbite and immense suffering for the animal. Such a heinous act of cruelty is a clear violation of the Animal Abuse Law and represents an extreme lack of compassion and responsibility toward animals.
The defendant’s actions, which included placing the cat in a running ice cream freezer, caused prolonged and unnecessary pain to a helpless animal. Despite multiple warnings from veterinary experts about the physical damage the cat endured, the defendant continued to claim ignorance of the cruelty involved. This case of abuse is both morally and ethically reprehensible, and it is essential that justice is served.
As you prepare to sentence the defendant, I urge you to impose the maximum penalty allowed under the law. Animal cruelty must be met with strong legal consequences to send a clear message that such inhumane treatment will not be tolerated. It is vital that we protect the most vulnerable in our society, including animals, and ensure that those who harm them are held fully accountable.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Heartbreaking 💔
The abuser actually didn’t think that putting a cat in a freezer for 14hrs. wouldn’t cause any damage?!!! What planet is he from?! What an idiot or bad liar or both!! He needs to pay all vet bills and do civil service at a rescue.
Exactly! Such a liar. He was cruel and indifferent to the cat’s suffering!
This is a nasty sack of sh!t. Unbelievable such lives are allowed.
I’ll place him in my freezer and open it after 14 hours, that’ll show him the torture, then I’ll close the lid and lock it till he’s completely frozen solid piece of shit evil scum!!!
Is this lying piece of excrement Jewish? Not good enough that he adds it to his Yom Kippur list. Seek the max for him, please. “Employees afraid of the cat???” Really? Lies, lies, and more lies
Todah Rabah in advance for doing your job
Like I’ve said before. Do the same to them if you want justice. Fines and some shirt jail times don’t do shit. Eye for an eye. Even if it means 6 feet under
I totally agree!!!! Eye for eye!!!! Maybe then the other animal abusing jerk offs will think twice!!!
There is no rehabilitation for certain crimes and animal abuse is one of them!!!
What is the condition of the cat now? Or did she die or was she euthanized?
This is extreme cruelty and there should be extreme punishment.
This dear little cat suffered immensely for no reason. He/she was just looking to survive. Asshole…show some compassion.
I think this bastard should be shut in his own freezer. See how it feels to have his limbs frozen solid.
Gali Baharav Miara, Attorney General of Israel …Please send the right message and show compassion with the maximum penalties of law. Give this sweet little angel her justice for the horrible suffering she endured!!!!
What happened to the cat? And… can we please get updates on these petitions! This could be sort of sick joke by Animal Petitions.org and they are playing sick games with us!?! Feedback please!!
Agreed!
This is exactly what I have said in my submission.
Do these acts of animal torture ACTUALLY happen? Are we submitting for nothing or what? Unlike Animal Victory, I have NEVER-EVER seen anything on here appertaining to any prosecution of these animal torturing bastards!!!
Not sure if I am wasting my time or what!! No information, no NOTHING!!! Although I keep submitting in hope that someone or some animal activist groups can get to these ‘ alleged’ Animal torturing bastards and give them what they deserve! Assuming they exist that is!!
J.W.
Freeze this POS, enough with going soft on animal abusers. Do back to them precisely as they do to animals; it would all stop in no time at all as they are all utter cowards
They need to send this asshole to Lebanon or Gaza and let the terrorists torture and kill him.
Israel is the terrorist state… what a typical Karen. This cruel man embodies exactly what Israel is all about
This is a petition. Let’s act like respectful adults.
What a horrid person, and a waste of oxygen.
THE ASSHOLE DESERVES TO BE TAKEN OUTSIDE AND SHOT WITH A 40 CALIBRE!!!!! I TELL YOU THE WHOLE WORLD IS GOING TO HELL REAL QUICK!!!!
Exactly what this bastard needs. Sooner than later. I’m sure there are many the same as me who would happily despatch this nasty fucker and feel good about it afterwards. In a chest freezer would be good knowing that the piece of shit was suffering as was the innocent cat. Enough is enough— these animal torturing bastards need to be DEAD!!!
J.W.
You would think what’s going on in Israel most have seen enough cruelty and torture!
Do the same to whoever dared to do this to that poor cat!
Another worthless mother-fucker that is going to get away with torturing an animal. If anyone here thinks that the justice system and the judge is going to give this piece of shit any real justice, then I’ve got a bridge in San Francisco that I want to sell you. He’s going to walk like every other cocksucker that abuses and tortures animals. Hell, you can’t give a mother-fucker the death penalty if he does a home invasion and rapes and kills a whole family. So why do you think that an animal abuser is going to get any just punishment? The answer: He’s not!!!!!!!!!!!!!
An eye for an eye!!!
Put this CRUEL & ABUSIVE ASSHOLE INSIDE A FREEZER AND LOCKHIM INSIDE FOR DOUBLE THE TIME THAT HE DID TO THIS INNOCENT DEFENSELESS CAT!!!
Torture … then EXECUTE this repulsive POS!!!!
PROSECUTE THAT HEARTLESS PIECE OF SHIT TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW & HOPEFULLY SOMEONE WILL LOCK HIM IN A FREEZER AND JUST WALK AWAY. JUSTICE FOR THIS INNOCENT CAT.
