Justice? Chinese cat torturer on Koh Phi Phi gets suspended sentence and deportation

 

 

A shocking case of animal cruelty perpetrated by a Chinese tourist against stray cats on the island of Koh Phi Phi has resulted in a swift court decision. 

 

However,the court of social media will decide whether it was justice or not, notes Thaivisa. 

 

Chee Hang, 30, rounded up cats and took them to his room where he extracted claws, tied their legs together, put cut off plastic bottles over their heads and stuffed them in the fridge.

 

Hotel staff called in Watchdog Thailand after finding a lot of blood and animal hair. The police on the island were soon notified.

 

Chee had arrived in Thailand in February and had stayed in several hotels on the island in the south of Thailand.

 

The Krabi court gave Chee a six month prison sentence suspended for a year. He was ordered to pay a 15,000 baht fine. 

 

He was detained by the Koh Phi Phi police who were to hand him over to immigration for immediate deportation. 

 

In earlier reports Chee claimed that what he did would not be illegal in China and he had no idea about the Thai law. 

 

A heart wrenching video posted on Channel 7 national news showed some of the horrific things that Chee had done to the animals.

 

He was prosecuted for animal cruelty under laws promulgated in 2014.

Honestly, that is more than I expected. Not enough, but still more than I expected.

Would have been 500 baht and a wai for a Thai, so penalty is within normal limits....

"In earlier reports Chee claimed that what he did would not be illegal in China and he had no idea about the Thai law"

 

Unfortunately true, toture and extreme cruelty to animals in China is not illegal and seems to be a national pastime.  It also means a society of psychopaths being unchecked as most begin with animal torture before moving onto humans.  Dangerous indeed.

 

I have seen horrific footage of what happens to live animals and how they are boiled alive, skinned alive, deep fried alive, lifted with hooks, stuffed in cages, other animals eaten still alive.  It is barbaric and evil.  The dog slaughter festival is a disgrace.  Every psychopath is there to enjoy cruelty and torture.  Cats get a raw deal too,  as well as most other creatures there.  'Adrenaline' from fear makes the meat sweet apparently so taste takes preference over torture.  

Totally conflicts with Thai laws and Thai Buddhist cultures that are meant to respect animals.  

 

And, no you cannot then say, oh what about the Western countries that kill intelligent cows etc.  There are psychos everywhere, but a robust developed modern civilised country has cruelty laws, regulators, avenues for prosecution, hospital incarceration, prison sentences and heavy fines.

There's the problem.....

[Grumpy one]

So we can expect him back in a few weeks as a valued quality tourist

It is not about laws. This guy obviously has a severe mental problem. 

[Orton Rd]

Catastrophic for the kitty killer then, good.

[OneMoreFarang]

I think he should spend some time with cats, big cats, so that he will be able to understand them better.

I hope the Chinese embassy was also informed about what one of its nationals had done.

The CCP take a dislike to its citizens brining shame upon the country while abroad. 

So he may get a warm welcome when he gets home.

It can be difficult at times not to be racist.......and on occasions you can be worn down and, taken off guard, condemn a whole nation.......best stop there.

so a farang diver touches a sea slug and gets jailed, this sick #### tortures domestic pets and gets off with a small fine

Makes you wonder how many serial killers exist in China at any given time.

Then maybe 50% of the Chinese population are similar.....wonder of Xi likes cat!

[SpaceKadet]

So, 100,000 baht fine for feeding fish, but only 15,000 for torturing cats. He's Chinese so it figures, cannot upset the Big Uncles.

[scoupeo]

I would like to find this skumbag before he is deported.

 

[Yahooka]

I hope they drive him VERY fast to the airport for deportation........................................With the psycho tied to the back fender ???? !!
