Remember the two animal abusers who forcibly fed a tortoise nasvay? Karma caught up with them. They apologized to Uzbeks for their actions, promising never to do it again. Do we believe them?
Recently, a video spread on social media showing two citizens forcing a Central Asian tortoise to eat nasvay. This outrageous incident caused a storm of indignation among users. Today, it became known that the perpetrators apologized to the people of Uzbekistan, assuring that such an incident would not happen again.
Employees of the Department of Ecology, Environmental Protection, and Climate Change of the Surkhandarya region, together with the regional Department of Internal Affairs and the National Guard, conducted an investigation. It was established that the incident occurred at the beginning of April this year in the “Yangikuch” neighborhood of the Denau district. The culprits were two local residents.
During a conversation with law enforcement officers, one of them confessed that he caught the tortoise in his neighborhood and forced it to eat nasvay to gain more hype and likes on social media.
Both citizens were fined 3 base calculation units (slightly more than 1 million soms).
The Ministry of Ecology once again reminded that cruel treatment of animals is strictly prohibited and entails severe penalties according to the law. It also urged citizens to report any cases of animal cruelty.
After the incident became public and the fines were imposed, the men publicly apologized to the people of Uzbekistan. They admitted their guilt and promised never to harm animals again. Despite their apologies, many social media users remain skeptical and demand stricter measures against the animal abusers.
Cruel treatment of animals is unacceptable and must be severely punished. We hope this case will serve as a lesson for everyone and help prevent similar incidents in the future.
