Animal Party: Serious Accusations of Inaction by Authorities in Cat Theft Case

The Animal Party denounces inadequate management by the authorities in a case of potential organized cat theft, despite the submission of specific evidence since January 25, 2026. The party calls for immediate investigative actions and checks at ports and airports, warning that the issue is exposing the country internationally. It points out that the evidence suggests possible organized activity for exploitation or export of the animals. It challenges the view that a case cannot be substantiated due to the lack of microchips, emphasizing human responsibility for cared-for animals. The party states its readiness to contribute to solving the case and emphasizes that inaction is not an option, as the issue has taken on dimensions that are exposing the country.
