Brutally killed kittens, monkey with arrow in head found in Fukuoka, Shiga

Jun 02 (Japan Today) - Japanese police dealt with cases of gruesome animal abuse on Friday as the severed head of one kitten and the stabbed body of another were found at a location in Fukuoka, and a monkey was euthanized in Hikone, Shiga Prefecture, after being captured with an arrow stuck in its head.

In Fukuoka, a passer-by alerted police after finding the dead kittens at a garbage-disposal site in the morning.

One of the kittens had no torso, while the other had stab wounds in its abdomen, the local police said. They are investigating the case on suspicion of violation of the Animal Protection Law.

In Hikone, a monkey with an arrow penetrating its head was found on the premises of a housing material factory in the afternoon.
