Demand for harsher punishments for animal abusers  - 1

Protests demanding the harshest punishments for torturing and killing animals will be held today in Sofia and Burgas, and tomorrow in Pernik, BNR specifies.

The reason - videos of such abuses, filmed and sold by a 26-year-old woman and a 35-year-old man from Pernik, who have already been arrested.

So far, nearly 50 thousand signatures have been collected in the online petition demanding that they receive life imprisonment.

The protest today in Sofia is scheduled for 11 a.m. in front of the Courthouse.

"If the law lets you go, Pernik will not accept you. Out of our city!”, Mayor Stanislav Vladimirov wrote earlier on Facebook in reference to the two animal abusers.

On Monday at 11 a.m., Pernice residents will organize a protest in front of the city's Courthouse, demanding the harshest sentences for Gabriela and Krasimir.
