Kitten abuser apologises, blames depression
By Qishin Tariq
The woman caught on CCTV abusing several kittens has apologised for her actions, claiming she was suffering from depression when she committed the act.
"I could not control my emotions at that moment, but now realise I made a terrible mistake, after watching the video myself," said Chow Xiao Wei.
The 20-year-old added that she was prepared to face the consequences, saying she was willing to do community service at the Society for Prevention of Cruelty Against Animals (SPCA).
The five-minute video clip surfaced on social networks about a week ago and was quickly spread by horrified viewers. In the CCTV footage, a person wearing a cap was recorded hitting kittens with an umbrella, then stomping and kicking them.
After the video went viral, Chow's acquaintances, who recognised her from the video, posted personal information like her name and phone number online.
Chow soon began receiving threatening messages through SMS and on her Facebook account. Due to the threats, she quit her job as a sales assistant and also lodged a police report.
