Monblancapproximately 380 inhabitants east of Samatan, in the Gersvery close to the border with Haute-Garonne. A small village quiet Savès. Where a tragedy took place recently, denounces an association. A massacre of cats.

It was about a fortnight ago. The association the cat gang is called. A lady wants sterilize catsaround ten. She also has many kittens, around ten as well. The association makes an appointment to lend him equipment. “Enough to catch the cats and transport them,” explains Liliane Broussard, its president, to Occitanie News. As for the kittens, the Cat Gang warns, their host families (the association does not have shelters) are full and they could be put in the SPA…

“I understand that you are angry…”

The Monblanc resident therefore collects the traps. And nothing more happens. “There are four of us in the association. And we are very close. Recently we have been affected by several deaths. So we didn’t get any news right away,” explains Liliane Broussard.

After a fortnight, the association received a message: “We killed all the cats… I understand that you are angry…”. The Cat Gang denounces a “massacre”.

“We didn't understand. It's beyond anger. It's a total incomprehension. We are completely shocked. We are very sad. This is not forgivable.”

No explanation

Especially since the association had already dealt with the owner of the cats. “We have already worked with complete confidence with her,” underlines Liliane Broussard.

“It’s a very small village. There would have been solutions with the mayorwhich is very active. With the veterinarians…” she says indignantly. The association returned to take the material and had no further explanation.

“We don't know how they were killed. I hope they didn't suffer.”

A complaint filed

“The gendarmerie will take over, we will file a complaint, probably this Thursday, October 31,” warns the association, which should request the support of 30 million friends for this approach.

Beyond this fortunately rare case, the Gang des catous, which is associated with 25 host families in greater Auch and Savès, is warning of a situation which is becoming explosive with cats. “There are too few associations and SPAs cannot do everything”estimates Liliane Broussard, who can receive more 60 calls in a single day. Births never stop. “Before, it was twice a year. Now there are three or four litters every year,” she warns.
