Crime: woman abandons 2 cats and ends up identified by microchip

Security cameras captured a woman leaving animals at the door of the Zoonosis Control Center in Santa Cruz, Rio de Janeiro

A woman was caught on security cameras abandoning two adult cats at the door of the Paulo Dacorso Filho Zoonosis Control Center in Santa Cruz, Rio de Janeiro.

What she perhaps didn’t realize, however, is that one of the two abandoned animals was microchipped and, consequently, was registered with the SISbicho, where it was possible to identify the name of the person to whom the animal had been registered.

For this reason, the Institute of Health Surveillance (IVISA – Rio) is preparing a letter to report the case to the Police, since in Brazil the abandonment of animals is a crime.

This was reported by Ancelmo Gois, journalist for the newspaper “O Globo”.
