The incident occurred in the summer of 2026. A pregnant resident of Minsk was drinking alcohol with her cohabitant's father. A quarrel arose between them: the man expressed dissatisfaction with the woman keeping a dog in his house.

In response, she accused the owner of mistreating the cat: according to her, he did not feed the animal and kept it in improper conditions. During the conflict, the man threatened to throw out the dog. The woman did not take the threat seriously, but, seeing a cat on the balcony sitting on the windowsill near an open window, she threw it down out of revenge. She informed the animal's owner about what had happened.

During the court proceedings, the accused fully admitted her guilt and repented. Taking into account the evidence presented by the state prosecutor, the Leninsky district court of Minsk issued a guilty verdict against her.

Based on Part 1 of Article 339-1 of the Criminal Code, the woman was sentenced to one year of restriction of liberty without referral to an open-type correctional institution.

Since January 1, 2025, the law «On Responsible Treatment of Animals» has been in force in Belarus. According to its Article 15, cruel treatment of animals is prohibited.

    Які жах. Цяжарную жанчыну засудзіць так бессаромна. Патрыархальнае грамадства да дабра нас не давядзе.
