Yesterday afternoon, the reporter went to the scene and found some blood on the ground. The person in charge of the Publicity Department of Peking University Health Science Center told the reporter that the boy had written a written apology to the school and apologized to the kitten and the people who love animals. Kitten was thrown to death Yesterday afternoon, reporters went to the scene of the incident. A Peking University girl who was in the study room at the time of the incident said that at about 10 a.m. on December 3, a white kitten sneaked into the library's study room. "At that time, the cat climbed onto a table in the last row, and suddenly a boy wearing gloves jumped over from the table next to it and grabbed the kitten. The boy grabbed the cat's neck with one hand and the cat's tail with the other hand, and walked straight out of the study room," the girl said. "The kitten was screaming, and I thought he was just sending the cat out, but I didn't expect..." There is a store next to the study room. The salesperson, Sister Wang, said that she was watching the store when she suddenly saw a girl running in from the study room, crying and saying "cat... cat..." When Sister Wang ran to the door, she found that the cat had been thrown to death and was covered in blood, with its brains spilled out. After hearing that the cat was thrown to death, dozens of students ran out of the study room to see. "Several girls were scared and cried. It was so cruel," said a girl who was at the scene. Yesterday afternoon, the reporter saw at the scene that there was still some blood on the ground where the kitten fell to death. Next to the blood was a cat kennel where more than a dozen stray cats lived. Many students said that they got along well with the cats and often bought cat food for the store clerks to feed them. Ms. Wang, a shop clerk, said that the kitten that was thrown to death was less than three months old. Everyone called it Xiaobai. "It was very cute. I didn't expect it to be slaughtered so brutally." After the kitten was killed, Wang and a girl buried it under a small tree in front of the library. The girl said that during this time, the boy returned to the study room to continue studying. Netizens condemn cat-killing boy After the incident of killing kittens, an eyewitness posted the incident online with the title "Peking University students slaughtering cats". It was then reposted on forums such as Tianya and Mop. In the post, the author described the incident in detail and revealed the boy's true identity - a fifth-year student at Peking University's School of Medicine, currently doing an internship at a hospital. The author also expressed his dissatisfaction with the boy: "What is the point of studying for such a college student? Can we really trust such a person to use his medical knowledge to save lives and heal the wounded?" Many netizens left comments under the post, condemning the act of killing the kitten and questioning whether the boy was qualified to be a doctor. The school said the boy had repented. Yesterday afternoon, the reporter went to Peking University's School of Medicine and found the dormitory of Song, the student who killed the cat. Song was not in the dormitory. His two roommates said: "After this incident, many people came to the dormitory to ask about it. We also saw the post and related reports online. Xiao Song is now living and studying normally." When the reporter asked if Song had anything unhappy at the time, a boy said that everything was normal for him. The reporter hoped that they could help find Song, but was rejected. The reporter then found another classmate of Song. The classmate said that Song was a class leader, a good student, and a very enthusiastic person. "When classmates ask him for help, he is always willing to help others. I hope we won't put too much pressure on him." A relevant person in charge of the Publicity Department of Peking University Health Science Center told reporters last night: "He (Song) is very regretful about this matter and has written a written apology to the school, to the kitten that was killed and to the general public who care about animals." The person in charge said that according to the school's investigation, the cause of the incident was that the student often studied in the library. One day in early December before the incident, a stray cat sneaked in and moved around while he was studying, disturbing his studies. The next day, the cat came again and jumped from the ground onto him and onto the desk. He acted impulsively, which led to the tragedy. Peking University also said yesterday that they will take this incident as a warning and launch charity education activities throughout the school.
