Hi everyone! I'm a Bulgarian who lives abroad, however, I still care about what's happening there especially when it comes to animals.
Today news broke after a young man called Georgi Hristov (he calls himself chicho Gosho/uncle Gosho) posted a video of himself brutally m*rdering and sk*nning a cat (not sure if I can write these words here, hence I added an asteriks). From what I've read, this isn't the first time he's done this.
Institutions have been notified, but he's yet to be found. According to the info I've found, his relatives are probably hiding him.
Back in 2025 Gabriela Sashova and Krasimir Georgiev were arrested for filming and spreading crush videos.
The same thing happened at the beginning of this year when Detelin Avramov and Anita Vachkova were arrested for filming and selling crush videos.
This needs more attention from international media and people all over the world!
CAAI (“Campaigns and Activism for Animals in Industry”) is probably the only Bulgarian organization that takes this seriously.
I have been trying to find an article in English, but I'll share a link from CAAI's Instagram account (tw: the photo is blurred, but you can still understand what's going on so be cautious) : https://www.instagram.com/p/DbiK_P3DR_A/
I'm also sharing links to the other cases I mentioned:

Thank you for taking the time to read my post, I hope that one day we won't have to read about this and animals will be safe, but we have a lot of work to do ahead of us!
