For the sake of not sounding like a broken record, let me give you a very quick summary of the current Wuhan virus situation:
At the time of writing, more than 17,000 people have been infected with the Wuhan virus, otherwise known as the novel coronavirus.
There have been over 350 deaths and this number has been increasing rapidly.

But humans aren’t the only victims of this virus, even pets are too but not for the reason you’d expect.
Management in China Buried a Cat Alive After Owner Was Quarantined in Hospital
In a similar case from just a few days ago, some false information regarding pets being able to carry the disease led to widespread panic in China.
Some pet owners even resorted to drastic measures such as throwing their pets off buildings in order to kill them.
Unfortunately, this particular news is in the same vein.
A cat owner from Wuxi city in the Jiangsu province realised that his pet cat had been buried alive while he was undergoing quarantine at the hospital.
According to World Of Buzz, due to work reasons, the pet owner was required to be quarantined. However, he was not diagnosed with the novel coronavirus.
Just look at the adorable cat.
Management Wanted To ‘Disinfect’ The Apartment
While he was away, he gave the management of his housing estate instructions to place his cat at his balcony while waiting for a friend to pick it up.

However, things went awry when the management staff forced their way into his apartment and proceeded to carry out their own plan instead of acceding to his request.
They gave the excuse that they were at the apartment to “disinfect” it.
Apparently, part of the process was to put the living, breathing cat into a plastic bag and bury it alive.
The cat was stuffed into a plastic bag and buried at a wasteland.
The worse part was that the management was not even sorry about their behaviour.

When the owner confronted them, they gave an emotionless response and had the nerve to tell the owner to be more understanding given the Wuhan virus outbreak.
The management then went on to explain that the act was a “public health emergency response” and that the neighbours had demanded for something to be done.
Hence, according to Baidu, they followed China’s Infectious Disease Control Act to “control or kill infected wild animals, livestock and poultry” should there be a disease outbreak.
The whole situation is just tragic. Let’s hope that we humans don’t lose any more of our humanity in the face of a global virus outbreak.
These five GRCs could see the tightest battle in GE2025; here’s why:
