Cat-ch me if you can: Prison guards nab drug mule kitty in Costa Rica
SAN JOSÉ (Costa Rica), May 21 — Guards in Costa Rica have intercepted an unusual prison drug delivery, catching a cat as it jumped over the periphery fence at night with marijuana and crack taped to its body.
The black-and-white feline, carrying over 230 grams of marijuana and 67 grams of crack cocaine in two packages, was captured this month at a prison in the canton of Pococi, the justice ministry said in a statement yesterday.
It shared a video of a guard climbing a perimeter fence to catch the cat burglar.
Later, the feline is seen on a prison table while guards cut the packages from its tiny body.
'Thanks to the quick actions (of the guards) the feline was caught and the packages were removed, thus preventing them from reaching' the inmates, said the ministry.
The cat was taken to an animal welfare society. — AFP

Around 100 dead cats found at Japan woman's home
One cat was found 'unrecognisable' in the house that 'was overflowing with faeces and urine'. (AFP pic) TOKYO : Around 100 dead cats were discovered at the squalid home of a woman in southwest Japan who belonged to an animal welfare group, a local official said today. The group, Animal Assist Senju, apologised on social media, posting pictures of the trash-strewn house it said 'was overflowing with faeces and urine'. The residence belonged to one of its staffers, who the group said was found to have gone rogue and taken in many cats without consulting the organisation. One cat was found 'unrecognisable' with 'its skin partly peeled off and paws covered in faeces and urine', the group said in an Instagram post at the weekend. Kumamoto City's animal protection centre told AFP on today that the dead felines were initially estimated to total 'around 100'. Media reports however said the number is now thought to be higher. Animal Assist Senju, based in the region of Kumamoto, says it rescues cats and dogs from animal shelters and transfers them to new homes. 'All the members of our group take what happened very seriously,' it said in another Instagram post. 'We can only imagine what agonising pain the cats went through before dying.' The woman is no longer allowed to take in cats, it said. City officials and animal rights volunteers inspected the house twice after they were notified last week of a feline death, before launching a full search and rescue mission. It is not clear if legal action has been taken against the woman. Twelve live cats have been saved from the home so far, according to city animal protection official Tsutomu Takimoto.

After 42 years, El Salvador convicts ex-military over Dutch journalists' deaths in civil war ambush
CHALATENANGO (El Salvador), June 4 — A former defence minister in El Salvador and two retired colonels were found guilty Tuesday of the 1982 killings of four Dutch journalists during the country's civil war, a lawyer for families of the deceased said. A five-member jury sentenced the defendants, now in their 80s or 90s, to 15 years in prison after an 11-hour session on the first day of the trial, attorney Pedro Cruz said outside the courthouse. In a crime that shocked the world, Koos Koster, Jan Kuiper, Hans ter Laag and Joop Willemsen were killed while filming a television documentary. More than 75,000 people were killed in El Salvador's 1980-1992 civil war pitting the US-backed military against leftist guerrillas. The Dutch reporters worked for IKON TV, a Dutch channel founded by several churches. The accused are General Jose Guillermo Garcia, 91, former police colonel Francisco Antonio Moran, 93, and ex-infantry brigade commander Mario Reyes Mena, 85. None of them were in court for the trial, which was conducted with press and held in the northern city of Chalatenango. 'The fight against impunity took a long time, but it was won,' the Dutch ambassador for all of Central America, Arjen van den Berg, said outside the courthouse. In 1993, a UN-sponsored Truth Commission found the journalists had walked into an ambush planned by Reyes, who lives in the United States, and with the knowledge of other officers. The Salvadoran Supreme Court approved an extradition request for Reyes in March, but there has been no progress so far. Garcia and Moran are under police surveillance in a private hospital in San Salvador. The defendants had faced up to 30 years in prison but got less time because of their age and ill health, the lawyer Cruz said. The NGOs Fundacion Comunicandonos and the Salvadoran Association for Human Rights hailed the trial as a 'decisive step' in the search for truth and justice. 'We trust that this trial sets a historic precedent in the fight against impunity,' they said in a joint statement. The case remained unresolved for decades after the presiding judge received threats in 1988, prompting her to seek refuge in Canada. It was reopened in 2018 after the Supreme Court declared an amnesty law for civil war crimes unconstitutional, but relatives of the victims still had to wait years for the main hearing. Evidence such as a statement from a former US military attache and a military expert's report 'directly points' to the defendants' responsibility, said lawyer Pedro Cruz, who represents the victims' families. Garcia led the Armed Forces from 1979 to 1983, when the worst massacres perpetrated by the military took place. — AFP

‘What kind of person will do this?': Singapore's Yishun again under spotlight after new cat death
SINGAPORE, June 3 — Authorities are investigating after a cat was found dead with its legs unnaturally splayed at the foot of a staircase in Yishun, the National Parks Board (NParks) said today. The incident, which took place at Block 510A along Yishun Street 51, came to public attention on Sunday following a Facebook post that included photos of the animal's body, according to a report published in Channel News Asia. 'NParks received feedback on a cat found dead at the foot of a staircase at Yishun Street 51 and is looking into the matter,' the agency said in response to media queries. 'We urge the public not to speculate on the details of the case and allow investigations to run its proper course.' The Facebook post by the group Sayang Our Singapore's Community Cats claimed that a 24-hour hotline was contacted but no help was rendered, with a screenshot indicating the number belonged to a private veterinary clinic. The group also noted the discovery was made near a location where another cat had previously been found dead with serious injuries. Yishun has seen a series of similar incidents, with cats found either dead or injured under suspicious circumstances, raising concerns among animal welfare advocates and the public. Last month, Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam highlighted a particularly gruesome case in Yishun Street 51, where a cat was reportedly tortured, mutilated and left on the road. 'What kind of person will do this? This is not who we are as a people,' he wrote on Facebook. Sayang Our Singapore's Community Cats described the cat in that incident as having been 'brutally tortured and left on the road in a failed attempt to disguise this crime as an accident'. In a separate case in Punggol, another cat was found injured near the loading bay at Block 326B, Sumang Walk. NParks later said its injuries were likely from a traffic accident rather than intentional cruelty. According to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA), reports of animal cruelty and welfare cases in Singapore hit a 12-year high last year, with 961 cases recorded in 2024.
