More than 100 dead cats found in volunteer's house in Japan
More than 100 cats have been found dead in and around a house in the southwestern Japanese city of Kumamoto. A woman who lives in the house was working for a volunteer group to protect cats. The city's animal protection center says it received a report from a couple saying one of the cats they had asked the woman to care for was dead. Officials and a member of the animal welfare volunteer group entered the woman's house on Monday, accompanied by police. The group said many dead cats were found, with garbage scattered inside the house. Officials say the woman has accepted cats from people who are forced to give up caring for their pets. The woman explained to the volunteer group that she herself had no idea why such a thing had happened. A representative of the group apologized for it having been unaware of the situation and said it takes the tragedy very seriously.
