Taipei, Sept. 2 (CNA) Taipei prosecutors on Friday pressed more charges against Chan Ho-yeung, a recently expelled National Taiwan University student, after it was found that the cat he allegedly killed last year was not the only one.
Chan, who is from Macau, has confessed to killing a cat earlier this month as well, in violation of Taiwan’s Animal Protection Act, prosecutors said.

In view of the two acts of suspected cat-killing, prosecutors said, they will seek a heavier sentence against Chan.

However, they said, they have dropped the theft charges that were brought against Chan by police.

Prosecutors said they have determined that Chan did not steal a cat called Ban Ban with the intention of keeping it as pet, but rather because he wanted to kill it.     [FULL  STORY]
