Chinese students in UK allegedly abuse animal

A college in the UK said Tuesday they are looking into allegations that one of their Chinese students was involved in acts of animal cruelty， and have referred the matter to the police。

英國一所大學週二表示，學校目前正在調查本校一名中國留學生涉嫌虐待動物的指控，並已經將此事交由警方處理。

The University of the Arts London （UAL） told the Global Times that they are taking the matter seriously and are doing everything to cooperate with the police。

倫敦藝術大學告訴《環球時報》記者，他們正嚴肅處理此事，並在盡全力配合警方。

The reply came after posts of two Chinese international students in London allegedly being taken by London police for animal cruelty went viral on Chinese social media over the weekend。

消息稱倫敦兩名中國留學生因虐待動物被倫敦警方帶走。該消息於週末在中國社交媒體上引起熱議，隨後大學對《環球時報》做出了回覆。

According to posts spread on Sina Weibo， two students， a man from UAL surnamed Cai， and a woman surnamed Zhang from King‘s College London， killed the cat of Cai’s friend and buried it secretly in a park in December 2018。

根據在新浪微博上發佈的帖子，一名來自倫敦藝術大學姓蔡的男生和一名來自倫敦國王學院姓張的女生，於2018年12月虐死了蔡某朋友的貓並將其祕密埋葬在一個公園內。

Cai told his friend the cat was dead a month later。 The friend then reported the matter to the police。

貓死去一個月之後，蔡某才告訴他朋友即貓主人，隨後貓主人報了警。

The Global Times reporter found screenshots and videos alleged to be evidence of the cruelty， the authenticity of which could not be confirmed， on Weibo， which outraged many netizens。 In a video， a cat is hung in the air with tapes around its neck。

《環球時報》記者發現微博上被稱爲證據的相關截圖和視頻，其真實性無法得到證實，這些虐貓的資料激怒了許多網民。在一段視頻中，一隻貓被掛在空中，脖子上粘着膠帶。

A statement from the Chinese Students and Scholars Association at King‘s College London on their WeChat account on Sunday said one of their students was allegedly a suspect in the case and was waiting for the results of a police investigation。

國王學聯週日在微信賬號上發表聲明：據說他們的一名學生是該案件的嫌疑人，目前正在等待警方的調查結果。

“If it （animal cruelty） is true， they （the two suspects） probably need to go to jail，” a London police officer told the Global Times on Tuesday。

“如果（虐待動物）是真的，他們（兩名嫌疑人）可能要入獄，”一名倫敦警察在週二告訴《環球時報》記者。

The maximum sentence for animal cruelty is six months， but is tenfold for serious offenses to clarify that there is no place for animal cruelty in England， according the UK government website。

根據英國政府官網：虐待動物的最高刑期爲六個月，但犯罪嚴重的刑期會是其十倍，並明確聲明英格蘭不會容忍虐待動物的行爲。
