Recent cases include the death of animals found with signs of violence, such as a cat with a broken jaw and the community dog ??known as “Marginal”, which died in front of the building of the Dean of Extension and Community Actions (Proeac). In a previous situation, an expert report confirmed the poisoning of the dog “Leão”. To g1, Biological Sciences student and project volunteer, Wevertom Lorran, reported the seriousness of the recent episodes and pointed out that crimes intensify when circulation on campus decreases. "These cases have been happening for a long time, for over a year now. They are cases of mistreatment and also disappearances of pets. Recently, there was the case of the kitten who had shoe glue spread over her fur and now this decapitation. These are recurring cases only during the recess period, when there is no flow of people", said Lorran. Public collaboration The Civil Police requests support from the community to clarify the facts.
