Following a report from a local resident, the mayor of Mickūnai, Daniel Žamoit, responded immediately to the scene of an animal entrapment. After documenting the incident and sharing the video online, the mayor recognized the need for specialized assistance. Consequently, he contacted the “Zoo Patrol” affiliated with the Vilnius District Municipality.
Specialist personnel from the municipality, accompanied by a veterinarian, arrived at the location. The team successfully freed the trapped cat, administered initial first aid, and transported the animal to a veterinary clinic for comprehensive treatment. In a subsequent public statement, the Mickūnai mayor confirmed that the Vilnius District Municipality Public Order Department has initiated an investigation into the incident.
The department issued a reminder to the public regarding the legal repercussions associated with animal welfare. Authorities noted that Lithuanian legislation stipulates administrative or criminal responsibility for acts of cruel treatment toward animals, depending on the specific circumstances of the case. The swift intervention by the municipal specialists ensured the safety and proper care of the cat.
