“Cat skin masks, animal fetuses preserved in formaldehyde… We investigated the sordid trafficking of dead animals operated on social networks. And not just any: sometimes they are yours. Your dogs, your cats and sometimes even your kittens and puppies. All dead. They are dissected, dismembered, skinned, and their bones, their skin, their faces are put up for sale in a private group, on Facebook, in the form of “trophies””, we can read on the website of vakita.
The media explain that they were able to carry out this investigation thanks to the help of the Extrême Sauvetage association, which had infiltrated the MC Osteo Facebook group for several months.
” We have documented these secret sales and traced the trail to the person behind this Facebook page. We were able to interview the manager of this network and she revealed to us that these sales were made without the consent of the owners of the slaughtered animals. “, we can read.

On the set of BFMTV, Hugo Clément is reminded that taxidermy is legal in France. To which he replies that what is not in this investigation is the absence of authorization from the owner of the animal. “We have collected the testimony of an owner of a dead dog. He was contacted by the gendarmerie who found the body of his dog with no head and no legs. He thought he was cremated.he says.

She also admits that the police came to her house to kidnap her “subjects”, “at least two hundred”, explains, including dogs, cats, piglets and even a baby kangaroo.

“We are dealing with people who have a very disturbing and illegal passion, explains Hugo Clément. It is a form of fascination with ‘animal anatomy, death’”. However, try to reassure pet owners that they may need to be euthanized by a vet: these scenarios are ” very minority “.
