"This is a brutal crime that shocks society, said Felipe Santoro, the police commissioner in charge of the investigation. It is an act of extreme cruelty toward a creature that posed absolutely no threat yet was deliberately attacked nonetheless."
"Jeferson Pires, the veterinarian and head of CRAS, stated, We have been treating Rio's wildlife here for 22 years, and I have never before received a capybara subjected to such extreme aggression."
Police in Rio de Janeiro arrested eight individuals, including two minors, for violently attacking a capybara. The incident, captured on CCTV, involved the use of sticks and iron bars. The capybara, a 65kg male, was taken to a wildlife care center where it was treated for severe injuries, including head trauma and internal bleeding. The police commissioner condemned the act as extreme cruelty against a harmless creature. The capybara has gained popularity online, particularly through memes, reflecting its cultural significance in Brazil.
