A viral video showing two students at a Jordanian university harming a cat on campus has sparked widespread outrage and ongoing discussions online.

The incident, captured by another student, revealed the students sitting next to a skinned cat. The footage quickly circulated on social media, drawing condemnation from viewers and calls for accountability.

Animal rights activists have pointed out that the act violates Joranian law which prohibits harming or torturing animals. Penalties under this law include fines ranging from JD 200 to JD 1,000, with provisions for harsher penalties in severe cases.

The video has reignited calls for stricter enforcement of animal welfare laws in Jordan and for disciplinary action against the individuals involved.
