He further expressed that his cats are very dear to him.
(Web Desk) - Russian influencer Hasbulla Magomedov told netizens to stop all the hate and criticism as he was not beating the cat, but gently reprimanding her.
The 20-year-old influencer is generally well-liked but a recent video of him hitting his cat has got people infuriated. In response to the backlash by netizens the influencer released a statement claiming that he was gently reprimanding her and that people are making a big deal out of it.
In a video statement, Hasbulla said “Those brothers [who] think that I was beating the cat, pulled the ear, this and that, I pulled the ear gently and I know people are waiting for the moment [for me to] write something wrong to attack me like this, like, ‘you do this, you do that’. She [Barksik] was misbehaving and I just pulled the ear, that’s it.”
He further expressed that cats are actually his favourite animal and his cats are very dear to him. He was just trying to stop the cat from misbehaving and meant no harm.
“I love my cat more than you, if I didn’t love the cat, I wouldn’t have it at home. My [favourite] animal is cat[s] and when she disobeyed, I scolded her a little. You are attacking me for nothing,” he said.
A couple of days ago, Hasbulla shared a video in which he could be seen pulling his cat’s ear, lightly smacking her before she runs off and jumps inside a box. Then he hits her on the head more aggressively, all the while scolding her in Russian. The video was quickly deleted from his profile after people called him out for mistreating the animal.
