Police are appealing for information about a video posted on social media “showing a man apparently licking and kissing a dead cat”.

A spokesman for Bermuda Police Service said: “Whilst there is no apparent evidence at this stage that would suggest criminality, we would like for anyone who may have any information that might help to identify those involved and the location and circumstances of the events. Please contact police at 234-1010.”

He said officers were liaising with the Department of Environmental Protection’s animal wardens on the matter, adding: “We urge members of the public that if you receive the image please destroy it and do not pass it on.”
