The Russian Orthodox Church called the demand to punish the conductor who threw Twix the cat out of the train a clear overkill

Deputy Chairman of the Synodal Department for Relations with Society and Media Vakhtang Kipshidze called the demand to punish the Russian Railways conductor who threw Twix the cat out of the train in Kirov “obvious overkill.”

On Saturday, the cat’s owner reported the death of the animal and promised to do everything to ensure that those responsible were punished. Volunteers found Twix dead not far from the place where he was released from the carriage. A petition created on January 19 demanding the dismissal of the conductor has already been signed by over 288 thousand people.

Kipshidze wrote in a telegram channel that no matter how sorry the animal is, demanding “almost repression of the conductor is clearly too much.” “An animal cannot be equal to a person,” he pointed out. Before thinking about cats, you need to think about people, says a representative of the Moscow Patriarchate.
