It has been almost 3 weeks since the kitten ‘rape’ story went viral. And while a lot of the people were ready to bring justice to the kitten without any evidence, some also pointed out that the story, posted by JFK Animal Rescue, did not match up.
After calling out everyone who tried to question the authenticity of JFK’s story, they are finally ready to apologize for spreading fake news.
Pretty convenient, given that they have deleted all of their major posts about that story- including the original story that was posted on JFK’s Facebook page.
FIA Intervenes
Before FIA’s Cybercrime intervened and declared that the kitten story was fake, JFK was adamant with their stance that it was a case of sexual abuse against the voiceless. In fact, they initially described the story as if they were an eye witness to the whole thing.
She narrated the whole story in the first post like she was there, and claimed in so many clear words that the kitten in the pictures was raped and her genitals were torn open.

After another NGO Todd’s Welfare Society spoke up on the matter and interviewed the vet, Dr. Khalil, who first examined the kitten, things did not exactly pan out well. Allegations against JFK were deemed as harassment by their supporters, who still did not have any incriminating evidence or expert testimony to back up their version.
Later, everything was confirmed by the FIA and Asif Iqbal Chaudhry, Assistant Director Cybercrime, said this:
No rape with Cat, confirmed by the Doctor. I am disgusted that how people put false blames
ایسے لوگ نہ صرف معاشرے میں بدامنی کا سبب ہیں بلکہ ملک کی دنیا میں بدنامی کا باعث ہیں۔میری عوام سے اپیل ہے کہ سوشل میڈیا پرایسی خبریں بلا تصدیق شئیر نہ کریں اس سے ملک کی بدنامی ہوتی ہے۔— Asif Iqbal Chaudhry (@Aasifiqbalpak) August 10, 2020
FIA also reached out to Dr. Khalil and he reiterated the point that the kitten had a bad case of severe infection.
ڈاکٹرخلیل محمدجنہوں نےاس بلی کےبچےکامیڈیکل چیک اپ اور ٹریٹمنٹ کیاانکی زبانی حقیقت جانیے۔
مجھےدکھ صرف اس بات کاہےکہ اس جھوٹےپراپیگنڈاکی وجہ سےمیرےملک پاکستان کی بدنامی ہوئی اوربہت سے حساس لوگ زہنی کوفت کاشکاررہے۔

After Asif Iqbal’s Tweets, JFK once again took to their social media. In a post that was later deleted, JFK not only called out FIA for having a verdict within a day but they also claimed to have never met Asif Iqbal for this case.
JFK ANIMAL RESCUE AND SHELTER جس تنظیم کے نام اور پیج سے یہ خبر وائرل ہوئی تھی انکا آجکا موقف سامنے آگیا کہ ان کی طرف سے یہ کہا ہی نہیں گیا کہ بلی کے ساتھ بدفعلی ہوئی۔
نہ کوئی ثبوت، نہ گواہ، نہ ڈاکٹر کی تصدیق، نہ کوئی ماننے کو تیار۔
یہ ہوتا ہے جھوٹ اور سچ میں فرق

U-turn
For reasons unknown, JFK posted a half-hearted apology that was only visible on their Instagram account. Curiously, it is nowhere to be seen on their Facebook page.
In the ‘apology’ post, JFK mentioned that they were merely ‘reporting’ the case that they had received from two individuals named Haider Ali and Uzma Khan. Furthermore, they added that the intention behind their deleted post was to raise awareness and inform the authorities.

It still boggles the mind why there was a concerted campaign against TWS by supporters of JFK if they were merely ‘reporting’ the story.
Team @tws_pk was harassed. They published a whole post against @AsifIqbalccw. N now I'm glad that FIA was able to convince them; they can see beyond their arrogance.
One who admits a mistake is a brave person, but this was not that. The damage's done. @misterzedpk @ZarrarKhuhro https://t.co/Ke9qYZQlw3

We understand that even the strongest of people would feel resentment coming across something as devastating as a kitten’s rape. But if JFK really wanted to take any action against the alleged culprit, they would have taken the case to the authorities, instead of airing the fake story on social media, which ended up being picked by local and international news outlets.
Do you think their apology is sincere? Let us know in the comments section.
