People gathered in front of the Sofia City Court on Tuesday to protest against animal abuse and for tough sentences against two suspects charged with torturing animals, filming the abuse, and selling the videos online.

The protesters demanded the maximum possible punishments under the law and noted that institutions had reacted adequately by changing the respective legislation in 2025. They pointed out that now is the time to implement the legislation in practice.

The court hearing was held behind closed doors.
