Alinity under investigation by animal protection services for throwing her cat Alinity\/InstagramTwitch streamer Alinity Divine is under investigation by the Saskatoon Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) after a couple of controversial clips involving her cats went viral. The most recent is from a July 18 APEX Legends stream when the gamer was irritated by her cat crawling on her desk. Alinity appeared to call the cat by its name, Milo, and pick it up before tossing it over her shoulder. Another clip, this one from over a year ago, shows the streamer appearing to feed the same cat vodka via a kiss. Now, the Saskatoon SPCA says it is investigating the streamer\u2019s actions and a formal complaint has been filed. A formal cruelty complaint regarding this matter has been filed with our Animal Protection department and is currently under investigation.

Thank you! #yxe \u2014 Saskatoon SPCA (@SaskatoonSPCA) July 19, 2019 \u201cA formal cruelty complaint regarding this matter has been filed with our Animal Protection department and is currently under investigation,\u201d the SPCA replied after being tagged in a Twitter thread created by journalist Ian Miles Cheong. In the same thread, comedian and actor Ricky Gervais chimed in with \u201cSo many stupid people in the world.\u201d Alinity\u2019s actions also drew the ire of PETA who tweeted to Twitch Support asking them to, \u201cTake a stand for cats & please remove Alinity from @Twitch immediately. She is using the platform to post animal abuse, which sends a dangerous message to anyone watching her videos. Cats are not props to abuse for more views.\u201d Meanwhile, the streamer addressed the videos as well as the investigation on Twitter. ATTENTION: @TwitchSupport, Take a stand for cats & please remove Alinity from @Twitch immediately. She is using the platform to post animal abuse, which sends a dangerous message to anyone watching her videos. Cats are not props to abuse for more views :cat_face:pic.twitter.com\/EsIsB5o6Tf \u2014 PETA \u2013 #EndSpeciesism (@peta) July 19, 2019 \u201cHey everyone, I understand the concern and I am sorry for my lapses in judgement. I shouldnt have gotten frustrated with Milo, but I dropped him on the floor behind my chair. I\u2019m not that strong \ud83d\ude1b The Vodka thing was well over a year ago but it was also a stupid thing to do,\u201d Divine wrote. \u201cI also understand the desire to report me to pet authorities and encourage anyone to do so if they feel pets are being mistreated, by anyone, anywhere. My animals are well loved, and live in a warm and caring home, and I will comply with any authority that seeks to validate this.\u201d Despite being reported, she believes those who did had the best of intentions and isn\u2019t angry with them. \u201cI think a lot of people are doing this because they believe they are doing the right thing, so no salt. I dont pretend to be perfect, and I will always try to do better, and improve myself.\u201d Let us know on Twitter @Dexerto what you think about this situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
