The Public Ministry of Santa Catarina (MPSC) is currently in anticipation of crucial video footage from the Civil Police that has yet to be provided regarding the investigation into the aggressive incident leading to the death of a dog named Orelha. According to the MPSC, these videos are vital for the continuation of their inquiry. This statement was confirmed to g1 on the afternoon of Tuesday, the 24th. Meanwhile, the Civil Police mentioned that all additional procedures requested have been completed and sent to the MPSC, which included the exhumation of the animal's body to gather further evidence.

The details of which specific videos have been requested remain undisclosed by the MPSC, as the case is under a judicial secrecy due to the involvement of minors, in accordance with the Statute of the Child and Adolescent (ECA). The incident occurred in the Brava Beach area, a tourist destination in the capital. The investigation indicates that Orelha suffered abuse on January 4, was discovered the following day, and despite being taken to a veterinarian, did not survive due to the injuries sustained.

This situation has highlighted the ongoing issues of animal cruelty in Brazil, reflecting societal concerns about the treatment of animals and the legal protections afforded to them. It also emphasizes the importance of the judicial system's role in handling cases involving minors while ensuring that justice is served for the victims, in this case, an innocent animal. The outcome of this investigation could set a precedent for future cases of animal abuse in the region.
