What is known
CowCat was taken from their guardian in Anhui and endured prolonged torture before being killed. As the truth of the case spread, CowCat came to represent something larger for supporters around the world: the refusal to stay silent, the duty to remember victims by name, and the insistence that cruelty must never be normalized or treated as spectacle.
