Recently, the results of the postgraduate entrance examination were announced, and a piece of news related to it appeared on the hot search: the first student in the professional examination of Nanjing University was not admitted.
Previously, in the announcement of graduate students of Nanjing University, Xu Mouxiang, who applied for the School of Physics, scored a total of 506 points, ranking first in particle physics and nucleus. However, on the final admission bulletin board, he still failed and was rejected by NTU. The reason is suspicious: the ideological and moral assessment is not passed.

Many netizens reflected: Xu Mouxiang is suspected of having serious moral problems and is a core member of the once notorious cat abuse group......
Last year, the "Jack Spicy Strip" cat abuse incident caused public outrage: a netizen whose real name is Xu Mouhui and whose online name is Jack Spicy Strip abused the cat in a tortured manner, and uploaded the video to the Internet, causing a bad impact, and was finally detained by the public security.
And the protagonist this time, Xu Mouxiang, according to relevant reports, is also connected to Jack Spicy's "cat abuse team", or even a core member.
He studied civil engineering at Southeast University as an undergraduate, and since his freshman year, he has reportedly tortured and killed small animals, including cats, rabbits, hamsters, etc., in his dormitory, and filmed videos.

On the Internet, under the name of "Flesh and Blood Artist K", he has posted a lot of cat abuse videos in the encrypted communication software on the Internet, and the methods are extremely cruel, using strong acid, boiling water, electric shocks, and even skin picking......
All the small animals that fell into his hands ended up miserable. In addition to this, he has repeatedly made statements that he wants to kill people.

The Nanjing Municipal Public Security Bureau has launched an investigation into this matter and confirmed that the matter is true: "The public security organs have quickly launched an investigation and have interviewed Xu Mouxiang and his family, Xu Mouxiang has realized his mistake and written a letter of repentance, promising that similar situations will not happen again." ”
However...... Is this letter of repentance seriously repentant, or does it have to be written just because of the East Window incident?
After being exposed by the media and being rejected by NTU in the past few days, Xu Mouxiang applied for transfer to Lanzhou University.
Subsequently, the Research and Recruitment Office of Lanzhou University also received various inquiries about the candidate, saying that they would make a comprehensive consideration, not just "merit-only theory".

The afternoon before yesterday, a reporter saw Xu Mouxiang, who came to wait for the announcement of the written test results, and he said to the reporter:
"If I talk to you a lot now, I may set off an uproar on the Internet again, and I am not very good at responding to some things now, I don't know much about online public opinion, and I don't know if the result is good or bad after saying it. ”

However, a young person who is keen to share animal cruelty online and join an abusive organization will not understand the Internet?
(Netizen Comments)
There's been a lot of discussion about whether we should give him a chance to open up and give him a chance. Some netizens think that he shouldn't be so harsh, but some netizens think that even if he can't go to graduate school, he can always have another way out, and he can't be called exterminated.
Some netizens mentioned a key question: Will people who abuse animals pose a greater threat to society in the future?
(Netizen Comments)
If animal cruelty like Xu Mouxiang's behavior occurs in some foreign countries and regions, it is likely that it will not only have the consequences of writing a book of repentance and not being able to read a book.
In April 2023, a student at the University of Louisville in Kentucky, USA, live-streamed cooking a chicken in an air fryer on social media: instead of putting it in the fryer after processing, he directly put the live chick in the air fryer and baked it to death.
The police, who learned of the situation, filed a second-degree animal cruelty charge, and he was expelled from the school and sentenced.
More similar to Xu Mouxiang's behavior is another graduate student in the northern region of Texas named Kawler.
In August last year, he was sentenced to six and a half years in prison for abusing two pet cats. One of the two cats had to be euthanized due to serious injuries, and the other had his leg amputated.
This happened in August 2021. At that time, Kawler met a woman on a dating app, and the two quickly became boyfriend and girlfriend. She would invite Kauler to her home and occasionally entrust Kauler to take care of her cats when she was out of the house.
However, by September, the cat was seriously injured. Kauler told his girlfriend that the cat fell from a broken window and broke her front leg so much that it had to be amputated.
But the girlfriend felt a little puzzled, because she had already repaired the windows and put plastic protection on them, and there was no reason for the cat to fall.
And she found that this docile cat was extremely hostile to Cowler from that time, and hissed threateningly every time they met, which was strange to look at.
In order not to wronged her boyfriend, the girl did not make a noise and just installed a camera in her home.
In October, she once again discovered that her other cat was unrecognizable. It broke eight ribs and damaged its internal organs, so much so that the police thought it had been hit by a car.
At this time, after the girlfriend checked the camera, she finally found out the true face of her boyfriend Kahler: he beat and tortured the cat with a metal rod for five hours. Eventually, the cat had to be euthanized.
At the time of the autopsy, the doctor also found that the cat had traces of healing from injuries on its head, so it was probably not the first time that such a cat was abused......
The footage captured by the cameras eventually became ironclad evidence for the conviction of Caughler, who was charged with animal cruelty, a third-degree felony in Texas involving torture, serious bodily harm or death. Finally, on August 31, 2023, Caughler was sentenced to 6 years in prison.
Is it a six-year prison sentence for abusing two cats? In the area where these crimes were committed, many people think that this sentence is appropriate.
The cruelty to small animals is horrific, not only because some small animals have been harmed, but more importantly, because the cruelty to animals shows that the perpetrator can inflict pain and harm on weak and innocent beings who are powerless to fight without burden. This means that he lacks basic respect for life, no pity, no compassion.
In addition, research suggests that animal cruelty can be an early sign of broader violence and may be a marker of antisocial personality disorder.
According to the "link to violence" theory, animal abusers are more likely to extend violence to humans, including family members and the rest of society. Some notorious serial killers have had brutal acts of animal cruelty before they were killed.
Xu Mouxiang once said on the Internet that he wanted to kill people, is he using cat abuse as a substitute to express his desire to commit violence? What if one day, he wants to "escalate" his sadistic behavior? Just thinking about it makes me feel terrifying.
Finally, back to this matter. Nanjing University rejected him, and Lanzhou University was eventually rejected by Lanzhou University after an interview with Xu Mouxiang.
