Zheng Wei Jian allegedly posed as a kind-hearted adopter on online platforms, primarily Xianyu and WeChat, to deceive rescuers into giving him cats.<ref name="WeChatReport" /><ref name="CAPost" /> He was reportedly so effective in his deception that he boasted, "They absolutely think I'm a good person!"<ref name="CAPost" /> After successfully obtaining the cats, he would violate the adoption agreements by torturing and killing them.<ref name="WeChatReport" /> His mother was also allegedly aware of the situation and, when confronted, blamed the rescuers, stating, "It's all your fault for giving him the cat, that's why he abused and killed it!"<ref name="WeChatReport" /><ref name="CAPost" />

<nowiki>#</nowiki>警惕闲鱼领养##福建莆田一男子以爱心领养名义虐待折磨小猫整整八天# 2025年8月11日，莆田市秀屿区虐猫事件爆光，此人在闲鱼短短时间“领养”“购买”几十只猫，每只猫皆有虐杀视频公布！

莆田骗领养男郑某在群聊中敲下这些字时，一只被他以“领养”名义骗来的小猫，正在经历长达8天的酷刑折磨。

他对这只小猫的伤害，是拳打脚踢后的装袋踩踏，是生生掰断骨头后的反复折磨。猫几次快要断气，都被他用残忍的方式留住一口气，只为让痛苦延续整整八天。到最后，他剥掉猫的皮，把它的身体扎得血肉模糊，即便内脏暴露在外，那颗心还在微弱地跳动。

而这样残忍的事，他已经对至少九只猫做过了。

在领养人眼中，无法识别他人皮下的脏脏罪孽。他用闲鱼账号“等我刷袋猫粮”联系送养人，用微信号“小异瞳家”（zwj11952066）和“Erin”（yyi7w7）构建“爱猫人士”的人设，通过QQ号（3998894089）“枭”（3188228514）与送养人沟通。也许在聊天框中，他会强调“我会把它当孩子疼”，会主动要求视频看猫、询问猫咪饮食习惯，最后告知送养人：“一切你放心好了”。

他的目标，是那些急于为救助的猫找到归宿的普通人。这些送养人往往缺乏警惕，面对主动示好的“领养人”，很容易在“终于给毛孩子找到家”的急切中放下戒心。郑某健不需要多么高明的演技，只需表现出“愿意领养”的诚意，就能让送养人将猫交给他。殊不知，那些看似温暖的承诺，不过是他残害生灵的诱饵——他在虐杀一只蓝猫后曾直言：“蓝猫拿回来了才给弄死，这就是他的死因”，而送养人的信任，成了他所谓纵恶的理由！

“全怪你们把猫送给他，他才虐杀的！”郑某母亲的指责，像一记耳光打在所有送养人脸上。尽管荒谬，却不得不承认：在这场以爱为名的悲剧里，送养人的“轻易相信”，确实成了他手中的刀。

相对负责的领养多是看起来“严格复杂”，会要求领养人提供身份证复印件、签订领养协议、上门家访，缺乏警惕的送养往往仅凭几句聊天、几张照片就完成“交付”。有人因“对方看起来很善良”就省略了身份核实，有人因“怕麻烦对方”放弃了上门考察，更有人在虐杀人以“隐私为由”拒绝回访时，选择了“尊重对方”而非坚持底线。就像这只被折磨8天的小猫，送养人也许直到看到虐杀视频才惊觉：那个说“会好好照顾它”的人，竟将小猫的惨叫当作“乐趣”，将掰断骨头的声音视作“成就”。

更值得反思的是部分送养人的“逃避心理”。当虐杀真相曝光后，有送养人因“怕被报复”选择沉默，有人因“自责”不敢发声。这种沉默反而让郑某健更加肆无忌惮——他曾炫耀“录了10多分钟的虐猫视频，太残忍了想看的私聊我”，正是利用了受害者的恐惧。送养人或许从未想过，一次疏忽的信任，可能让自己从“救助者”变成“间接加害者”，一次沉默的退让，可能让更多小猫坠入同样的地狱。

这些小生命无法选择自己的命运，它们的“第二次投胎”，全凭人类的良心。当领养人在协议上签字，当送养人将猫笼交出去，当房门在小动物身后关上，那一刻，人类就成了它们命运的判官。善与恶，往往只在一念之间。

郑某健的伪装固然狡猾，但送养环节的“想当然”“怕麻烦”“凭感觉”，才让恶意有了可乘之机。

正规的领养流程从来不是“多余的束缚”，而是小动物的“护身符”。

1.要求领养人提供身份证信息，不是不信任，而是为了在意外发生时能追溯责任。

2.2.上门家访，不是窥探隐私，而是亲眼确认“家”是否真的安全。

3.签订包含“禁止虐待、允许回访”条款的协议，不是小题大做，而是为生命立下契约。

“宁可让猫多等几天，也不能让它跳进火坑。严格的审核不是冷漠，是对生命最深的负责。”

因为它们不懂什么是伪装，只知道——你说会给它一个家，它就信了。而这份信任，不该被辜负，更不该被用来杀死它。

最后，我们也呼吁相关职能部门对郑某的恶意骗取领养，残忍虐待无辜生命，公开场合教唆挑衅的行为予以处理重视！人心，道德，良知，底线，公序良俗，这些东西，我们要用法律和行动来正名，他们存在，且有意义！<gallery mode="packed" caption="Pics accompanying the Weibo post">
