To HAVE MORE than 9 CATS is a CRIMINAL OFFENCE in SWEDEN (2)

This was filmed on 24 July 2020. - You might find this title appaling and I MUST EXPLAIN .- I myself have had more than 9 cats and have been punished severely for this "crime". (Watch the following videos to understand that I do not exagerate). THIS LAW EXISTS. You can apply for a permit to have more cats. Cat-breeders apply for such a permit and usually get it. I am not a cat-breeder but a VETERINARY SURGEON. As a vet I may have/shelter/treat as many cays as I can manage. There is NO LIMIT. Most of the cats that I "had" were my patients, they had been spayed/neutered and treated for physical diseases but were still with me for rehab/socializing. In Sweden such a treatment is neighter known nor acknowledged. So in 2016 the court decided that the cats at my home (59 at that time) were my private ones, I had no permit to keep so many. Consequently I was severely punished and represented as a true criminal ("brott mot djurskyddslagen").
It did NOT MATTER that all cats were well-fed and well cared for. This never mattered to the authorities (länsstyrelsen).
In 2016 I still had a permit to have 25 cats, a permit I was given in 2006 by another authority.
That was an eyesore for the authorities of 2016. They were obsessed in destroying what I do for homeless cats. They still are and NOBODY can understand why.
There aim was to take this permit from me AND to take my vet license, their methods to succeed have been despicable.
In upcoming videos I shall explain.
In this particular video from 2020 I show a male neutered cat brought to me to be euthanized because he was "agressive". He actually needed treatment for a tumor in his ear and was not neutered. I treated and kept him. He soon became a sweet, affectionate and loving cat. He became friends with the kittens I had at that time, like a father, their mother did not mind at all. This mother (the black one) was brought to me in advanced pregnancy. If I had not taken her she would have delivered her kittens somewhere on the streets where she was living.
I found new owners for the kittens, my neighbours officially adopted the two grown-up ones.
