Kind of, but the real reason isn’t as complicated: she was going to put them down because caring for cats gets in the way of 1. Eating, and 2. Getting high, and those are the two things that Chantal loves doing more than anything.
Not sure if “slapped around” is the right term, but she’s currently involved with a Syrian man living in Kuwait she found on Tinder, which is why she wears a hijab, claims to have converted to Islam, and seems to have a name of “Miriam al-Rafae”.
Said Syrian man in Kuwait is either using Chantal for his own ends (namely, getting to Canada, where he’s at lesser risk of being deported and conscripted into the military), or has Chantal be a key part of a scam done by him and his friends. (These details seem to change depending on the page and who’s posting, but one of the key things is that Chantal basically changed everything about her for this guy because she has no impulse control, and it’s been said her marriage is both a sham and virtually impossible to be made official thanks to the visa Chantal is using, and there’s speculation she could be denied entry into Kuwait altogether).
