Multiple cat deaths cause concern
The RSPCA is appealing for information after concerns that six cats have been found dead in the same street in Tylorstown, Wales, over the past two months.
It is alleged that the cats were each found mauled and dismembered in Gwernllwyn Terrace. A cat owner and resident in the street reported the incidents to the RSPCA on September 30.
Dog attacks are suspected to be behind the deaths, according to RSPCA inspector Selina Chan. She said: "This is a very distressing report and must have been incredibly upsetting for the owners to find their pets like this.
"It’s vital that anyone who knows anything about this horrible incident comes and talk to us in confidence.
"It is likely that the animal responsible for these death is probably a large dog, but we need more information before we can take this any further."
The charity is urging anyone with any information about these incidents, or any related incidents in the area, to contact them on 0300 123 8018.
Defra has published guidance for the vet sector ahead of a proposed UK-EU Sanitary and Phytosanitary agreement.
