M25 ANIMAL KILLER – WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP
As most people are now aware, there have been upwards of 50 cats, rabbits and foxes found dead, apparently murdered, across London over the past couple of years.
The police are well aware of the issue and are running an active investigation into it.
If you see someone behaving suspiciously around a cat, PLEASE DIAL 999 IMMEDIATELY and report it. It doesn’t matter if it turns out to be nothing – the police want to know.
If you find a cat who has the following injuries:
Slashed neck/ decapitation and/or
Slashed belly and/or
Organs removed and/or
Pelvis removed and/or
Tail removed and/or
Leg/tail removed and/or
Any other injury which looks like it is a knife wound
Please:
Ask the person to contact us on 07957 830 490 or mobile 07961 030064 immediately
It is ABSOLUTELY VITAL that the body is/ parts are safeguarded and we will come out, even if it is after hours. We will liaise with the police and RSPCA to secure the scene.
If the animal is still alive please take him or her straight to the vet for treatment and call us as soon as you can afterwards.
