PSA: IF YOU LIVE IN ENGLAND PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE

Some of you may have heard about the UK Cat Killer, some sick fuck who has killed and mutilated over 300 cats and other animals such as pet rabbits and wild foxes over the past 3-4 years.

Recently there have been an influx of more killings especially around the South Eastern area, including Surrey, Hampshire, Sussex, Berkshire, etc, where the animals have been mutilated and either returned to their owner or left on footpaths and sidewalks where kids regularly walk to school. School children have been finding theses horribly mutilated animals. Most recently, however, on Monday a lady’s cat was found beheaded and splayed out in a star shape beneath her bedroom window in the morning about 2 minutes away from where I live, my mum works at a vets and was visited by Scotland yard police who advised everyone who lives in the area to keep their pets in at all times if possible. Especially at night.

So, since Tumblr is so American-centric, I thought I’d write a little PSA telling people who live in the UK to please keep your pets in at night, and if possible, during the day.

This has been a PSA, thank you.

In addition be careful of yourselves and your children. This person has been violent towards animals for a while, it would not be unusual if they escalated to targeting people.

Starting on animals and escalating to people is a well recognized pattern with violent crime in general. This is a concern beyond the welfare of cats – even a deer is possibly linked to this case- vulnerable members of society are also at risk. That includes children, the elderly who live alone, many of whom will have cats for companions, and the homeless.

Keep your animals inside. Cats are an easy target because they leave the yard, but it sounds like any opportunity is fair game. Keep an eye on kids, on the sick or elderly, and try to stay in groups. Take photos of things that are weird, including number plates. This has gone on for a very long time.
