SHOCKING | Body of tortured cat found in Ahoghill

The body of a tortured cat was found yesterday in Ahoghill village. In a shocking act of cruelty, it looked like the defenceless animal had been skinned.

Alderman Stewart McDonald commented: “No way a wild animal would be capable of skinning another animal like this, suggesting that someone must be responsible.

“It’s disgusting, sick, that someone could do this to a defenceless animal - the most appalling and barbaric death.

“It is vital that we discover what happened to this poor animal. I’d urge anyone with information to contact the local PSNI.”
