Bob, a black and white cat, tragically went missing on May 21. His body was found two days later in an alley, with severe injuries that suggest foul play. Kayleigh Staunton, Bob's owner, suspected he was a victim of human violence, as a veterinarian confirmed the possibility of intentional harm. Following Bob's death, awareness was raised through SLAIN, which sought information from the local community regarding similar incidents. Reports indicated that Bob’s death could be part of a disturbing trend of animal cruelty in the area. Bob, beloved by his family, is deeply missed.
"I saw a post on social media and automatically thought, oh my gosh, this could be our Bob. I walked around the area and he was just there with literally no head, just his body."
"She said this looks like somebody has strangulated him and then decapitated his head. It was just awful. Absolutely awful."
"SLAIN created and distributed leaflets in the area and began asking for CCTV footage between 12pm on May 21 and 8pm on May 23. The leaflet says the injuries appear to be human related and asks people to report anything unusual."
"This wasn't an isolated case in her area. Shortly after Bob's death, she saw on Facebook that another cat had been found decapitated nearby."
