Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Thursday September 7, 2006 - The Star Bounty offered on kitty killer ANIMAL welfare groups are offering a S$2,000 (RM4,660) reward to anyone who can help catch a cat killer who has slaughtered at least 18 animals in Jurong East over the past two weeks. Since Aug 20 cat carcasses, many with their throats slit, have been appearing with disturbing regularity in drains, at void decks and under bushes. A cleaner in the area said he found 10 dead cats in the vicinity of blocks 323, 344 and 354 in the space of a week. A group of residents and cat lovers from across Singapore are now monitoring the area, while the Cat Welfare Society and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals have asked the police to step up patrols. Said Jurong resident Ng Swee Ching, 26, a public relations executive: " We were horrified and decided to form a group to alert the other residents so that the killing will stop. " Now, more than 20 residents and volunteers are on the lookout for the cat killer. Yesterday, just as the group of kitty detectives asked for the media's help to alert more residents to the problem, another dead cat was found at Block 320, with its throat slit open. Said one of the group's members, Sandy Lim: " This is not the first time the throats of the cats were cut. It's one of the most vicious wounds I've seen. " Lim and her friends – who have helped to catch two cat abusers already this year – volunteered to help patrol in Jurong East, even though they live as far away as Changi and Eunos. – The Straits Times / Asia News Network Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
