I found a dead cat on the pavement of our street in Sydenham, with its tail off at the base. The cat was laid centre of the pavement at a 45 degree angle. I put it down to foxes or a dog maybe


This was last year in about September or October I think


I live close to Wells Park

Seabag - please can you tell SNARL about this? Thanks....

I absolutely agree with every word of this.

I thought this had moved on, but as you chipped in, I can only suppose you haven't read the earlier post where mrsilencio gave an otherwise very full description (omitting only IC classification) - that is the weird part - why only leave that one fact out of an otherwise full/decent description which was plainly intended to let us know what that person's appearance was.


Anyway, it's her/his call if he/she wants only to give a partial description - my objection was that the 'argument' advanced to justify it was entirely flawed and illogical. There was actually no need to 'justify' anything with a bogus argument - he/she could simply have said sorry I don't care to do give any more detailed ID description.

No worries - no need for PM. I'm sure we all share the hope the sicko is caught in double quick time. It's likely the publicity will be beneficial - ED must have only a handful (if that) of police officers on patrol at any one time, but if large numbers of the general public are being vigilant when they are out on the streets (or people who know the offender may notice incriminating behaviour), then that must increase the chances of the person responsible being caught.
Surely with the sheer number of incidents the police would be able to find some CCTV footage with the same person popping up again and again. If they actually spent time looking and analysing footage from CCTV cameras near all victims. Especially if criminologists have suggested this sort of crime could potentially progress to "more serious" crimes then surely more should be done by the police to catch them.
They are left in a location which is different to that in which they were taken, so it's not that simple (the police wouldn't have a precise location to check). Also they are not necessarily left where they are to be found at a time close to when they were taken. There's also not that much CCTV in residential streets (not like a main road or high street). I think the best chance of catching him or her must be for someone to be suspicious/see someone they know with gruesome images or remains and to tip off the police, or for a member of the public to see something as its happening or as he/she is planning/hunting for an animal and to dial 999 as requested (not 101).

SNARL says to alert them or the RSPCA,which are now also dealing with this

please stay with the animal until it has been collected....

there have also been reports of foxes & rabbits been victims of these cruel incidents

Cats have been lured with chicken & body parts are usually found at neighbours doors


PLEASE KEEP CATS INSIDE AT NIGHTS

THE LAST ATTEMPT WAS 2 DAYS AGO AT 5.00 IN THE MORNING

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
