£1,000 manhunt launched to find ‘scum’ who battered and hanged cat to death

Animal lovers have clubbed together to post a £1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of a sicko who killed a pet cat in Bristol.

Evie was found tied to a fence with a rope around her neck and with other injuries, Bristol Live reports.

A post-mortem has revealed that she died from being hanged and it’s unclear whether her other injuries were from being beaten or self-inflicted in her desperation to escape.

The cat's owner said Evie hadn’t been seen since the previous evening and on Saturday she was called by a local vet to say her cat had been found dead by a member of the public.

“What cowardly low life scum of the earth would commit such a heinous crime on a defenceless creature who had never harmed anyone and only ever wanted to be friendly? Whoever they are I hope they get what they deserve, but sadly that won't bring Evie back.

“We would also ask that anyone owning a cat in and around the Patchway area be vigilant and try to keep a close watch on their cats, and ensure that they are kept in overnight as soon as it gets dark – there are some evil, dysfunctional apologies for human beings out there who are preying on defenceless animals!”
