Island Echo has actually received several reports over night of 2 ‘whippet type’ dogs supposedly assaulting cats in the Bay Area with a minimum of 1 cat reported killed.
Island VetCare released an alerting to cat owners last night (Friday) in the Shanklin and Lake locations that they had actually received 2 different reports of cats being assaulted by a set of ‘whippet type dogs’.
Subsequent sightings of the dogs put them near the KFC in Lake prior to heading towards Shanklin & Sandown Golf Club where members of the general public attempted unsuccessfully to capture them.
The events have actually been reported to Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary who have actually been approached by Island Echo for remark.
In the meantime cat owners in the location are recommended to keep their family pets inside your home.
