A poor wee tabby cat was mauled and killed this morning in Sixmilewater River Park by 2 dogs off their leads! The owner got the dogs and left the cat. Just a reminder for dog owners to keep control of their dogs at all times. This is not the first time this has happened and no doubt will not be the last. The incident is being reported to Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council and the RSPCA as it's a disgrace the owner didn't stay and take responsibility.
