In the last two weeks, nine pet cats in Weston-super-Mare, six of them in the same street on the Bournville housing estate, have died after being poisoned with anti-freeze.
The recent spate of feline deaths follows an identical poisoning outbreak between April and August in nearby Bridgwater, which took the lives of 19 moggies.
All suffered vomiting, diarrhoea and fits and eventual kidney failure, caused by ingesting ethylene glycol - the agent commonly found in anti-freeze.
Animal rights (http://uk.news.yahoo.com/fc/animal-rights.html) organisation Peta (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) believes the poisonings were deliberate and has stumped up a cash reward to track down the killer.
It is offering £1000 in exchange for information leading to the prosecution of the culprit or culprits.
Peta's Suzanne Barnard claimed that because animals were often the perfect "practice" victims for violent people.
"Weston-super-Mare residents have good reason to be concerned," she said.
"Research in psychology and criminology shows that people who commit acts of cruelty to animals often go on to commit violent acts against their fellow humans.
"As long as the perpetrators of this crime (http://uk.news.yahoo.com/fc/crime-punishment.html) are at large, other animals in the area - and human residents - might also be in danger.
"Animal abusers are cowards. They take their issues out on the most defenceless beings available to them."
Peta is urging residents to keep a watchful eye on their animals and to keep all cats indoors.
A police investigation was launched last month by Avon and Somerset Police and the RSPCA.
The RSPCA said its investigation was split between searching for a malicious psychopath and an innocent source of the chemical, like a breaker's yard.
Police are awaiting the outcome of post-mortem examinations to determine the exact cause of deaths.
In September, Inspector John Norman said: "Geography and distance would suggest the fact that cats being poisoned in both places is just a coincidence.
"However, as we don't know if this is an accident or deliberate poisoning, it is possible that the person responsible read about what was happening in Bridgwater and decided to be a copy-cat cat killer."
Anyone with information about the killings is asked to contact the RSPCA on 0300 1234 999.

about time they did something about all these animal murders, there sick.

Tbh, that's quite a saddening post. What kind of sick-minded person would do such a thing to kill cats with anti-freeze?

[GommeInc]

Pffft, PETA. It could be someone who really hates cats or it's a coincidence, but that depends on what was the cause of death :/ Doesn't mean the only reason they're doing this is to kill other humans in the future, even though Anti-Freeze is a terrible and near impossible form of murder on another human. PETA are stupid, it's not practice if you're using anti-freeze to kill an animal and are going to kill someone using a different method, that's killing for the sake of killing an animal. If you were practicing on an animal to kill another human, you'll use something effective, like knives, guns or a more convincing form of poison not anti-freeze. The fact they're calling it anti-freeze is stupid, when it could be another chemical. Such a terrible charity, amazing they're still around :/

I would rather get in contact with the RSPCA than PETA, more brains and common sense...

Sorry, have to disagree, the RSPCA are the most unhelpful bunch of people ever.

I'd rather try catch the guy/girl myself.

Judging from the article, the RSPCA talked more sense than PETA. To be honest, if the PDSA had a force similar to the RSPCA, it'll be the best in this country, but they only specialise in pet work, and they're good at it :)
