Pet Cat Seriously Injured After Being Set On Fire Co Down
A pet cat has suffered serious injuries after being set on fire in Co Down.
The 18-month-old cat named Tiger is being treated for burns at a veterinary clinic.
Police described the attack as "utterly disgusting".
The owners are very shocked and upset, according to the police.
Chief Inspector Derek McCamley said: "It is hard to understand why someone would do this to a defenceless vulnerable family pet but we need to know who did this. We need to speak to anyone who was in the area of Kernaghan Park Hillsborough before 5pm on Wednesday 09 March when the cat was found. We want to know about suspicious activity. We want people to come forward if they heard or saw anything untoward, and give us descriptions of anyone in the area throughout the day. The number to call is 101 and ask to speak to Lisburn PSNI but if you would rather pass information anonymously you can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
