Egads, the stray cat killer/killers of Yishun may still be on the loose despite the recent arrest, charge and remand of a man who was believed to be behind it all.
The Yishun 326 Tabby cat Facebook page sounded off an urgent alert about yet another dead feline found in the vicinity of Block 734 along Yishun Avenue 5. The adult cat was said to have been found with blood on its ears and mouth. “We appeal urgently for witnesses or for anyone with information to come forward immediately,” they wrote.
However, we can’t assume that the cat died due to human abuse. According to Nee Soon GRC’s Member of Parliament Louis Ng, the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) is currently carrying out a post mortem to confirm if it was indeed a case of abuse.
“It is worrying if it is”, he wrote in a Facebook post. “While we await the results, it’s good to take the initiative to appeal for information in case this is indeed another case of abuse.”
The incident came to a shock to many, especially since police already caught 40-year-old Lee Wai Leong, who was charged for tossing a cat off the 13th floor of a HDB flat in Yishun. He has since been remanded in the Institute of Mental Health for assessment.
However so, that was only one of the 18 alleged cases of stray cat abuse that has struck Yishun in the past few months. If indeed this new death is yet another case of abuse, then the police have yet to capture all the people who’re responsible for the horrific series of cat killings.
