Cat shot: Police are looking for witnesses
A terrible crime in western Styria: an unknown animal hater has shot a cat. The incident took place at the beginning of September. So far, however, there are no leads on the perpetrator or the owner. Now the police are hoping for help from the public.
Between 6 and 7 September 2024 (from Friday to Saturday), the still unknown person is believed to have shot at the reddish cat with a small-caliber rifle in the Schrott area near Hochtregist (municipality of Bärnbach). The animal was shot through the thigh.
Animal barely survived
A local resident discovered the injured animal in the morning hours of September 7 and took the cat to a vet. She was operated on there and survived the brutal attack with severe injuries.
Who is missing their cat?
Since then, the police have been investigating on suspicion of cruelty to animals. "However, investigations to date have been unsuccessful. So far, no information has been obtained about the suspect or the owner of the animal", says police spokesman Markus Lamb. Who is missing the pretty velvet paw?
The Voitsberg police station is therefore appealing for information on 059133/6190.
