This evening at 5.40 I was turning into manor grove and there were 3 teenagers (2 boys and a girl) standing near the ESB box. The beautiful ginger cat that I see around here regularly had a large stick launched at it. Thankfully wasn’t hit. I stopped my car and confronted the boy that did it and asked him what he was doing trying to hit a cat with a stick. Obviously my confrontation was faced with laughter and denial even though I said I had seen him do it!!! Please educate your children/teens that animal abuse/cruelty is abhorrent and despicable. I’m just frustrated with myself that I didn’t get my phone and the their photo so people could identify them, I’ll know for the (hopefully not) next time. Vile behaviour from people living in our lovely estate 😡
