The B.C. SPCA is investigating the death of a cat after it was found in a Lower Mainland park, with Zap straps around its legs and neck.

The cat had been placed on a swing in Cook Park in central Maple Ridge. It was discovered by a passerby around 10:40 a.m. on Oct. 26.

香蕉视频直播淲e can香蕉视频直播檛 come to a conclusion right now whether the cat was deceased when those were put on or whether that was put on and was the cause of death,香蕉视频直播 she added of the Zap straps.

The body has since been sent off for a necropsy and there is an open investigation. The RCMP have confirmed they have an open file on the feline.

Moriarty said the way the cat was found is 香蕉视频直播渙bviously extremely problematic,香蕉视频直播 regardless of whether it was michief or had been killed by another animal before someone found it and used the plastic straps.

香蕉视频直播滻s it technically illegal under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act? No. We would have to be able to establish that the animal was in distress,香蕉视频直播 Moriarty added.

A posting on social media indicated there may have been more than one animal found with Zap-straps binding its legs and neck, but so far the SPCA is only aware of the one cat.

香蕉视频直播淚f others were found, absolutely we want to be contacted,香蕉视频直播 said Moriarty.

香蕉视频直播淥nce cause of death is determined, either way, we will be seeking information if anybody has evidence as to who might have done this to contact us.香蕉视频直播
