Residents in Mahon says cats in the area are under attack with two tortured and killed within days of each other
The ISPCA says it is aware of the cases and has passed the information on to the Gardai who are investigating the matter
Locals say the attacks began a few weeks ago when a large group of boys used an old stray cat as bait in a dog fight
This woman who lives in the area and witnessed dogs being set on another cat last night told the Neil Prendeville Show the attacks are horrific
"It's one of the most horrific things that I've ever actually had to witness. And then last night's one was a neighbour's cat, and it was killed outside the front of its house after a dog was set on it. I heard the commotion, I heard the cat screaming, but of course, by the time we got there, he was done"
