— “The animals have been cut with a “sharp object.
... It's difficult as the cats are (often) found at midday and then we
have to work out when they were last seen — the ones with owners that is.”

- Andy Collin, Detective Sergeant, Croydon, U. K. Police Dept.

— “There have been upwards of 50 cats, rabbits and foxes found dead,
apparently murdered, near London over the past couple of years.”

March 6, 2016  London Borough of Croydon region 12 miles south of London, England - There have been some fifty bloodless cat, fox and rabbit mutilations between January 2014 to January 2016, centered around the Borough of Croydon in the county of Surrey a little south of London. Since the end of December 2015, PETA in England has increased a reward for information to convict “cat killers” up to £5,000 ($7,116). The South Norwood Animal Rights and Liberty (SNARL) group near Croydon is appealing for anyone with information or concerns about cat mutilations to contact them: SNARL 07957-830490 or 07961-030064.

Croydon Police Detective Sergeant Andy Collin is leading the cat mutilation investigation and says the cats mutilations are “one of the most bizarre” investigations in his 28-year-career. Recently he told the Croydon Advertiser that the animals have been cut with a “sharp object. ... It's difficult as the cats are (often) found at midday and then we have to work out when they were last seen — the ones with owners that is.”

“The reptiles, each a meter in length, were found with clean incisions
along the underside of their stomachs and their internal organs were missing.”

- The Herts Advertiser, St. Albans, England, January 21, 2016

“The police forensic investigators said my pony mutilation has been
done by someone who knows what they are doing as the sheaf and all
the area was cut away so precisely that there was no way an animal
could have done it ... and his body was drained of blood.”

- Tracey Jayne Catto, owner of mutilated male pony, Cisco,
Carmarthen, U. K., Dec. 29, 2015

January 22, 2016  Carmarthen, Carmarthenshire, Wales, U. K. and St. Albans, England - Three years ago in January 2012, five horses were reported dead and mutilated in Carmarthenshire, Wales, pastures about 15 miles from Carmarthen, Wales. See five red locations in map below and archived 010512 Earthfiles.

Site Number 1 was near Carmarthen where again on December 28, 2015, a healthy, vigorous, 19-month-old Gypsy cob pony was found dead and mutilated so bloodlessly that the veterinarian later said after the necropsy that the pony's heart had no clotted blood and “was dry to touch.”

— “There were no tracks and only drops of blood, but the genitals
had been neatly removed from this big, white Charolais bull between
2,200 and 2,500 pounds!”

- T. Walton, Harvey County Sheriff, in Newton, Kansas, December 18, 2015

— “We had a second mutilation, this one in McPherson County about 20 miles from here. Happened last night (December 31, 2015). The eye was removed, uncertain how the cow was killed.”

January 2, 2016  Newton, Kansas - The county seat of Harvey County, Kansas, is Newton, a farm town of about 20,000 people some 25 miles straight north of Wichita. The city was founded in 1871 and named after Newton, Massachusetts, the East Coast home of the Atchison, Topeka and Sante Fe Railway stockholders. In August 1871, after its founding, Newton became famous for a gunfight in which eight men were killed. That's why Newton historically was called “the wickedest city in the west.” But it also became an important railroad shipping point for Texas cattle.
