APPEAL launched after cat shot SIX times with air gun in Oswaldtwistle. Jasper, two, has had to have a hind leg amputated (website and page five):

Elaine Cannon: Absolutely appalling whoever has done this is sick and needs being seriously dealt with. But as said by someone else the law isn’t harsh enough to deal with the sick individuals who think its okay to do this to animals worse still they think is fun. Wonder if they have pets. Hope you get well soon little one and stay indoors where it is safe. x Carol O’Connor: These low lifes’ should be shot in the leg too in my opinion. Karyn Poninska: They should have their legs amputated! Grrrrr someone must know who’s done this. Ossy is hardly a massive town. Hope Jasper gets better soon. David Fitzpatrick: Who ever committed this heinous act should receive a very heavy fine and prison. The money should be used to give the poor cat a reasonable quality of life for the rest of its days. Amanda Holland: What right do these people think they have to hurt animals? Makes me sick this so called “human” race. Carole Greenwood: Somebody must know who. Name and shame the scum or next it could be a child! Hope puss puss gets well soon. Poor boy x James Houghton: Poor moggy, hope he makes as decent a recovery as possible and isn’t too traumatised. With a lot of love and care he’ll adapt quickly. Nigel Fielding: IF found, what would happen to this obviously very sick individual? Not enough! They have no place in a civilised society. The laws regarding animal welfare in this country are nowhere near tough enough. Margaret Hughes: Someone knows who did it. Lee S Newton: The law isn’t strong enough either. They need a good hiding. Josh Blayne Allen: This is why I have indoors cats. Margaret Fawcett: Well said Elaine Cannon. Couldn’t agree more. Disgusting sick people. Lynn Wilkinson: This is terrible, why would you do that to a poor defenceless animal. When they are caught and go to court they get off with a slapped wrist. Julie Sanderson: Cruelty to animals is one of the first stages of becoming a serial killer. Psychos! Shauna Marie: The fact that these things happen to these poor fur babies, these innocent animals makes me sick..... Vanessa Mick: They’d get a slap on the hand.. courts are far too lenient with animal abusers.. they want locking up Sarah Jayne: Absolutely disgusting. I hope the scum who did it are caught. Dee Darcy Heath: Darcy another reason why our boys need to stay house cats. Disgusting. Margaret Fullalove: What a sad thing to do I hope the people who did this horrendous thing are pleased with themselves. Sharon Tedesco: Monster! Hope whoever did this is caught, unfortunately all they’ll get is a slap on the wrist! Karma do your worst... Emily Häworth: Absolutely disgusting. Elaine Parramore: So cruel!

Heartless thugs whoever has done this. Gillian Parkinson: That is absolutely terrible, poor pussycat. Edith Humphreys: Total scum.
