AIR GUN LICENSING

- Nicky Cooke

Iwas so pleased to see the news story about air gun licensing (‘Renewed calls for air gun licensing’) in the

May issue.

My two-year-old cat Poppet was killed last November after being shot by an air gun. She made it home and died during surgery. She was a rescue cat and I had only had her for 10 short months but she was adorable.

The police were kind but it wasn’t taken particular­ly seriously.Two other cats have been shot in the area and a cat has been snared round the throat. Local rehoming centres have now deemed the area unsuitable for rehoming cats due to ‘extreme animal cruelty. ’Thank you for raising this subject.
