Cat killed by stray dog
Even those whose properties are fenced feel vulnerable as these strays and 'escapees' have been known to jump into yards and attack family pets.
STRAY dogs have long been a problem in Park Rynie and now the situation has turned ugly with one of the strays attacking a cat which was cared for by local businesses.
The cat died from its injuries.

The problem it seems lies not only with the ‘feral’ dogs which roam the streets.
Some irresponsible people fail to adequately secure their properties, which allows their pets to escape and wander at will, sometimes in packs.
Even those whose properties are fenced feel vulnerable as these strays and ‘escapees’ have been known to jump into yards and attack family pets.
“A dog jumps into my property almost every day and there’s nothing I can do about it,” said one.
“My dog’s life is under threat. I have informed the dog’s owner about this, yet he does nothing. We hope that these irregularities will come to an end soon before something major happens, maybe even to a child.”
