Croydon Cat Killer

Thoughts?

I am undecided.

Possible, but I have a lack of complete confidence in that explanation. It's an easy excuse to cover up a lack of ability to catch a disturbed individual if that is the case. Or it could be foxes. From my reading of press reports, and this is only a hazy memory, wasn't there some ritualistic placing of body parts? That could be yellow press as well. The press here, generally, seems somewhat unreliable.     If so, if it's not foxes one would hope that the perp does not move onto humans next. We'll find out in time, I guess, if that's the case.

In any event, I would suggest keeping one's cats indoors. That way they neither are at risk nor do they poop in neighbor's flowerbeds or kill songbirds.

I trust SNARL more. There are distinct signs of a serial killer, the police never spent much time or resources on the case. This impacts the area where I live so I will continue to be cautious and keep and eye out for the neighbourhood kitties.

Foxes are scavengers so of course they would find these animals after they were killed.

I'm 100% behind the owners when they say they know there has been foul play.  The truth will come out eventually.. it always does.

Seems very convenient after all this time to brush it under the rug.  I don’t buy that this is foxes and cars.   

We have always thought is was classic foxes as we saw enough of that in the countryside, where they do cull the foxes. It was how I knew the old wild ginger tom had died, that I had been trying to catch for ages so he could be snipped. Lots of the larger size predator foxes have moved into towns and citys, where they can easily find food and councils don't cull. Most cities have always had the tiny scavenger type foxes.

One woman on the fourms said she saw two fox cubs playing tug of war with her elderly cat, but sadly could not get there quick enough.

I have no doubt that foxes attack cats from time to time, especially the young, sick and elderly. But that isn't what people are concerned with here. I've read the many statements from owners and SNARL and that is not the action of wild animals.

I have seen bits of cats, usually the skull, and we lived the middle of nowhere. How could somebody just arrive and catch a wild cat in the middle of hundreds of acres of farmland, that I had been trying to get for ages? Even when they were injured after a fight and needed a vet, they wouldn't let me catch them. I have also seen a wild kitten, but the insides were gone. Yes these were young and eldery, but we didn't have cars there. Why do people let their cats stray when there is traffic about?

I think that some might have been sick people, but some are classic countryside larger predator foxes. Those who have found parts, said they looked on their cctv and saw foxes with the parts, not people.  The UK has cctv everywhere in cities.

Hmmm. Could be both?
