Manchester City Council has launched an urgent investigation
after a bin bag full of severed cats' heads was found on a street near the
city’s famous Curry Mile.
James Hamilton(photo) made the shock finding near his home in Rusholme, close to the city center.
The
34-year-old Hamilton, who works for Manchester's tram network, said: "I was
going out for some food and walking down the side street when I saw a
black bin bag filled with something that looked suspicious.
- "When I opened it I couldn't believe my eyes. There were about five cats' heads in there. I can't get over the shock of it."
- Hamilton said his distress was heightened by the fact he has five cats of his own.
- The bin bag’s contents were revealed in a memo sent to councillors and council officials, which described the findings as “cat heads”.
- The Chairman of the local Conservative Association, Stephen Woods, told local news everyone was “flabbergasted” when they received the news.
- “It’s absolutely disgraceful the way they have been treated,” he said.
The animal remains were condemned as “an extreme example of
animal cruelty” by Manchester City Council, who said an investigation into the
“sickening” incident is now underway.
In a statement, it said: “A member of our team was called to
an address in Rusholme and discovered a fly-tipped black
bin-liner containing animal remains.
“This is obviously an incredibly distressing and sickening
incident which we are now looking into but this is the first incident of its
kind we have come across."
