A cat has suffered a severe eye injury after the animal was discovered caught in a snare in a Newry park last Saturday.

Unfortunately, he has seriously damaged his eye which may need to be removed. “The USPCA recognises the necessity of capturing animals on a limited scale for a variety of reasons, however the only acceptable means of doing so is through the use of live traps, and only when the trap is capable of restraining an animal without causing pain or injury and is visited at least every 12 hours. The cat was taken to a vet who had to use bolt cutters to remove the wire snare and the USPCA revealed the animal may now lose its eye as a result of the injuries sustained.
