Absolutely gutted for the family. Our cat got attacked by a roaming dog last year too. Council needs to get off their arses and enforce leash laws properly.

yeah nah it's sad but let's be real... if your cat is 13 years old and still roaming, that's on the owners too

Drew Parker2026-07-08T18:40:00.000Z

nah get stuffed. That's the council's job.

Sage Lawson2026-07-08T18:43:00.000Z

nah mate the cat was in its own yard by the sound of it. don't victim blame.

Poor Maggie 😿 Hope that dog's owner is held accountable. This is why we need stricter penalties for roaming dogs.

Casey Adams2026-07-08T19:20:00.000Z

right, like that'll ever happen. Council fines are a joke.

Bloody roaming dogs. I see them all the time on my morning run. Owners think it's fine until something like this happens. Ffs.

Chloe Martin2026-07-08T20:19:00.000Z

still doesn't change the fact that owners need to take responsibility for their pets. both sides.

So heartbreaking. That poor family. We need to look out for each other and keep our pets safe. Thoughts are with them.

if the dog was that aggressive it should be put down imo. end of story.

Alex Rivera2026-07-08T20:17:00.000Z

Exactly. If the dog's aggressive, it's a danger to the community. Simple.

My cat was killed by a dog last year. It's devastating. The council needs to do more to enforce dog control. RIP Maggie.

Luca Reid2026-07-08T20:37:00.000Z

here, it's heartbreaking. Sending love.

What a load of shit. Hope karma bites that dog owner hard.
