The Scottish SPCA are appealing to the public for information after a cat was found in a trap and had to be euthanised.

On 28 January in woodland near MacDuff, Aberdeenshire, a domestic cat had to be put to sleep due to their injuries after becoming stuck in an illegal trap. 

A special investigations inspector said: “These illegal traps are indiscriminate and will cause unnecessary suffering to any animal caught in them.

“We are asking the public to get in touch if they have any information surrounding the circumstances of this cat or trap by calling our animal helpline on 03000 999 999.”
