The advocacy group Cats of McKinley urges Dog guardians to practice responsible pet ownership after one of their community Cats, Ghost, was attacked by Huskies.
Before the incident, Cats of McKinley posted a public announcement reminding the public to practice responsible pet ownership after they received a report saying that when one of their community Cats was chased by a Dog, the animal’s guardian did nothing but watch.
UNFORTUNATE EVENT
Twenty-four hours after the announcement was posted, Cats of McKinley reported online that they received videos showing one of their community Cats, Ghost, being attacked and bitten by Huskies. Ghost was brought to the vet; unfortunately, she passed away due to complications.
The group stated that they’re coordinating with an animal welfare group for the next steps. They urge the public to keep their Dogs on a leash and to keep Dogs at home if their reactivity to other animals outside is not yet manageable.
“This is not only for the safety of our community [C]ats, but [also] for the safety of people and other animals around you,” the post said.
BEAR WITNESS
If you have videos related to what happened to Ghost, consider sending them to Cats of McKinley. On that note, please refrain from doxxing anyone you believe has been walking their Dogs without a leash.
