They could say dog was out of control but its not actually an offence for a dog to kill a cat dating back to when dogs where licenced and cats are not if you ran over a dog when they were licenced you had to inform the police but if you ran over a cat you didnt so now no dog licence so your dog killing the cat is an act of nature.

Iv been in your situation a few times, Police told me each time to be more careful with the dogs.

Like I say I do feel bad about it because at the end of the day it is someone's pet but it was a accident and I've tryed to make the peace . Thanks for the advice anyway . I just think stuff like this happen gives lads with lurches a bad name you know what do gooders are like if it was a lab or a collie that killed it there wouldn't be much said but because it was a lurcher it was done on purpes if you know what I mean

Sounds like you were in a built up area, if that's right, were the dogs leashed?

That's nonsense.

 

You can be prosecuted for having dogs out of control in a public place.

Should have took the cat with ya and denied anything happend if she called the police say you have no idea what she is talking about it might have worked haha

If you were in a public place the dogs should have been on leads, no matter how well trained or what their breed is.

[bracken boy 584]

All dogs should be on lead public place but you have said freak accident and showed remorse so hey lets move on and hope owner of cat understands but some people will not be happy and you cant blame them.

[General lee 979]

Happened to me a couple years back. Took the dogs along the back of the railway, as everyone does, it's basically amid path through the scrub, I let the dogs off one at a time to get the toilet, I assume the cat was laying in wait for mice or birds or summit anyway it jumped up the fence when the dog got too close I didn't even see it and she grabbed it off the fence and it became the old cat hat, wrapped round her head, it must've been less than 10-15 seconds but by that time I had a pink dog with various puncture wounds and a tabbed ear, anyhow I got in contact with the owner when I saw the missing cat sign in the local shop, explained what had happened and luckily someone else had saw it happen saw the sign and phoned her and told her what had happened and that I made an attempt to stop it. The woman was very understanding but obviously unhappy
