1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: Yesterday news broke of seven deceased cats found in the

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: barassa in the vicinity of Ebenezer, which is about ten

3
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: kilometers north of Neuriyutpa near Sturt Road and Carra Hill

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: Road and Pipeline Road. Six were adults, one was younger.

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: The ARISPCA investigating appealing for cat owners in the region

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: to contain cats to their properties. Just awful, Carolin Jones

7
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: from the ARISPCA and Caroline, I understand there is an

8
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: update to this.

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning Mashew and moaning to your listeners. Yes,

10
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 2: unfortunately we do have an update. We received advice today

11
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 2: from the local council about a further two cats have

12
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: been found deceased, not far from the other seven cats,

13
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 2: but they were more hidden, which might explain why they've

14
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: only been located just recently. Again, not known what's actually

15
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: happened here. Their juvenile perk, there're a similar color to

16
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 2: the other cats, So through the chances that these cats

17
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: were part of the same colony, perhaps that we're really

18
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: guessing at this and we're really seeking some information to

19
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: help with this investigation.

20
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: Have you been able to verify yet if any were

21
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: micro chipped or identifiable in any way.

22
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 2: None of these cats were micro tipt and that is,

23
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 2: you know, if they were owned cats, that means that,

24
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: you know, we can't obviously identify them as being owned,

25
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: because the microchip is the full proof way and the

26
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: legally required way to identify your cat.

27
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: Okay, so appealing for witnesses now, Carolyn and anyone who

28
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: can help. I imagine that's right.

29
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a rural road. It's obviously there's

30
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: no CCTV cameras out there to show somebody else to

31
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: be dumping these cats, and indeed they have been dumped.

32
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 2: So we're very much seeking some public assistance if anybody

33
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: knows anything about this whatsoever. These kind of taped us

34
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: on one three hundred or triple seven double two.

35
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: Is the fear that they've met foul play?

36
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: You're there, well, so you're just dropping sorry, I'll just meet.

37
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 1: Them, okay, Okay, Is the fear the cats met therein

38
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: through foul play? Oh?

39
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: Most definitely. Yes. I mean there's some suggestion, perhaps one

40
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: in fact, that who looked at the photo, which is

41
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: really quite a shocking image of these seven cats, suggested

42
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: that possibly poisoned because one of the cats appears to

43
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 2: be gasping. You know, we don't know what's happened. There

44
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: was no obvious physical injury. They had been dumped a

45
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: few days prior, because they were in a state of

46
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 2: some decomposition but not not completely, so maybe three or

47
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: four days they'd been dumped. But yes, we're not not

48
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: sure what's happened. But the concern is that obviously they

49
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: have been killed, maybe in a manner that has not

50
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: been humane, and it's certainly something that we need to

51
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 2: find out what's gone on because this is a large

52
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 2: number of animals to just turn up defeased in such

53
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: a terrible way.

54
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely so, all right, and again your message to

55
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: cat owners just give us that people in the area

56
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: you'd want them to look after their moggies.

57
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I mean, our SPCIA is very much in favor

58
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: of containing cats to the owner's properties, because it's not

59
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: only for the cat's welfare. Cats are the ones that

60
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 2: our rest losses are most called to. For cats being

61
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: hit by cars or you know, taped by dogs. All

62
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: sorts of things can happen to our beautiful pet cats

63
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: if they wonder if our properties. And of course also

64
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: it's a way to ensure that wildlife is not affected.

65
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: So yes, please contain your cats to your properties, and

66
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: that is not just locking them necessarily indoors, but also

67
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 2: providing some kind of an enclosure so they do have

68
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: some outdoor access that's going to help with their well being.

69
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: Carol, I appreciate your time this morning. I hope you

70
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: get to the bottom of it really quickly. Thank you,

71
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: Thank you, Matthew, Carol and Jones ARISPCA SA just an

72
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,040

73
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: left these cats where they've been found up near Ebereneza

74
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: in the Barossa Valley northern Barasca, north of newy So

75
