How horrific.
Lurchers are usually very friendly with people. I have known many. I would not have hesitated to stop that attack. I would have been so deadly angry. But unfortunately by the time that was done, the cat would probably have already have sustained fatal injury.
This is the most terrible cruelty, and I agree that man should be prosecuted. The dogs as far as I see it were just obeying a hunting instinct, but that man did nothing to stop it, and his cynical attitude towards the cat's poor body shows he views it as a piece of trash. It may be possible to clean up the video to get 'face recognition'. But local people will definitely know who he is anyway.
He should not be allowed to get away with that.
It sounds as if you did save that cat years ago Catherine. Your instincts sensed what was about to happen.
Unfortunately dogs who haven't grown up with cats may always view them as prey. Then it is up to the dog's caretaker to do something.
