Updated: More Cat and Dog Mutilations

"The lack of blood, fur, or severed parts implies the cats are cut in half
in another location and then for unknown reasons returned to the sites where they are found."

- Rachel Banks, Animal Cruelty Investigator,
Barrie, Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA)
