For the second time this week, the DPSCA has found a decapitated animal in Dublin.
On Thursday afternoon, an inspector was called to a green area in Ballyboden, south Dublin, where a cat's body had been dumped.
The cat, a tabby and white female, had been decapitated and the head was not found at the scene.
This is the second case of a mutilated animal in Dublin in less than a week.
The DSPCA and Rathfarnham Gardai are investigating and are calling on anyone who saw something suspicious or who may have any CCTV footage to contact Rathfarnham Garda Station as soon as possible.
A DSPCA spokesperson said: "This is the second case of a decapitated pet in Dublin in just four days.
"We are working with the Gardai in both cases and really need the public’s help in finding the persons responsible.”
On Monday afternoon, the DSPCA received a call from a member of the public alerting them to the body of a dog that had been dumped in the shed beside some apartments.
Upon inspection, they discovered that it had been decapitated.
The large tan male un-neutered bull terrier type was removed to the DSPCA Shelter in Rathfarnham and were examined by DSPCA Veterinary team.
The DSPCA and gardaí at Clondalkin Garda Station are investigating.
