"There seems to be too many missing for it to be anything else. If they had been hit by a car there would be some kind of evidence. They have all just disappeared.”
A classic statement from residents in Somerset UK who are blaming blood sports for large numbers of cats that have gone missing without trace.
"Twenty Five cats in the area have gone missing, and that is just in the past three to four weeks. We think the cats are being stolen. There was once incident recently where a couple were seen trying to put a cat in a bag. As soon as they were disturbed they dropped the cat and ran off. I think the cats are possibly being used for blood sports. There has been too many missing over recent weeks for it to be a coincidence."
Residents fear the animals are being used for cat coursing, when animals are used to train dogs to attack wildlife. A Facebook campaign has now been set up to find the missing cats and prevent others from disappearing and to post about the latest felines that have disappeared.

"I would love to go out (with permission of the police) and see how many cats I could abduct without being caught or drawing attention to myself. I think I would be very lucky to catch one let alone 10.The comment above about a couple seen trying to get a cat in a bag seems like a cover story to calm the public and make them think human cause.Its very much like a story put out a few years back where someone said they saw a man walking the streets at night with a net on a pole. These stories keep us looking at humans as the cause, they stand out to me as pathetic and far fetched. Even though humans can be very cruel, so many missing cats can only have paranormal cause."
