morton 5,368 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 If there was no intent on your part,the law recognises it as a misfortunate accident.All you can be legally expected to do is be more aware and take precautions that it does,nt happen again. 1 Quote Link to post

AR177 588 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Bury the cat quick and hope she dosnt notice! ... No in all seriousness morton is right, as you have not intentionally set your dog onto the cat and it was an unfortunate accident the law shouldnt come down on you. However maybe you should keep an eye out for the activists they might see it as a greater offence than the police ATB Adam Quote Link to post
