Newry Hunt have expressed their deep regret concerning an incident in December where a County Down woman claimed that multiple hounds from the hunt ran into her garden and tore her pet cat apart.
The woman said that hounds from the hunt entered her property on 30 December 2025. "It was immediately clear that the hounds were not under control and as a result my pet cat was brutally tore apart by multiple hounds." she said.
"What followed has been deeply distressing, instead of coming to me and explaining what had happened as I was there at the time, a member of the hunt attempted to dispose of my cats body by throwing him over the wall. After another member of the hunt come back to get a hound out of our fence, after he then walked down to where my cat was thrown and then threw him further away into the shuck to disregard the incident."
