Two teenagers, who were caught on camera forcing a cat out from underneath a car before setting their dog on it and letting it chase and kill the feline, have received death threats on social media after their identities were leaked. The pair, aged 15 and 17, had recently appeared in court to face charges after admitting to the incident that took place in Gwaelodygrath Lane in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, in May.

This past week, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) released the disturbing CCTV footage of the episode, which was described in court as a "disturbing and deeply sinister attack". It shows one of the teens holding down his dog by the collar as the other walks menacingly towards a parked blue car with a stick in hand.
