The RSPCA has issued a warning to pet owners in one part of Merseyside after a cat was killed in a "barbaric" trap.
Stan the cat was found dead under a car in Pennard Avenue, Huyton, with a heavy spring trap around his head. He is not believed to have travelled very far when he became stuck in the trap and suffered from horrific injuries, which ultimately proved fatal.
Food was found glued the trap along with fur which appeared to have come from another animal. The RSPCA is urging people in the area to remain cautious following the incident and come forward with any information.
