According to the post, the dogs were spotted chasing cats at around 5am.

It appears that they may have done far more harm than that.

Killed

According to a few posts on Facebook group Support Tampines Caregivers, the dogs might have been responsible for a slew of cases where community cats were mauled to death.

Oreo, unfortunately, died shortly after the attack.

According to one post, the death toll stands at around three cats.
