A mum says her children have been left 'traumatised' after their family pets were killed right in front of their eyes in a vicious attack. Mum-of-five Paisleysaid her kids are now 'scared to leave the house' after witnessing their beloved cats get mauled to death by two dogs.

The mum had just returned home from a shopping trip when the brutal attack unfolded in their family home, whilst four of her kids were inside. A pair of loose Rottweilers charged into the house just as they were unpacking their weekly shop on Wednesday, August 30.
