| Help find sick yobs who hanged two lurcher puppies from canal bridge
by Krissy Storrar, Daily Mirror
1/01/2011
We apologise for distressing you and your family with this
sickening picture. We are publishing it in the hope the beasts who did
this are caught and severely punished
HANGED by the neck in a barbaric, sadistic killing, two dogs dangle either side of a canal bridge.
This appalling image of cruelty in a picturesque village has sickened even case-hardened RSPCA workers.
The pups – a male and female lurcher aged around 12-18months – were
both wearing leather collars, but had no identity tags or micro-chips.
The grim scene was discovered by horrified driver Mavis Taylor, 78,
who found the road blocked by a 20ft rope slung around the dogs’ necks
at either end.
She said: “It was terrible. I got out and looked over one side of
the bridge and saw one dog, then I looked over the other side and saw
the second.
“I couldn’t believe my eyes. I just got back in my car and phoned the police. How could anyone do that?
“I was disgusted. They were only young dogs, and beautiful too. It’s a terrible crime. I’m still shaking.”
She added: “I’ve lived here for 20 years. It’s a lovely, quiet area. This just isn’t the sort of thing you expect.
“I hope they catch who did it. They deserve everything that’s coming
to them.” The RSPCA has launched a major investigation into the macabre
executions at Congerstone, Leics.
And they released this graphic picture in a bid to trap whoever is responsible.
Local inspector Sheona Morley described it as the worst case of
cruelty she had encountered in almost 14 years working for the charity.
Ms Morley told how she had to cut the dogs down with the help of two
police officers. She said: “It made me absolutely sick to my stomach to
see two such beautiful, stunning animals hanging there like that.
“It appears to have been a callous, premeditated act and it is highly likely that more than one person could have been involved.
“It would have taken quite an effort and a fair bit of planning to carry out something as evil as this.”
She added: “There is absolutely no excuse to treat any animal in
such a way. It’s just beyond words. The dogs seemed well-looked after at
some point. It is a mystery where they have come from, or who has done
this.
“It could be that the animals were stolen – we just don’t know at
the moment. We would urge anyone who is missing two lurchers to contact
us.
“It’s just a mindless act of cruelty. It’s extremely distressing.”
Police have launched an appeal for information. They believe whoever
was responsible may be deeply disturbed and could pose a serious
threat.
A spokesman for Leicester police said: “We’d ask anyone who has any
information to contact ourselves or the RSPCA, which is leading the
investigation.”
