Barbaric ...

SHOCK new pictures of a pup used as shark bait were revealed yesterday as the man behind the atrocity walked free from court.
The little labrador had a wired hook driven through a paw so it could be dragged through the sea to attract sharks.
It is a different pup to the one pictured in The Sun last week with similar hooks in its snout and leg.
Our exposé of the horrors inflicted on strays on French-controlled Reunion Island, near Mauritius, led to the court appearance of Jean-Claude Clain, 51.
The dad of three was convicted of cruelty. But more outrage erupted yesterday after he escaped with a puny three-month SUSPENDED jail sentence.
Paul Littlefair of the RSPCA said: “We would have hoped for a far stronger deterrent. This is very disappointing.”
More than 33,000 Britons have signed an RSPCA petition demanding an end to the savagery.
The pup in our pictures is recovering and has been adopted by a family. |
