I saw this on Mail Online and wouldn't open it, the words I read and the pics. shown were bad enough. I felt sick to my stomach as I often do when confronted with violent animal abuse and once again I utterly despaired of my race. If it is nature's way of paying back, then I hope with all my heart that the perpetrators of such cruelty pay the price by suffering and dying slowly and painfully and if anyone thinks that's shocking, picture a beautiful, defenceless dog who only wants to love being slowly and viciously beaten to death with a big stick - save your pity for that lovely dog and his like !
