Sadly more animal mutilation to report tonight, this time up in Bedlington, Northumberland.
A greyhound has been found in enormous pain, clearly the victim of a sadistic torture programme. Both the animals ears had been cut off, and electrical tape wrapped around it’s back and rear legs.
RSPCA Inspector Ian Smith told the BBC: “This is a horrific and sickening act of cruelty.
“It is clear this dog’s ears have been removed by a sharp implement, which must have caused him unimaginable pain and distress.
“Thankfully he was rescued early and taken to safety, else he easily could have died.
“We just hope someone will now come forward with vital information to help us discover what happened.”
Police are speculating that the ears were removed to dispose of identifying tattoos, but here at The Morningstarr* we think it seems all too similar the Reservoir Dogs scene where a police officer is restrained in a chair with electrical tape and his ear cut off with a razor.
The animal is at a veterinary surgery in Morpeth and is making a good recovery.
