It’s about time the kind of scum that commit such horrific cruelty on innocent defenceless animals receive significant jail sentences as well as public shaming. Blatant cowards.

the poor thing what a cruel way to die, I don't know what is wrong with people, how you could actually do that to a dog over a long period of time? If you don't want the dog bring it the shelter where he'll be fed and looked after

My thoughts as well - never understood why people don’t just hand over pets they don’t want. It makes no sense unless I guess they are sick and enjoy watching them suffer or they are embarrassed.

Even if they're embarrassed they could leave it outside the gates anonymously

People who do this are just scum, heartless bastards and I really hope they haven't got or never have kids,this poor dog all he needed was food and shelter which would have been given to him by an animal shelter,I hope these dirtbags suffer a long and terrible death and if they are found,stop slapping them on the wrist and bannng them from having animals,anyone can pick one up,lock them up not for months,but years,just scumbaggy bastards.

Scum is the only word for people who do this Kazanne.
It really infuriates me.

I feel great today... consequently I don't want to read the article. It breaks my heart that people are so cruel to animals and I look forward to the day when these poor excuses for humans get the punishment they deserve.

I can't/won't read the article either, but I can gather what it is about from comments above.
Anybody that treats any living thing so cruelly should be locked up.

I hope animal welfare remains in the spotlight it reinforces the public resistance to any reduction in the level of protections currently afforded to ALL animals, not just cute fluffy ones.

I'm not going to open a link that depresses me, so I'm not sure what happened other than someone was cruel to an animal.

Animal cruelty comes in many forms, all is heinous, none is forgivable.
