Scotland's Secret Shame: Outrageous Acts of Animal Cruelty

The picture is so shocking and disturbing, that I won't repost it on this blog.

The picture I speak of is a dog from Scotland, tied to a fence and deliberately starved to death.

Some monstrous sicko tied an innocent dog to a barbed wire fence in the middle of the Scottish woodlands and left her there to die. The dog was found last month, tragically emaciated and in early stages of decomposure. Later examination from the Scottish SPCA showed he dog attempted to remain nourished by eating wood and soil near its death spot.

But this isn't the only case of animal cruelty in Scotland. According the SPCA, 126,000 emergency callouts were made to help victimized animals in 2008 alone, a 20% increase from 2007.

The Scottish Sun has launched a campaign to fight the perpetrators of such horrific violence after their published picture of the dead dog inspired global outrage.
