This was taken from a nother forum I visit quite regularly, but very appropriate for this forum:
Weighted down dog found dead in river
The RSPCA is investigating after a cocker spaniel was found dead in a river with a 10kg dumb bell attached to its neck.
The tan coloured bitch was discovered in the water by people walking their dogs by the River Test at Nursling, Southampton, Hants, last Sunday.
A post mortem examination is due to take place to see if the the dog drowned or it was already dead before the weight was attached and the animal thrown in the river as a sick joke.
RSPCA inspector Alan Barnes said: "We are awaiting the results of the post mortem but the circumstances around this find appear to be suspicious.
"If this dog has died through drowning, then it would have suffered an horrific death and it is deeply upsetting that someone may have committed such a cruel act.
"We urge anyone who might know something to get in touch with us as soon as possible."
The RSPCA can be contacted on 0870 555 5999.

That's absolutely terrible and disgusting >:( :(
-
Awww how sad, :( i read about one in the sunday
papers a couple of weeks ago,.... about an old
Spaniel about twelve, that had been dumped and left
for dead in a skip. :'( :'( How cruel and how wicked. :'(
-
some people ought to be SHOT >:(
This is so sad :'(
-
Hmm... Story like that really makes me mad >:( Why are people so cruel!!! I hope they get caught and put in prison!!! >:(
-
:'( How can people be so cruel? That is just horrible. >:(
-
:'( :'( :'(
I used to work for the RSPCA - I hated getting calls like this >:( :'( - luckily for every horrid call I took there was usually someone else ringing up to rehome a lucky pet :)

But with bonfire night not far away, were going to hear
some more very sad stories. :( :'(
-

And another RSPCA worker here too !!!! Voluntary many years ago !!!

Its very very sad. Have just caught the story to this on Sky news, lets hope that someone comes forward to identify the *@$£&%D$ that did it!!!!!

I read this story on the net yesterday and it was very upsetting. Apparently the area is covered by CCTV so hopefully they will catch the b******* who did this.
-
my hubby said hes willing to be punisher for these people that are caught treating animals like this.... nothing makes me or him more angry than hurting kids or animals...they love unconditionally and dont deserve it...leave the B******s in a room with hubby ...oooooh pleeeeease ...alternatively me and sam could do a good job aswell.. *wink without a smile* sorry there isn't a smiley that does that... and this subject doesn't actually bring a smile does it
-
I heard this on the morning news. Just when you think you have heard the worst people can do, someone like this comes along and proves you wrong. I wonder what this sort of person does in their day to day lives - how do they live with themselves after doing something like that. >:(

It seems she was pregnant as well. On the other forum there's the pic taken from the Sun (and good on the Sun, even though I thought I'd never say that, but they've also got a hotline for someone to grass up whoever did it):

Just seen the awful pic in the D Mail of that poor cocker spaniel and came on here to try and get rid of my horror by sharing that complete non understanding of any human being who could do that to a pregnant dog. I am completely overwhelmed by this picture. Roy

oh my I shouldn't have looked... now I cant stop :'(
-
I am absolutely shocked and appalled. WHY????? :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
Iv,e just had a look at the sun in asda, we dont
bye it and never will. That poor baby :'( :'( :'( i,m
heartbroken, :'( how wicked and evil,!!! :o :'(
And what she must have gone through. :( What sort
of life did that poor little baby have.!!! I cant get that
picture out of my head. :'( :'( :'(
-
I knew nothing about this until my husband came home last night and ignored all of us and went straight to Rigsby and gave him a big hug. He was very distressed after seeing the picture in the Evening Standard - I've just looked and wish I hadn't - the poor, poor baby :'( It beggars belief that in a so called civilised society there are people who could do this.
After all the publicity I hope they are caught and named and shamed.
-
I saw this story and the picture in last night's Evening Standard. It's given as a freebie on the GNER trains heading north. I was just about to eat and opened the page to a very large picture of the poor girl. It was one of the most sickening pictures I have ever seen. I don't have the words to describe what should be done to the guilty one/s. But putting them in a large arena filled with the dog lovers who are all equally sickened by their actions would probably be a good start.
I hope it haunts them every day and night from now on.

oh my god .. my hubby has just come home from work and he had the paper , i did not want to look at the picture but i did , and i am still crying as i write this ,, i have just had a group hug with my 3 babies , and pray to god that the evil person who did this gets what is coming to them, i can not express my anger in words that can be printed , so i have said them out loud. :'( :'( :'(
shaz. :'(
-
I've seen the photos of that poor girl and really wish I hadn't - I can't get them out of my head.
What I would like to do to the person responsible is not publishable. If the owner is responsible, why on earth did they not simply hand her in to a rescue? Cockers are so easy to rehome, as are cocker x pups. The human race never fails to disappoint me :'(
-
I too wish I hadn`t looked :(
That poor little girl and her unborn babies :'( Why oh Why are people soo cruel? I can`t stop thinking about that picture...................................................................................
Tracey :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
My son bought the Daily Mail to me this morning with a look of sheer horror on his face. :'(
I can't actually put into words the way I feel about the people who have done this and I can't accurately describe the feeling I have in the pit of my stomach, for that poor dog and what she must have gone through :'( :'( :'(
We have all been giving Alfie extra hugs today.
-
Just read this and saw the picture and promptly burst into tears. :'( The poor, poor baby. I have nothing but hate for the sick person who did this. I hope their life is nothing but misery from now on.
-
:( Just seen todays paper and they are saying that she hasnt died from drowning !!! >:( Apparently she was already dead when they put her in the river !!! :'( And true to form the CCTV cameras are too blurry for them to see anything that could help !!!!! It really annoys me that these people have security cameras, but they never seem to help when needed !!!! What is the point of having them there in the first place ! ??? I wa so hoping that today they would have said that they had seen the B****** on the camera and that they had got them !!! >:(
-
Of course, even if they did find out who it was, the system seems to be so lenient with animal cruelty cases that the punishment probably wouldn't deter them from doing anything else. >:( >:(
-
No sheryl it is true !! But we can hope that the person who did this will be splashed on the front of our papers (If they catch them )! And they will then have the wrath of the public to face !!!!
Just wished they lived next door to me cause theyd soon wanna move !!!! >:(
-
If they did find them, I can tie one leg to my car and you tie one to yours and then head North, I'll go South. Nah, too quick :(
-
Just wished they lived next door to me cause theyd soon wanna move !!!! >:(
If they lived next door to me they wouldnt move, ever again >:(

Well, I sincerely hope that if anyone knows who did this(and lets face it, someone must) then they come forward or they are no better than them in my book. I wouldn't care if it was a friend of a friend of a friend or my own brother - if I knew they were responsible for something so despicable, I'd be right down the police station.....after I'd given them a hiding, that is. ;)
