Anyone with information is being asked to call the SPCA hotline @ 215-426-6300. Authorities suspect whoever did this was trying to send a sadistic message - not …

A 24-YEAR-OLD man is being interviewed by animal cruelty officers following an online video which showed a dog being repeatedly kicked.

The man, reported to be Arthur Kent from Welling, handed himself in at Bexleyheath police station on October 23 where he was arrested, interviewed and released without charge. A spokeswoman for animal cruelty charity the RSPCA, which has seized the dog, confirmed it was now interviewing someone in connection with the incident. ht…

It takes a lot to surprise an RSPCA inspector but finding eight huskies who need new homes is not an everyday occurrence. When their owner in Barnsley became seriously ill, the RSPCA stepped in to look after the dogs. The Barnsley centre could not take them all so local colleagues around the patch stepped in to help. Four of the huskies were kept together and were taken to the RSPCA in Chesterfield. The arrival of four-year-old Sasha, Rio who is 18 months old, two-and-a-half year old Samson and Alaska the puppy meant the branch now had five huskies in its kennels. Two-year-old Rebel had arrived just a couple of we…

I know I post lots of these, sorry, but for once the guy was punished -------- Farmington, N.M. - The man's crime was unspeakable, unimaginable, unheard of. Teddy Sexton, 32, of Aztec, NM, cut off his dog's head with a chainsaw on September 18. Sexton claims that he beheaded his dog, a Pit bull named Thor, after the dog allegedly bit a 9 year old child. Sexton claims that he initially attempted to slice Thor's throat, but it did not work. He claims to have resorted to the chainsaw because he is not allowed to carry a gun - he lost rights to own a gun due to his prior criminal history. In New Mexico, extreme cruelty to animals carries an 18-…

Old-time journalists were fond of saying it's not news when a dog bites a man, but when a man bites a dog, you've got a headline. Well ... Roderick Lewis did three odd things yesterday. First, he tried to reach into a police officer's waist band. Then he punched the officer in the face. Just so happens the officer had his police dog with him. The dog bites Lewis, and, well, you can guess what's coming. "Lewis did his own chomping, biting into the dog's side, police said. Lewis didn't let go until the officer had to physically pull him off the dog," according to a local NBC affiliate in Connecticut. Science tells us that if he b…

3 dogs die in Tennessee house fire, firefighters refuse to help The consequences for failing to pay a $75 fire protection fee proved deadly to a Tennessee family's pets. The couple forgot to pay the mandatory fee, the fire department refused to help, and as a result, their house burned to the ground, killing all of their pets and destroying all of their belongings. Although the family pleaded with the firefighters they'd pay whatever was necessary to have them extinguish the flames, their request was refused. In the area outside of the city limits of South Fulton, residents are required to pay the $75 fire protection fee if they want to receive…

Woolwich, London - Cowardly dog abusers frequently dole out their cruelty behind close doors - away from judgemental eyes. One dog abuser made the mistake of getting caught in his abusive ways, and now theRSPCA is asking the public for their help in identifying the man. On October 1, a man was videotaped repeatedly kicking his small dog at Knee Hill Park, near Woolrich in South East London. A passerby caught the kicking on tape and recently posted the video on YouTube. Now, the RSPCA is hoping that someone will recognize the man, and the small, tan dog. The man appears to be in his late teens, to early twenties and possesses a thin build. He was wear…
