| Dogs used as shark bait | |

| Pic of dog at link. This is the Sun, could it be possibly an hoax? If that's true, that's really disgusting. STRAY dogs are being skewered on hooks and dragged behind boats as live shark bait, The Sun can shockingly reveal. The cruel practice takes place on French-controlled Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean, where Prince William spent two holidays. A six-month-old labrador pup was recently found ALIVE with a huge double hook through its snout - like the dog above - and another through a leg. The pup was found in a coastal creek and is thought to have somehow freed itself from a fishing line. But other dogs and kittens have been chomped up and swallowed by sharks. The RSPCA plans to petition the French government, demanding an end to the hideous torture.

| #11 In DuPage county there has been a scandal with the County Animal control officers going after Cats, calling them strays, leaving them in the pound for one night and then selling their bodies for high-school dissections. The chief control officer was just forced to resign over this. Crying kids cheer. link to a mild article on this For some reason the more descripted stories have been purged by the Chicago Tribune. Naperville Sun Notice that the pound only shows dogs on their site... Could be since they kill all the cats.. Sean Hannity discussing it. |

| #9 From another forum (a yahoo group, actually), and a guy who's living in La Réunion, this is true, relatively known there, and there is an outcry both official and from basic citizens against this. It's kinda a local tradition from unsavory fishers. According to this guy, whom I believe, why not?, he even fears one of his lost dogs might have finished like that. |

| #8 I don't buy this story. Putting a hook in a dog's mouth is a pretty sad way to catch a shark. YOu have to make sure the shark eats the entire dog. That's unlikely. It would be better to use a series of straps with hooks on them. I think this was either photoshoped, or a poor dog that got a hook in his mouth when he bit some shark bait or something and people developed a story around it. |
