€1,000 reward for information on dog’s cruel death

A BRITISH animal protection charity is offering a €1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person, or persons, responsible for the cruel death of an 11-year- old family dog, outside Dingle, Co Kerry, last month.

The labrador’s mutilated carcass was discovered by its shocked owner and her 11-year-old son in the driveway of their home.

It is believed the dog, whom the family had previously rescued, was bludgeoned and stabbed to death before being disembowelled.
