    What's wrong with people

    RSPCA inspectors say the case of a dog tied to railings, then doused in petrol and set alight before being left to die is "as bad as it gets".

    The one-year-old bull terrier was tethered to a railing on a sport pitch in Kirkdale, Liverpool, before being burned.

    People nearby heard the animal's howling and ran to help, but she could not be saved.

    The dog was microchipped, which allowed the RSPCA to track down the owners who told them the dog had been missing for several days.

    RSPCA Chief Inspector Simon Small said: "The fact that someone could do this to a living creature is beyond comprehension

    "It doesn't get worse than what happened here.

    "This dog suffered tremendously before she died. This was a deliberate act of extreme cruelty of the type I hope I never see again."

    Officers have now released an image of the dog after the attack in the hope of encouraging people to come forward with information.

    :: Anyone who can help is urged to call the RSPCA on 0300 1234 999.

    Re: What's wrong with people

    Very very upsetting indeed, brought tears to my eyes reading that, and as a person who loves her pets, I just can't comprehend this, humans are capable of unspeakable things and harming innocent animals is on a par with harming children imho. Sends chills down my spine that they these people could be parents themselves, I dread to think how they may treat their own....

    Re: What's wrong with people

    To be honest, while I find this abhorrent, this type of behaviour no longer shocks or surprises me. I guess that's a sad reflection of the "society" we live in.

    Re: What's wrong with people

    I'm not especially a dog person, not a dog owner and my next-door neighbours dogs drive me absolutely potty with constant yapping all flaming day long (when left alone). There are times when I feel I could cheerful strangle those dogs (or their owners) .... and even I simply can't comprehend why someone would do something like this. It is so totally, utterly unnecessary and gratuitously cruel that I can only conclude that a fit punishment for the perpetrators would be to follow the "eye for an eye" principle in their punishment (if they're ever caught).

    Bonfire, anyone?
