A DOG has been found with his ears cut off and covered in blood in Bedlington.
The male black greyhound was found by a member of the public on Monday, April 20, lying down on a grass verge on Bank Top, Bedlington.
He was covered in blood and had had both ears entirely removed.
He also had pieces of black electrical tape stuck to his legs and on his back.

The member of the public took the dog, which was not microchipped or wearing a collar, to Robson & Prescott Veterinary Centre in Morpeth before contacting the RSPCA.

The dog is currently recovering at the vet surgery and receiving the vital treatment he needs.

Now the RSPCA is urging anyone who knows who the dog once belonged to, or who may have seen or heard anything suspicious, to get in touch as soon as possible.

RSPCA inspector Ian Smith said: "This is an horrific and sickening act of cruelty.

"It is clear this dog's ears have been removed by a
sharp implement, which must have caused him unimaginable pain and distress.

"Thankfully he was rescued early and taken to safety, else he easily could have died.

"We just hope someone will now come forward with vital information to help us discover what happened.

"If anyone was in the area at the time and saw or heard anything suspicious, or if anyone knows who this dog may once have belonged to, we would urge them to contact us as soon as possible."

If anyone has any information they should contact the RSPCA National Cruelty and Advice Line on 0300 123 4999 and ask to leave a message for inspector Ian Smith

I adopted a greyhound in dec 2007. She had been beaten and burnt and left for dead in a woods in ireland. She was only 2yrs 6mths. Apparently she had no interest in racing. She has taken a good yr to come out of her self but is doing well..I have never seen a dog love their owner as much as i love her...they are wonderful PETS!!! Please anybody out there adopt a greyhound and give them a loving home...you will not be disappointed in the love and companionship they give back!!! x x

They say what goes around comes around so the sickening b*****d who did this to this poor animal has a lot of grief to go through in their life. I can't stop crying after watching this, how can anyone be so cruel.

What a great cruelty, my God, they will have to be so miserable, and some bloody @ s, poor dogs, :(((( be good if we give them even half of what they give us. Suerte Amigo I hope you will be rewarded as cruel act, and that the degenerate you did that, as you deserve to pay according to their deeds.

What happened to this poor creature is horrifying. Even more terrifying is that the person who did this walks the streets among us.

justice will prevail!

[rockinfortheplanet]

A heinous crime, as with so many crimes against Greyhounds no longer of use to the racing industry. This must be outlawed by the government. Not enough is being done to prevent cruelty to these wonderful dogs. The only way to protect them is to ban the exploitation of this breed from every angle.
