Horrible Act of Cruelty

Doogs I am saddened to say I heard aboutthis on our local radio this morning and it disgusts me to say this is my neck of the woods, although I no longer live in Worthing I still work there and I am ashamed to say it is so close to home.

I was physically sick this morning when I heard this and it has prayed on my mind all day. There is no imagination as to what this poor sweet dog went through and there is no punishment harsh enough to dish out to this sadistic person.

One thing I can say is that his car is very distinctive and in the Worthing area and that of Devils Dyke the driver will be known, it's one of those un written laws that everyone knows everyone in those kind of car clubs, so he will be outed by someone most certainly and I imagine he will be asking the law to protect him.......I hope they don't. He deserves what he gets.

My heart goes out to the sweet innocent little dog and his poor owners, god knows how they must be feeling.

I cannot for the life of me understand these sort of peoples minds. I fail to find words, to say what should happen to these sickos, that are printable It's a very sad world we live in at times, but fortunatly there are more good animal lovers, than bad.

"A man has been freed on police bail after a dog was dragged behind a Porsche in East and West Sussex for more than six miles before being dumped in a lay-by.


The 33-year-old was held on suspicion of animal cruelty after handing himself in to his local police station in Worthing, West Sussex, on Monday.

He has been released on police bail until December 14 following questioning on Tuesday, a Sussex Police spokesman said.

His arrest came after a witness spotted a black Porsche Carrera being driven with a dog tied to the back at Devil's Dyke beauty spot car park north of Brighton at 10pm on Sunday.

Half an hour later, the high-powered sports car was then seen on the A27 just past the Southwick Tunnel still dragging the dead dog along. It then pulled into a lay-by.

When officers from Sussex Police arrived, they found the dumped body of the dog, a beagle-collie cross, which they took to a local vet.

Pc Scott Walters, of Sussex Police, said the animal's injuries were "horrific", adding: "It has been distressing for everyone involved."

A forensic examination of the dog is likely to be conducted by the end of the week to confirm its cause of death.

Police appealed for anyone who witnessed the incident and who has not yet spoken to officers to call them on 101".

I am sure the local paper will cover this story this week Doogs so if there is any more information I will post it. The roads he chose to drive along are main roads so I am sure he was seen by other witnesess.

I have not been able to find this statement in the papers today but this morning on the local radio a statement was announced that Sussex police are confident this was a terrible accident. Aparantly the little dogs lead had been run over by the car and got caught, the driver was unaware what had happened. They are not treating the case as anything other than a very tragic accident.

If I see a report in the local paper I will post it but it may not be published . they may now want to let it be.

I suppose it's possible, and we cant judge without knowing all the facts, but you would have thought someone would have been able to attract the drivers attention. I can understand their reluctance to put a story out, if the Driver was totaly innocent, in case of somebody harming the Driver.
Thanks for checking LW

It is the most horrendous thing to have happened Lai Pai. Yesterday on the radio the Police are very satisfied it was a tragic accident, even though it does seem hard to believe but if I find any news on the story I will post it.
