Newzealand : Sunday, 24 October 2010
A kitten with its head torn off, a pupy thrown across a busy road, seals bludeoned to death, a cat shot five times with an air rifle.
These are just a handful of horrific cases of animal abuse on the SPCA’s annual List of Shame.
The list, provided exclusively to the New Zealand Herald on Sunday, contains the 46 worst cases of animal cruelty, neglect and torture over the last year.
SPCA chief executive Robyn Kippenberge said the list was disturbing and shocking and was only the “tip of the iceberg”
“The young boys using the puppy as a basketball in South Auckland stands out as particularly vicious and sinister,” she said.
“The most disturbing thing is when young people, especially young men, are concerned. We know the likelihood is very high that they will use the same sort of violence against people.”
