Saw the following article on a website I frequent and my first reaction was that this was some sort of hoax:
DOGS USED AS SHARK BAIT
By IAN HEPBURN
STRAY dogs are being skewered on hooks and dragged behind boats as live shark bait, The Sun can shockingly reveal. The cruel practice takes place on French-controlled Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean, where Prince William spent two holidays. A six-month-old labrador pup was recently found ALIVE with a huge double hook through its snout - like the dog above - and another through a leg.
The pup was found in a coastal creek and is thought to have somehow freed itself from a fishing line. But other dogs and kittens have been chomped up and swallowed by sharks.The RSPCA plans to petition the French government, demanding an end to the hideous torture.
Sooo, I did a quick Google Search and came up with this:
RSPCA Official Site
Urban Legends Debunking Site - It's True!
Snopes
There are some SICK people out there but this has to be some of the worst crap I've seen in a long time.
