Shark food

The RSPCA is shocked and appalled at the use of live dogs and cats as bait in shark fishing, reported recently on the island of Réunion in the Indian Ocean

It is understood that stray animals are rounded up by local fishermen for the purpose.
RSPCA International senior programme manager Paul Littlefair says: "This is one of the most brutal and distressing stories that we've come across. The use of a live animal in this illegal and barbaric way, involving the binding of its legs with wire and piercing of the muzzle with large hooks, is unjustifiably cruel.
"Given Réunion's status as a French overseas département, we strongly urge the French government to take immediate steps to enforce its animal protection legislation and end this horrific practice.
Members of the public should address their concerns to the French embassy to help put pressure on those in charge in order to bring this ghastly activity to an immediate halt."

This practise is cruel and barbaric. It should be stopped and the people involved punished if caught. Please do something!

I came across your page by accident and am now horrified by the thought a "human being" could possibly use a dog as shark bait. God bless you and those who fight such horrors!

I feel sick to my stomach at the thought of it.
Thank you,

Here in the USA we STILL have people breeding dogs for fighting and male chickens
for fighting. Sadism is alive and well all over the world. What a shame! I signed the petition.

Yes, I saw that page. In fact, its the first time Ive heard about it,
and it is heart breaking. I can not understand the cruelty people wish
to inflict on animals.
Here in Australia, in a popular magazine, an article was just published
which talked about a woman killing two venomous snakes by pouring
boiling hot water over them, and jabbing at them with a spade. I wrote
to the publishers expressing my outrage. They have agreed to publish
statements from the government about the fact that our snakes are
protected, and pouring boiling water on any animal is just inhumane.
I continue to try to save the native wild animals that people would
rather have killed. Yesterday, I saved three snakes, and two lizards,
and one bird. Today will be even busier... spring is definitely here.

Good thinking of you, to bring this under the attention!Dogs and cats....bait for sharkhunting, unbelieveable! What's next???

Keep up the good work!
