ITS FUCKED!!!!!!!!!
HARDENED police officers have been shocked by the horrifying torture, mutilation and brutal slaying of a seven-month-old fox terrier dog at Moranbah.
Police have obtained video footage from a mobile phone that shows graphic images of the puppy yelping and howling in terrible pain as it is hacked to pieces.
Animal rights experts have described the case as one of the worst and most horrific in Australian history. Police will allege that a pair of garden shears and a pocket knife were used to torture and kill the little puppy.
Moranbah police said the dog was a family pet and the owners were too distressed and upset to talk to anyone about it.
The dog's nose was cut off, its front right leg and rear left leg were cut off and it was decapitated.
Its stomach was cut open from neck to tail.
Police will say the dog was stolen from a residence in Railway Parade in Moranbah and was taken to a lookout in the town.
Congealed blood and dog hairs were found on picnic tables at the lookout.
A three-part video series on a mobile phone shows the dog being tortured.
The final stages of the video show the dog's mutilated body parts.
The dog's body was found about 3.50am on Monday near the town's campdraft ground. It was dumped beside a road.
It is believed a car crashed into a fence at the campdraft ground and police were checking if anyone was injured when they discovered the dog's body.
After seizing the mobile phone, police recovered a set of garden shears which had dog hair and blood on them.
Police also took possession of the clothes worn by two men in the car, for scientific testing.
''Senior police officers were visibly shaken after viewing the footage. Police and the RSPCA say that if the allegations are true this could well be the worst case of animal cruelty ever brought before the courts in Australia,'' RSPCA's Queensland Chief Inspector Michael Pecic said.
''This is very, very disturbing,'' Mr Pecic said.
''For legal reasons this is really all I can say at the moment. But when you talk to senior police officers who have seen a lot of carnage in their time and they say it shocked even them, then you begin to get the picture.''
Footage from the attack has been suppressed by police until the outcome of the court case.
The maximum penalty under the Animal Care and Protection Act for such an offence is $75,000 or two years in jail; however, the maximum penalty ever handed out has been a four-month jail term.
Two men, aged 20 and 24, were charged in the Mackay Magistrate's Court with stealing a dog, wilfully and unlawfully killing it, wilfully damaging a gate, and unlawful possession of marijuana, all at Moranbah on Monday.
No pleas were entered and both men were remanded in custody until today.
i couldn't even read past the first couple of paragraphs. i'm better off not knowing what happened.
Fucking worthless pieces of fucking shit.
They deserve the death penalty. And yes, I'm serious.
stopped reading after the third par.
That's Pretty much fucked on every level
ugh. this belongs in the people are fucked thread.
They need to update.....two guys in Queanbeyan were yesterday each given 10 month sentences for doing much the same thing to a ferret.
What would they get if they did this to a small child? I think the same penalty should apply here.
that is awful ...
i agree.
They need two years I think.
...although they'd probably get out with some new skills and try their handiwork on a person next.
What if it was a little sheep, calf, pig or chicken, and they'd eaten the remains?
That would be a food violation, carrying a $600 fine!
So do I. It's funny what society does and doesn't condone.
Nonetheless, this is absolutely fucking awful.
Animal cruelty punishments are never, ever harsh enough. If someone can do this to a defenceless creature they are not fit to be a part of society and we should be protected from them.
Give them a good ten years in the slammer to think about it.
I was biting my tongue for that one, trans.
Yeah, sorry, I know the point was the dog was stolen and a beloved family pet and all that, and that really does make them psychopaths...
I don't want my dinner tortured before I eat it.
for those of you who are in Sydney, and seems like you people who commented on this thread are against animal cruelty.
maybe you should come along to the Cruelty Free Festival this sunday at Belmore park.
Cruelty Free Festival
Hahah, someone has to be the dickhead.
I know It's counterproductive to rub my ethical beliefs in other people's faces, and I don't think it really needs to be reopened for discussion..Tongue biting's unfortunately not my forte..
I just thought it would be good to tell people about the festival. It might educate some people that don't know, or chose not to.
So, if you're not a vegetarian, you have no right to say anything because buying a steak from the supermarket is condoning the slaughter of cows which is just the same as stealing a puppy, torturing it, chopping it up, killing it, filming it all and dumping the body?

oh sorry barman,
Is this better?
god made Cows enjoy becoming dinner for humans and in producing milk for humans, that's why their teets fit perfectly in human hands and how perfectly a bucket sits under their udders.
just like a banana
there's no god, wipey.
what are you now, a creationist???
sar
cas
MMMMMMMMMMMM
ugh, that made me sick. i've never actually been sickened by some article on the internet until this
What if these boys/men had themsleves been subject to cruelty no one here could imagine? Would that make a difference to anyone's opinion? I'm guessing these guys are from some fucked up settlement. Might run a bit deeper than first impressions.....
maybe they were on meth
You know what, I couldn't give a flying fuck. I don't care how awful your life is, it's NEVER justification for such fucking horrendous treatment of another life.
That's very speculative but what if they were? Let them off?
I'm with you PG.
People felt sorry for Anita Cobby's killers too.
well said paulyg.
It's really easy to be outraged- but it get's you nowhere other than the opinion page of the Herald Sun. I reckon it's a lot harder to try and stop this sorta shit if people don't wanna face what might have lead up to it. If anything, hey maybe they are sadisitc cunts off their own bat after all.
Like I said- you can throw then in jail but our wonderful justice system will work it's magic on them, and they'll be killers or killed within 5 years.
Sorry, I was waiting for someone to defend pedophiles too.
Just cutting through the hysteria and also throwing some cats amongst pigeons.
Don't mind me, I feel like a punch on today.......
Don't be cruel to the cats. And is that a humane way to dispose of pigeons??
Don't be cruel to the cats. And is that a humane way to dispose of pigeons??
But what about what lead me to throw that cat in the first place?
ay?
AY?
