Came across this in facebook.
Saw pictures of it, so gore.
I don't dare to watch the video. (T_T)
These people are totally inhumane, stray or not, these dogs doesn't deserve this.
And by the way, hunting for sharks is just as cruel as well!
Damn these chinese people (in general? and yes I am a chinese but I don't eat sharkfin, so I'm good) use shark's fin in their soup,(the one who invented this dish is ought to be shot)
you know how these morons harvest their fins??
They catch them on boat, slash off its fin and dump the shark back into the sea.
Eventually the poor thing will bleed to death and die. Such cruelty....
Back to the poor doggies...
"Live and dead dogs and cats are being used as shark bait by amateur fishers on the French-controlled island of Réunion, according to animal-welfare organizations and local authorities.
The small volcanic island off Africa's east coast is bursting with stray dogs—upward of 150,000, says Reha Hutin, president of the Paris-based Fondation 30 Millions d'Amis (the Thirty Million Friends Foundation).
Hutin sent a film crew to Réunion this summer to obtain proof that live animals were being used as shark bait. The goal was to expose the practice on the animal rights group's weekly television show.
It didn't take long for the film crew to find three separate cases, she said.
A videotape and photographs show the dogs with multiple hooks sunk deep into their paws and snouts."
Innocent stray dogs are being skewered alive and being dragged behind boats as shark bait. Help us sign a letter to the French government to ask for an end to this inhumane practice in Reunion Island (French-controlled). We are asking the government to make sure this never happens again. You can WATCH THE VIDEO that shows the poor dog being rescued here.
Here's how you can help, sign the petition here.
It only takes a minute of your time to save them.
