Dogs And Cats Being Used As Sharkbait - In The Indian Ocean.

[ross]

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 to feed sharks.

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."

Ok, that's just an odd comment. How cruel is this though. Has anybody seen Lake Placid? Wth that huge croc and the lady on the farm put a live cow there and the croc ate it whole. It's just tremendous cruelty, thats what it is. They want to leave their name in history. They want to say "This is money for food and for your children" but it isn;t the right way to do it.

There's also a petition, so I suggest you sign it, they've got 5000 + petitioners at the moment, but they need more! Also look at the other stories on the RSPCA webiste.
