Headless dog found in ditch 'thought to have been deliberately decapitated'

THE “upsetting” and “distressing” discovery of a headless dog in an East Yorkshire ditch has prompted an investigation by the RSPCA.

- 

The animal welfare charity says the brown terrier or Staffordshire bull terrier-type dog is “thought to have been deliberately decapitated” and was found dumped last Saturday (May 10) by a member of the public in a rural area near Broomfleet at the junction of Common Road and Wallingfen Lane.

The decomposing remains were wrapped in a black plastic bag and left in shallow water.
