I'd like to find the bastard who did this to a dog and do the same to him.
This is just mindless cruelty by an ignorant moron who should be found and locked up but not before I've kicked the slob two or three times in his balls.

Dog dragged from back of pickup truck
By Nathan Morley
‘We feel this event was so brutal and violent that action must be taken’)
AN AIR of silence is hindering efforts to prosecute a council worker who reportedly tied rope around the neck of an abandoned dog, then dragged it from the back of his truck through a village near Nicosia.
The ordeal, which left four-year-old Bruno fighting for his life, has outraged animal welfare campaigners, who are desperate for witnesses to come forward.
The unidentified man, who was sent to collect the dog by council officials, was seen attaching the yelping animal to his bumper, before speeding off with it in tow.
Horrified locals cried out to the man to stop the truck, but he ignored them and sped off, with the terrified dog running at speed to avoid strangulation.
A witness, who alerted police - found the dog some time later close to death, however despite other people seeing the ordeal, no one is prepared to testify in the close knit-community.
A veterinarian who examined the Bruno, an Irish wolfhound, said that the animal suffered severe abrasions and burns to all four legs, face, ears and to its abdomen and was in a severe state of shock.
Stella Stylianou from the Argos Charity, who is looking after Bruno, told the Sunday Mail she was incensed at the situation, saying that the circumstances would “sicken any civilised person”.
“We feel this event was so brutal and so violent that action must be taken,” she said.
It is understood that the man has made several verbal threats to some witnesses, scaring them into silence – and leaving Argos without a case.
Yesterday, Bruno was making a steady recovery and is out of any immediate danger.
Michael Saunders from BFAWS, a kennel on Dhekelia was equally outraged at the case and urged Argos to look at every avenue open to them to pursue a prosecution.
“As this is an allegation against a public official, that allegation could be taken to the Ministry of the Interior or the Attorney General. A thorough vets report would also give a good indication into how the injuries were likely to be caused,” he said.
BUT the council officials should know who he is......? unless they're part of the cover up as well.
