Dog thrown on Halloween bonfire in Tyrone
A dog was tied up and burned to death on a Halloween bonfire in Co Tyrone at the weekend, it was revealed today.

Sickened local residents tried to rescue the dog, but were beaten back by the flames.

The Ulster Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (USPCA) said the horrific incident happened in the Glebe area near Sion Mills, Co Tyrone at a Halloween celebration on Sunday night.

Mr Stephen Philpott, director of the USPCA, condemned the killing of the animal, but said such incidents were not isolated.

"In the course of our work, we come across some pretty blatant and mindless acts of cruelty against animals," he said. "Unfortunately at times like Halloween, when some sort of social responsibility gets diminished right across the board, people carry out these acts and think they are funny."

Firework attacks on swans and cats had also been reported, he said.

The PSNI said they were aware of the incident and would be investigating if an allegation of ill-treatment of the dog was made to them.

Bloody senseless cruelty beyond belief.
The only good point is the locals tried to get the dog off - very brave of them, with the fire burning that hot.#

Words cannot describe ....

sick poor poor dog, id like to throw the people who did this on the fire, see how they like it! grrrrr

You can't say that Gems no matter how angry they make you. Two wrongs don't make a right do they?
I am amazed at the lenghts some people will go to to be cruel.

2 wrongs do not make a right ??

Yer I agree Kazz.

So in my opinion

The ppl who threw the dog in the fire were wrong..

But Gems is right..

Problem solved...

lol ash! sorry kazz it was just a throw away comment.

Soz Gems I should have taken the comment as such. Did not mean to be critical. Soz

And yes Ash, Gems intention to give them a taste of their own medicine is one I am tempted to agree with, but sadly there are people who would actually follow it through.
I am not advocating standing by and watching an act of cruelty to either a person on an animal. I would try to stop it.
