Curtidos agentes de policía se han conmocionado por las horrorosas torturas, mutilaciones y finalmente brutal asesinato que sufrió un cachorro de fox terrier de siete meses en Morabah. La policía ha obtenido imágenes de video en un celular que muestra gráficas tomas del cachorro ladrando y aullando de dolor mientras era cortado en pedazos. Expertos en derechos animales han descrito el caso como uno de los peores y más horrorosos en la historia de Australia. La policía sostiene que para la tortura y muerte del cachorro sus autores usaron un par de tijeras de jardín y una navaja. La policía de Moranbah declaró que el perro era una mascota y los dueños se sentían demasiado abatidos y alterados como para hablar con alguien sobre el caso. Al perro le cortaron la nariz, su pata delantera derecha y una pata trasera y finalmente fue decapitado. Le abrieron el estómago desde el cuello al rabo.La policía dijo que el perro fue robado de una residencia en Railway Parade en Moranbah y llevado hasta un mirador de la ciudad. En las mesas de picnic se encontró sangre coagulada y pelos de perro. Una serie de tres videos en un celular deja ver al cachorro siendo torturado. Las tomas finales del video muestran las partes mutiladas del perro.El cuerpo del perro fue encontrado a eso de las diez menos cuatro de la mañana del lunes cerca del terreno de un campamento. Había sido arrojado junto al camino.Se cree que un coche se estrelló contra una valla del campamento y la policía estaba identificando a los heridos cuando descubrieron el cuerpo del perro.Después de incautar el celular, la policía recuperó unas tijeras de jardín manchadas con sangre y con pelos de perro. La policía también requisó la ropa de dos hombres que estaban en un coche, para someterla a su análisis científico.“Los agentes de policía estaban visiblemente impresionados después de ver los videos. La policía y RSPCA dicen que de confirmarse las acusaciones este podría ser el peor caso de crueldad animal en la historia judicial de Australia”, dijo el Inspector Jefe Michael Pecic, de Queensland.“Esto es muy, muy inquietante”, dijo Pecic.“Por razones legales, esto es todo lo que puedo decir de momento. Pero cuando hablas con agentes experimentados que han visto un montón de sangre en su trabajo y dicen que a ellos también les impresionó, entonces te empiezas a dar cuenta de la magnitud del caso”.Los videos del ataques han sido requisados por la policía a la espera del resultado del caso judicial. La pena máxima en la Ley de Protección y Bienestar Animal para semejante delito es de 75 mil dólares o dos años de cárcel; sin embargo, la pena más alta dictada ha sido sólo de cuatro meses de cárcel. Dos hombres, de veinte y veinticuatro años, fueron acusados en el Juzgado de Mackay de robar un perro, matarlo deliberada e ilegalmente, dañar deliberadamente una puerta, y por la posesión ilegal de marihuana, el lunes en Moranbah. No se presentaron recursos y los dos hombres permanecerían en bajo custodia hasta hoy. Otro amigo de los animales me ha contado que el cachorrito trató de escapar con sus muñones ensangrentados y alejarse de los tipos que finalmente lo mataron.

Horrifying dog torture video shocks police

Hardened police officers have been shocked by the horrifying torture, mutilation and brutal slaying of a seven-month-old fox terrier puppy near Mackay at the weekend.
Two men, charged with the brutal killing, entered no pleas when they fronted a Mackay court yesterday.
They are due in court again today.
If found guilty, they could face up to two years in prison.
The incident is alleged to have happened in the mining community of Moranbah, west of the central Queensland city.
Police have obtained video footage from a mobile phone which shows graphic images of the puppy yelping and howling in terrible pain as it hacked to pieces.
Animal rights experts have described the case as one of the worst and most horrific in Australian history.
Police will allege that a pair of garden shears and a pocket knife were used to torture and kill the little puppy.
Moranbah police said the dog was a family pet.
They said the owners were too distressed to talk to anyone about it.
The dog’s nose was cut off, its front right leg and rear left leg were cut off and it was decapitated.
Police will say the dog was stolen from a residence in Railway Parade in Moranbah and was taken to a lookout in the town.
Congealed blood and dog hairs were found on picnic tables at the lookout.
A three-part video series on a mobile phone shows the dog being tortured.
The final stages of the video show the dog’s mutilated body parts.
The dog’s body was found about 3.50am on Monday near the town’s campdraft ground.
It was dumped beside a road.
It is believed that a car crashed into a fence at the campdraft grounds and police were checking if anyone was injured when they discovered the dog’s body.
After seizing the mobile phone, police recovered a set of garden shears which had dog hair and blood on them.
Police also took possession of the clothes worn by two men in the car, for scientific testing.
"Senior police officers were visibly shaken after viewing the footage. Police and the RSPCA say that if the allegations are true, this could well be the worst case of animal cruelty ever brought before the courts in Australia," RSPCA’s Queensland Chief Inspector Michael Pecic said.
"This is very, very disturbing," Mr Pecic said.
"For legal reasons this is really all I can say at the moment. But when you talk to senior police officers who have seen a lot of carnage in their time and they say it shocked even them, then you begin to get the picture."
Footage from the attack has been suppressed by police until the outcome of the court case.
The maximum penalty under the Animal Care and Protection Act for such an offence is $75,000 or two years in jail; however the maximum penalty ever handed out has been a four month jail term.
Recent incidences of senseless animal cruelty have staggered even the RSPCA, with cases increasing in prevalence and severity.
The two men, aged 20 and 24 were charged in the Mackay Magistrate’s Court with stealing a dog, wilfully and unlawfully killing it, wilfully damaging a gate, and unlawful possession of marijuana, all at Moranbah on Monday.
