	This is truly sickening Put an end to popups!

Puppy was treated as a football

Heartbroken animal rescue worker Linda Mercer hugs this tiny puppy just before it had to be put to sleep after being kicked around by a group of youths.

A man walking in Temple Park, in South Shields, rescued the animal after he saw the group throwing her around.

He took the six to eight-week-old Labrador cross to St Francis Animal Rescue, in South Shields.

Vets found out she had suffered brain damage and been blinded and decided it was kindest to put her down.

The man took the puppy home where it kept falling over and would not eat and so on Monday he took her to St Francis Animal Rescue.

The puppy, who was called Maddy by animal rescue workers, was put on a drip and given injections but then started having fits every 10 minutes and vets advised the kindest thing would be to put her down.

'Learn lesson'

Ms Mercer, who has worked with St Francis Animal Rescue for 15 years, said she had been devastated by the incident.

She said: "It was the most dreadful thing I have seen in all my rescue time, and I have seen some terrible things.

"This was a tiny baby that hadn't even had a life. It will stay with me for a long time.

"I want people to see what has been done. I would like to think someone will learn a lesson from this."

St Francis Animal Rescue was set up around 25 years ago and cares for homeless animals and helps people in the community by offering a neutering service, to reduce the number of unwanted animals.

It is run by volunteers and relies on donations.

They're *******s, and deserve to be punished. Anything more than that, is just increasing the damage.

I would say, their aggressive genes should be taken out of the pool, if not by killing them, at least by letting the puppy bite their balls off. Shame it did not survive to do this noble duty. But then, I have been taught, that cruelty is a bad thing and revenge leads nowhere, so I better keep my mouth shut on this matter.

Yeah. I don't have a rational reaction to this. My irrational reaction is to agree with Whaleboy (shoot zem!). I have a dog. A labrador, in fact. I love dogs. I really love puppies.

It'd probably be reducing it considering the high likelyhood of them moving on to humans.

Putting their balls in a vice would suffice.

1) Remove them from the gene pool
2) Reduce their testosterone

No, not really, Dinodoc... I am sure that there is another way of doing that, unless they're psychopaths, and then I may consider putting them down a viable alternative...

I'm not having a rational reaction, otherwise I'd be all peace, love and rehabilitation. I want them to suffer, badly.

That's ok, just don't follow through, since then you'll be as bad as they are. revenge is hardly any better than simple cruelty.

I love dogs. I have a dog too. Doesn't mean you have to stop using your brain.
