Body of a dog found in a Pond

The RSPCA has started an investigation after the body of a Staffordshire bull terrier was found in a pond in Nottonghamshire. The female dog was put in a canvas laundry bag and weighted down with concrete in Worksop. The dog had horrific injuries to the head and had been dead seven or ten days. The dog was found by a group of children in Godfreys Pond in Sandy Lane on Sunday. A RSPCA inspector removed the body and took it to a vet after discovering the injuries. The dog had multiple serious wounds to the jaw and head where it was struck repeatedly with a heavy object, and it appears to have been caused deliberately. The dog suffered a lonely and painful death. People convicted of causing unnecessary suffering to animals could face a maximum six-month prison sentence and/or a £200,000 fine. It sickens me to read this curtly that is happening to animals in this day and age. Six months in prison or £200,000 fine is not enough.
