WEEKLY GROSS-OUT: Animal cruelty

A Christchurch man is facing an animal cruelty charge after allegedly feeding his dog a "cocktail" of chicken and insecticide to put it down. SPCA Canterbury manager Geoff Sutton said the 62-year-old man decided to put down the german shepherd, which he had owned for about six years, after it bit his grandson. Sutton said it was alleged the man fed the fatal chicken and insecticide meal, which the dog did not finish, on June 24. That bellend did a horrible thing and if found guilty, he should be put behind bars for it. I wouldn't feed that to my own pets or anyone else's. This is just wrong.
