A dead dog wrapped in recycling bags was found dumped on the side of a road in a sickening incident. Animal welfare officers are investigating the incident after the dog, described as a two-year-old American Bully type, was found in Swansea, on Monday, April 10.
A member of the public found the dog on the B489 near Llangyfelachand and reported it to the Animal Welfare Investigations Project. The private team of investigators are "dedicated to exposing serious and organised animal cruelty" and gather information on animal cruelty to submit it to police, local authorities and other statutory agencies.
AWIP confirmed no CCTV footage was available and "no reasonable lines of enquiry have been revealed," and is now encouraging anyone with first-hand information about the circumstances of the dog's death and the disposal of its body to come forward.
