Owner cuts off dog's front legs

Quote:Turkey tried to join the EU some years ago, but fortunately the bizarre behaviour of its president stopped that even being considered. Turkey is quite unworthy of ever joining the EU if it allows cruelty like this.

You were wise not to look at the pictures. Some are so bad they were blurred to hide them, but there are some that show the damage.
It was a brutal act and a country that would allow this does not belong in the EU.  The EU  has done a lot for animals. No EU country would let  someone get away with such horrible actions against an animal. Even the neighbour who broke the dog's feet would be charged.

It says a lot about a country that it allows that level of animal cruelty. It is a very high amputation and it leaves the dog in serious shape. 
Why didn't he just kill the dog. If it hadn't been rescued, the dog would have died slowly and painfully. The dog might still die and his quality of life is seriously compromised.
