A 47-year-old man from Sadu was released after being detained for allegedly shocking animal cruelty, after he reportedly put a dog in a sack and threw it into a river. The incident happened after a citizen called 112 when the puppy was discovered. Animal Police detained the man Sunday morning and investigated the suspected offence. According to the case facts, on Saturday the suspect placed the puppy in a sack, tied it with wire, and threw it from a bridge in Sadu. He was arrested for 24 hours, but prosecutors ordered that he be studied in freedom. He left the detention centre and went home. The dog is now in the care of an animal protection association, and it was rescued in time. The investigation remains ongoing under the prosecutors’ decision to let him remain at liberty.
