Cruel man freezes his pet dog to death in Russia

A cruel dog owner deliberately froze his loyal pet to death by pouring cold water over the animal and putting it outside in the minus 32C cold in Russia.
Neighbors alerted activists who reached the whimpering animal while it was still alive, but encased in ice, in its outdoor kennel in Yakutsk, the coldest city in the world.



The animal activist volunteers in Yakutsk - the coldest city in the world - managed to free the poor animal and rush it to the vet, but despite frantic efforts he was unable to save the one year old,The Siberian Times reports.

He put the dog down to end her agony.
A female volunteer said:

 'The eyes, I will never forget them. Did you ever see a man who wanted to live but who was already dying?
'The dog had exactly the same eyes, understanding everything, just unable to explain.'

The activists have demanded action against the unnamed man, with a petition signed by 10,000 people.

'It's one thing is when your dog dies, but this man has many children,' said a volunteer.
'Today he lets his dog die next to his house, and tomorrow the same may happen to his children.'

The activists are also complaining about alleged police inaction over the case, and a policy of the local mayor to clean up city by exterminating strays.

Now an MP in Moscow, Sergey Boyarsky, has taken up the case calling for a prosecution of the owner.
