A case of the collie wobbles
‘Dog box’ photo sparks Facebook 'cruelty' row – but rider has been ‘doing it for years’
A MOTORCYCLIST has been accused of 'cruelty’ over this picture released by Gloucestershire Police.
The photo sparked a Facebook row after it was posted on the page of BBC Radio Gloucestershire.
Angela Barnes commented: ‘Hope RSPCA do something about it. So cruel.’
And Alison Hall-Cambridge wrote: ‘About time he got done, very cruel.’
But other Facebook users defended the rider. Peter Nisbet wrote: ‘Nothing different from a couple of sheep dogs riding on the back of a farmer's quad bike. Dog looks health, happy and protected riding in his dog box.
'So cut out the hyperbole you bunch of whingers.'
Another user posted a picture apparently showing the same bike and dog in 2011, with the comment: ‘OK... so, the same motorbike, back in 2011, taken on Bath Road, Cheltenham. He's been doing it for years....’
Gloucestershire Police told the BBC: ‘We are making further inquiries in relation to the registered driver of the vehicle and whether he has broken the law in any way.’
What do you think? Is it cruel?
