    STRAY dogs are being skewered on hooks and dragged behind boats as live shark bait, The Sun can shockingly reveal.

    The cruel practice takes place on French-controlled Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean, where Prince William spent two holidays.

    At first I laughed because I thought it was a joke. Then I got sick to my stomach.

    Something about that pic. Is it real? Is the news story true?

    Ps, why don't they train retrievers to swim after sharks and bring them back?

    Yes, Narkissos link takes you to an RSPCA petition. This is (sickeningly) legitimate, snopes verified and news sources have been covering it.
