The RSPCA are appealing for information after three dead puppies were found in a box, that had been set on fire, with pink poo bags tied over their heads in Hartlepool. A member of the public found a charred box in a field behind Ocean Road at around 8pm on Saturday (11 May). The puppies were discovered inside. Police were called, attended and collected the puppies before calling the RSPCA. Inspector TerriAnn Fannon, whos investigating, said This must have been an absolutely shocking thing to come across. The fire must not have caught the box properly, as it had burned out when it was found, and when the member of the public looked inside they discovered the puppies. The pups had pink poo bags tied around their tiny heads, suggesting that they were deliberately killed and set on fire to dispose of them. The puppies have been examined by a vet who believes they were healthy newborns just a day or two old. TerriAnn added They were too young for the vet to be able to identify their breed type but two of them were a light colour, cream or sandy these were both males and one was black a female If you have any specific information about who owned these puppies, or saw anything suspicious that might help this investigation, please call the RSPCA appeal line on 0300 123 8018 and ask to leave a message for TerriAnn
