A sickening act of animal cruelty which was caught on camera is being investigated by police.

Two men were seen baiting a fox with a dog on Anglesey earlier this week, before swinging it through the air and dragging it behind a car.

Rob Taylor, of the North Wales Police Rural Crime team, said he could not disclose the exact location of the incident due to the ongoing investigation, but said he had some “good leads” to catching those involved.

It is not known if the fox was killed in the incident.

Mr Taylor said: “A series of events have been reported to us on Anglesey with a fox and a dog.

“We don’t know if the fox is dead or alive, but footage can be seen of it being swung through the air.

“Some of the pictures also show a fox being tied to the bumper of one of the cars, and the dog can be seen chasing after it.

“At the moment, we do have some great leads.

“We are thankful to the public who supply images and footage which help us to investigate these crimes.”

Around 14 images and footage of the shocking incident were sent to rural crime officers, who say they do have the men’s vehicle registration number.
