Cruel pet owners have been ditching animals at a remote dump site - creating an illegal pet cemetery. A concerned Port Underwood resident has discovered a dead dog with a gunshot wound as well as a cage of abandoned guinea pigs. The woman, who asked not to be named for fear of reprisal, says the area has an “ongoing” illegal dumping problem. Alongside children’s toys and household rubbish, what should be beloved family pets are being discarded, she says. “It’s quite ghastly. “It’s obviously a bach owner – they’ve just done a house up. “There’s gib and wood panelling, but also pig skins and carcasses. “Green waste is no biggy, but appliances, the big stuff, it’s costing us an arm and a leg.” The dog was discovered last week amongst gib and other debris down a cliff from a skid site along the windy Port Underwood Road. This follows the finding of a cage of black guinea pigs, some dead and some alive, found nearby a week earlier. Police and the council have been contacted but claim there is nothing they can do.
