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.

A six-month-old labrador pup was recently found ALIVE with a huge double hook through its snout - like the dog above - and another through a leg.

The pup was found in a coastal creek and is thought to have somehow freed itself from a fishing line.

But other dogs and kittens have been chomped up and swallowed by sharks.

The RSPCA plans to petition the French government, demanding an end to the hideous torture.

It's ok, Dravyk. It freaked everybody who saw it for the first time. Led to some good discussion, too.

It didn't freak me, I'm neither here nor there regarding dogs and I couldn't be arsed with anything French at that time.

Now... now is different, not that I'm freaked but more surprised that the French did something nasty that didn't involve anything nuclear. Big surprise.
