A cruel man has been jailed for brutally poisoning two heroic rescue dogs. The killer, identified as Benjamín 'N', is the first person in Mexico to be convicted for animal abuse charges after being found guilty of murdering dogs Athos and Tango.
The canines, who worked for the Red Cross team in Querétaro, died after eating poisoned sausages that were thrown into their handler's garden. Benjamín 'N' initially spent just 20 days in custody, but a renewed campaign over 12 months later has seen him be locked up for 10-and-a-half years.
