An RSPCA spokesperson said: “We can confirm that a lurcher has been seized by police and placed under RSPCA care. A second dog, a Staffordshire bull terrier-cross, was also seized.
“Investigations are ongoing so we can’t give any more information at this time.
“We would also like to remind the public that we do not condone any sort of malicious communication or abusive behaviour online, or otherwise.”
