WARNING – GRAPHIC CONTENT: The horrific discovery was made in Rotherham, south Yorkshire, by a member of the public and now the animal welfare society have made a plea for information

The RSPCA want help to hunt down a callous killer who skinned two dogs and hung them from trees in the woods.

An investigation is underway after a member of the public made the harrowing discovery in Rotherham, south Yorkshire, on Thursday.

So bad was the torture, it is said to be almost impossible to clarify the breed of the dogs.

A rodent was also found with its skin removed alongside them.

Officials were called to Washfield Lane woods and now the RSCPA are trying to track down anyone who can offer information following the barbaric deaths.

RSPCA inspector Jennie Ronksley said: “Members of the public contacted our emergency line after a horrific discovery in a small area of trees near Treeton Dike on Thursday night.
