Tesco customer horrified after discovering pig's head dumped outside store

The animal’s head was wrapped in a white plastic bag and stashed in the recycling area of the store.

They posted an image of the deceased animal’s head on Facebook, warning locals, and parents with children in particular, to keep well aware of the area.

Social media users reacted with both shock and disdain, slamming the finding as “disgusting” and “awful”.

Workers from the shop cleaned up its remains and disposed of the head. A Tesco spokesperson later confirmed that the incident had no connections to the supermarket.

Local police stated that they received no reports of the carcass.

Earlier this year, a dying dog was found dumped outside a bin behind a Tesco supermarket.

The “XL Bully” type dog, who was found wrapped in a black bin liner, was unable to stand because of breaks to his neck, back, legs and ribs.

An investigation was soon launched by the RSPCA after the pooch was found in Church Road, Yardley, Birmingham at 1.30pm on January 6.

The neglected pup, which was around six months old, was rushed to Birmingham Animal Hospital.

However, he sadly died while on the treatment table.

RSPCA inspectors said he may have been an XL Bully breed but because he was in such a bad condition it was impossible to tell.

Animal rescue officer Beccie Doherty from the charity said: “This poor dog was terrified and in pain, and covered in his own waste as he was unable to stand to go to the toilet.

“It's sickening that someone chose to treat an animal in this heartless way, and even more distressing to think they simply dumped him to die in a bag they decided to throw away.”
