Drug mule dogs forced to swallow bags of cocaine by gangs before being brutally sliced open and left for dead

An international drug trafficking ring forced dogs to swallow bags of cocaine and then brutally sliced the animals open to retrieve them. Police said they arrested 75 people across northern Italy and Rome for using the dogs in a drug scam - at least 50 were died after being cut open. Large breeds such as Great Danes, Labradors and Mastiffs were used by the gang to maximise their trafficking.
