30 decapitated dog heads found in Tokyo moat

A Tokyo meat seller who imported dog meats from China abandoned about 30 dog heads in an outer moat of the Tokyo Detention House, the police said Friday.
The 82-year-old man told reporters, "I have dumped (the heads of dogs) that I imported for food because I had a problem disposing of them."
Officials from the Metropolitan Police Department said they will question the man on suspicion of violating the waste disposal law.
The man said he imported the severed heads and bodies of dogs from China and sold all body meat.
The heads were left unsold. He said he dumped them into the moat around late October, thinking "it will be food for carps in the moat.
Most of the heads have decomposed to the skull, according to police.
The heads were found Friday in 45-centimeter-deep water in the moat, scattered within a stretch of 1 to 2 meters. The moat is on a levee 8.5 meters wide, located north of the facility in the Kosuge area of Katsushika Ward.
A woman pedestrian spotted the heads at around 1:15 p.m. and reported to police. "
