A Tesco customer was left horrified after they discovered a pig’s head dumped outside the store.
The shopper made the ghastly discovery when walking past the supermarket in Ingleby, Teesside, at 10.20am on October 6.
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.

TESCO LATEST:
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.”
