Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

MOSCOW (Reuter) - A man seized an Alsatian dog that jumped up at him in a park in the Ukrainian city of Dnepropetrovsk and savaged it to death in front of its horror-stricken owner, Itar-Tass news agency reported yesterday.

The agency said the dog, named Elsa, may have been aroused by a strong smell of alcohol emanating from the 37-year-old man as he walked through the park. When Elsa pounced, the man sank his teeth into the dog's throat.
