Re: Unbelievable cruelty
What I can't understand is if the dog was not wanted there are plenty of rescue societies that could help.Slightly different but same tack was when we had boarding kennels, it was not unknown for dog owners to try and get their dog boarded late into and during a pregnancy
Obviously in our cases we refused to take the dog, imagine if something went wrong or the dog died? our kennels would have landed up in court.
There are dog lovers and those that pretend to be dog lovers until something occurs they can't handle. Then unfortunately it is always the dog that suffers

Re: Unbelievable cruelty
In a way, I am glad they were dumped, because now they have got away from the hell hole they must have been forced to endure for so long.I have just read of a case where someone gouged both eyes out of a dog, then turned him out on the street, totally blind. This dog is now in safe hands too.
There is so much more sick behaviour in humans, than there ever will be seen in animals.
That is I want to say, because it distresses me so much.

Re: Unbelievable cruelty
In many ways the breeders are also at fault.Our beagle was sold by 'one of the top breeders in the country'
This does not mean the best for the dog it just means he has won more prizes and charges more for his dogs.. this idiot sold a male beagle to a woman who weighed about 250kg and could hardly walk.. It was plainly obvious that she was in no way able to take care of or provide the necessary stimulus for a hunting dog..But she had cash and he wanted $$$.
When we got Benny aged 11 months he was bad mannered and traumatised because her son had decided the best way to get rid of their problem was to throw the dog in the canal and let it drown.. Luckily he survived and has been with us for nearly 13 years.
Another breeder sold an elderly couple a border collie..When they couldnt cope with the hyperactive pup they starved it and tried beating it into submission.
Oscar was taken from them weighing only 1 /3 of his proper weight his ribs had been broken and he had wounds from an air rifle.
For 11 years he was my devoted friend .
Breeders who put money before the welfare of the dog should be banned from breeding/keeping animals too.

I see plenty of bad behavior from so called loving pet owners. Im glad the dogs are now being cared for. When we stopped showing our Hungarian Puli we decided to have her cords shorn. She was like a black Spring lamb, and almost puppy like again, im sure the loss of the coat on these will have the same effect.
I think its time that pet ownership became much harder and subject to more stringent measures.

I do agree that ownership of animals should be under stricter control but breeding and selling should also be tackled. No point putting house vist and risk assesment rules in place for rescue centers and KC breeders if the BYB ( back yard breeders) can skirt all of that and sell via sites like pets@home or gumtree.
Its stunning to think that that thers more paperwork involved in buying a 50cc motor scooter than there is buying a dog cat or even a horse.
My dogs are all/have been rescues and although the owners have often been at fault the breeders and sellers of the dogs and my parrot were equally if not more so at fault.

If i had a pet im sure it would have suffered because of my condition, not through a lack of love,and yes the breeders are responsible for much of what goes on.
I attended many dog shows during the 70`s and 80`s, so called animal lovers gave rival dogs broken teeth via a hammer, acid thrown in the coats and even poisoned food, i dont of course condemn all pet owners because of these actions.

Re: Unbelievable cruelty
So many people feel the same as I do and I still can't bear to look at this picture. I really feel hatred for whoever did it.My poor little dog Beau was in a similar condition when rescued from a puppy farm. On being rescued from the cage where he had lived for six years, he had to be shaved, have a chronic ear infection treated and a couple of teeth out. He also had a dislocated knee joint which had been left unattended so he walks with a limp. Wonderful to say, once these dogs are cared for, they will be like a him and be a beautiful dog who is now after 5mths developing a real of personality. We love him to bits and he knows it.

Re: Unbelievable cruelty
Our wee Mandy was found in a bramble bush, with her brother, both of them had their mouths taped up. My dad had been walking our other dog Cindy, and heard them crying. I might also add that Cindy was dumped in a bin bag outside the local mental hospital.Some people are truly sick and cruel.
