Can anyone down in the Kettering/Corby area go and help look for these dogs. One has three legs, they are tied together with rope and covered in blood. Thrown deliberately from the back of a van and managed to scramble over to rough ground. If one dies the other can't get away. Please help - https://www.facebook.com/groups/168330203267984/ (https://www.facebook.com/groups/168330203267984/)

How horrible, hope they are found ok.

*incoherent rage about not currently having transport*
I've posted in case anyone can give me a lift up....
Poor mites.

I wish I were nearer :'( Bad luck to the ba****ds who did this. I worked for years with Greyhound Rescue and saw some pretty awful sights but things like this beggar belief. There are no end of places to take unwanted greyhounds including, in the last options, the vets. There is just no need for this. I hope they're soon found safely :dog:

That's what gets me - if you can be bothered to do this, why not take them to a rescue centre? B@stards - hope they get what they deserve

Think I've sorted a lift to go help tomorrow :thumbsup:
Hell, even a bullet in the head would be easier than this?!?!! >:(
-
I had a friend round last night in tears to tell me of a whippet that had been found locally, left for dead on the side of the road with it's ears and tail cut off. WHY!! >:( >:( >:( >:(
-
I will never understand why people do these kind of things Sylvia, there are some very evil people out there. :'( We had a foxhound in the kennels once and she had her ears cut off so the tattoos couldn't be traced. Sadly I've seen this in Greyhounds too, which is one of the reasons I prefer microchipping. I know it has downsides too, but so far I haven't witnessed any maiming because of it. Why cut off her tail though? :'( :'(After 27 years of working with rescue animals nothing surprises me - sadly.
-
>:( >:( >:( This is sickening. Poor dogs had done nothing to deserve this.
-
that's the kind of thing that goes on in the greyhound world it used to be common to find them in a canal with a few bricks if they did not make it as a racer other dogs ended there day this way as well
now there is outrage once it gets publicised :farmer:
-
Was out 9:30-3:30 today, no sign yet :( More searchers taking over this evening.....
robert - I can understand the reasoning behind dispatching a "bad/useless" dog - I just can't see why someone would go to the effort of tying them up, having a mate or two in the back to open the van doors, and fling them out on a main road...
-
to kill them and make it look like an accident
there was a nugget round here tied his Alsatian up to an electric pole when it chewed through the lead and set off he was not happy especially when i told him it had been shot :D we knew the woman who gave it a home and every time he passed her house the dog went mental to get him :farmer:
-
Jesus Christ. Pass the sawnoff.

There have been over 100 volunteers out looking fro these dogs - over an area of about 25 square miles. The Police have been helpful to an extent and to be honest traps with food bait might have helped but where were the RSPCA who have this equipment? Anywhere but in Corby!
-
Did they have a television crew out recording? No? Well you won't see the RSPCA if there isn't one present :( It's a disgrace.

minor rant:
To quote Men in Black ( ::)) "A person is intelligent. People are dumb, stupid, panicky animals..."
The facebook group is imploding to the point of the main search co-ordinator wanting to give up the lead.
I want to slap a lot of people and tell them to read the info that's there instead of asking the same question over and over and over and over and over and over and over.....

Exactly - I sent Jess a [personal message when I saw that this morning. I used that dream catcher in my window last night and woke up in the early hours with a picture in my mind of a caravan with a big hole under it and the dogs in there. Have posted it on the FB page. Stupid thought but I can't get it out of my head - I can even picture the dogs in the hole. Think I'm going senile!
-
Now I know who you are ;D ;)
I'm working on something to help, but won't do the grand reveal til it's ready to "go live"
-
I hope you're both successful :dog:

Yes, but who are you - PM me ;D
-
I'm the map girl ;) hehe
Might work better if email wasn't now having a hissy fit!
-
There musy be a way to disable posts on the FB page, then it wouldn't get bogged down. If anyone had any relevant info to the search they could pm her or she could add another admin to cope with all the info, we had to do that on our Lurcher page.
-
There are a few admins, and it's partially shut so that Joe Public can't make new threads, they can only comment. But the comments go bananas! Closing down access would get rid of certain people, but would also put off the genuine ones trying to help and coming up with ideas.
Just wish they had to read all the docs before they could post anything ;D
-
Any news?
-
The dogs are back with their owners as far as we know. Bit difficult to make out exactly what happened, but reading between the lines in my opinion it was a neighbour dispute that got out of hand. As they do! ::)
-
Thank goodness for that, what cowards for taking it out on the animals. I know there are two sides to every story, there may have been a final straw for this cruel action to be taken but there are other ways arguments can be solved.
-
Like tying the neighbours together and throwing them out of a van >:( >:( >:( ;D
-
what are the other names for those who move around from place to place - no fixed abode - etc etc. poachers spring to mind so dogs became 'hot' Had to be removed from FB
-
The conspiracy theories are out of this world though ???
-
I gave up and came off all of it, Helen. ::) I didn't realise till now how close you were to the incident.
-
Too blooming close, I tells ya, and I'll think twice before volunteering to help anyone via "social media" again!
I just hope the dogs are ok.
-
Did you get a lot of hassle? I hope the dogs are OK too, but who knows in that environment.
-
Not personally, but trying to explain things to a very large group of people, of which some are determined to think the worst... Yes glad I escaped the nastiness! Gave my dog an extra cuddle too ;D (and then discovered she's terrified of the buzzer on one particular comedy/panel show ??? ::) )
-
Ha ha - my older bitch comes running to me scared when a text comes in on my mobile. She is gunshy as well, but that was an incident when she was a youngster that caused that. I've even tried changing the ring tone for texts. She still does it. ::) Yup, mine all got an extra cuddle that night too. I can't help wondering what will happen now I must admit. If you do get to hear anything would you let me know by pm? :)
