A number of stolen dogs found here, lots of dead birds, and a horse.

Hopefully some lucky folk will be reunited with missing pets and the b@stards responsible will get what's coming to them.

One has been already, RSPCA are being sensible for once and liaising with Lost dogs UK.  There is only so much they can do - if a dog's chip can be ascertained they'll be reunited; if not they will be rehomed.

There was a little Jack Russell taken from a car in Dundee last week I suspect for dog fighting. Far too much of this going on these days. Time the courts came down hard on these people.

After all that has been in the press and facebook lately I was very surprised to see 2 Jack Russell dogs tied up outside Asda in Fraserburgh today. Was not long before owner turned up and not the least bit interested what could have happened to her dogs.

I've just read of a Staffy that turned up in an underpass 10 years - yes, TEN years after going missing!

He'd old, and isn't well, and they have no idea where he's been, but he was taken to a vet and they scanned him  and found his owner.

I keep gamefowl and have done for years but purely for my own pleasure of having them around and breeding them. Summer 2012 i had all my Malay stolen and all my Asil. I can only guess where they went or ended up eventually. The Malay they probably sold on for profit. It does put you off even owning these type of birds.
