Dogs found in raid
 

"Eighty-three dogs believed stolen have been seized in a police raid.

The animals were found during an almost 10-hour search of West Meadows travellers' site in Ipswich on Saturday."

This comes after a large number of stolen dogs were found in a South Wales traveller's site.

I know it might be considered as racial profiling but I hardly find it a surprise they were found on a travellers site. Dogs are getting robbed where I live to often literally snatched from the owners arms. Well whoever are doing it they are **** of the Earth

It's happening with increasing regularity because they are now worth more because of increased demand due to the pandemic.

After a friend nearly had hers stolen by two men in a car driving on the wrong side of the road I warned Hugh about this as he was talking about taking his dog for a walk. These people would think nothing about pushing him over and taking his dog, absolutely nothing.

My friend now carries a rape alarm with her when she takes hers out as she is so afraid.

If there was more forensic analysis of the bags of poo left hanging on trees, the police could track these dogs. They are missing a trick there. (Or are they too busy looking for missing people?)

If people didn't pay silly prices for 'cute'/pedigree dogs it wouldn't be a problem.

Indeed, there's to much of that imo, might as well go whole hog, we have a problem with pick pocketing, legalise it then it's no longer a problem and it's the victins own fault for having things of value in their pockets

A main road has been closed on the outskirts of Cardiff due to a "serious disturbance" and reports of an assault. All around a travellers site that has had other "serious disturbances" recently.

Nobody can touch them, protected by ridiculous archaic laws that are well overdue to be amended.

Re: Dogs found in raid
 

Agreed, let's not blame the victims!

Re: Dogs found in raid
 

Let's hope the dog owners had had the foresight to get their pets chipped so they can be reunited with their families.

Re: Dogs found in raid
 

Maybe we should chip people too, 176,000 reported missing each year, yet we seem to care more about dogs.

Re: Dogs found in raid
 

Great idea Mr K, but can you imagine the outcry :D

Different chip technology anyway, pets that are 'found' and scanned can be reunited with their owners because of the info on the chip, you'd need a tracking type chip to trace people who are missing . . although many people constantly now carry one in their mobile phone ;)

Re: Dogs found in raid
 

Dogs have been found with their chips cut out. :mad:

Re: Dogs found in raid
 

Not to worry, Mr K - being sorted as we speak/type... ;)

Re: Dogs found in raid
 

That's already in the vaccine, Mr. K, didn't you know that? :D

It was on Channel 5 today that we didn't "bring across" the EU law that protects animals, so at the moment, in the eyes of the law, stealing someones dog is no different to stealing their mobile phone.

The good news is that the UK intends to pass a law that enshrines the concept of animals being sentient beings that have emotions, memories, can feel pain etc.

Re: Dogs found in raid
 

Will that law also stop people stealing my daffodils? I talk to them . . they listen . . they're sentient and feel pain.

Anyway, doesn't matter how many laws you make up, scrotes will steal something at the risk of a £50 fine and/or a week litter picking.

Re: Dogs found in raid
 

So now (or at least when the law is introduced) rather than investigating the theft of an animal it will have to be elevated to the same thing as child abduction.
I can see it now, "Nationwide hunt for dog abductors!". As if the police aren't overstretched already.

Prince Charlie talks to the trees, why should daffodills be different? They have feelings too.

Re: Dogs found in raid
 

Impressive that we’re told not to follow stereotypes when some of the people these stereotypes are aimed at seem to work so hard to perpetuate them…

Re: Dogs found in raid
 

Very true.
