Yep.  We were told in the 1980s by a police officer at a talk with the Youth Club on how to protect ourselves, not to carry hair spray etc. as the Police would have to take action as an 'offensive weapon'  . 

[jaypo]

I'd do anything to protect my dogs and ultimately it would be my word against criminal scum 

[CLKD]

Yep.  I would have killed to protect mine  .  NO ONE .......... don't even think of it!

Two dachsunds stolen in Northamptonshire on Sat. afternoon. Wouldn't you think that with all the news, people would be more careful 

[CLKD]

The 3 dachshunds that were stolen from their garden in N/shire have been found over recent weeks.  PHEW!

C.C. - how did U get on with the discussion with the Goldie breeder?

[CLKD]

20 puppies left in a crate in a lay-by  Probably from several litters of similar age.  B****Sards

[jaypo]

Wow, I never fail to be horrified at how heinous people can be. Would it be so hard to just (if you HAVE to) leave the crate outside a vets or an animal shelter? 

[Songbird]

The thought of my boy being stolen horrifies me! These people are scum (and as for people mistreating dogs - don’t get me started!)
Honestly, I couldn’t trust myself to work for the SPCA - can you imagine coming across the character that had abused the wee thing you had rescued? 

[CLKD]

There are more - men jailed this week having cropped ears of 'bull'-type puppies : pit-bull/mastiff/xStaffie 

And a lurcher in dreadful condition with puppies rescued from a shed during those two hottest days ever ........... now in the care of the Scottish PCA. 

[jaypo]

I think it would be the worst thing ever,having your dog stolen,not knowing how it was,omg,not worth thinking about,my poodle mix would just curl up and die if she wasn't with us 

I saw that clkd,why oh why do they want cropped ears? Makes them look more aggressive of course 

[CLKD]

It used to be common in Germany: Gt Danes, Dobes, Alsations ..........

Of course all pups have to be micro chipped by Law in the UK, that won't apply to back street breeders though  .  A member of the public made the alert when seeing the pups in a cage being transferred somewhere. 

[C.C.]

It just sickens me how cruel people can be.  I have a friend that works at our local shelter and the stories she had told are heartbreaking and infuriating.

[CLKD]

Infuriating certainly.  Un-necessary too.  Cruel - perhaps they should have the same done to them!

[jaypo]

I guarantee there are very few dogs chipped,only responsible breeders will do this.
Cropping is still common in the states,I watch that "animal cops Houston " at the weekend and all the Doberman's seem to have it done,as far as I can tell,it just makes them look surprised more than anything else 🤷‍♀️

[CLKD]

Yep.  Like WTF 

I don't watch many programmes about animal rescue.  Too upsetting
