RH33 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Says it all that the owners would rather give the dogs up than get them neutered and pay £98 to register them. Plenty dogs are muzzled for walking, and it only cost about £6 to hire an enclosed field for half an hour to let them have a proper run around. I'm willing to bet most of them aren't chipped or up to date with vaccinations as well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was wondering the same, no one seems to bat an eye when they see greyhounds being walked on a lead while muzzled. Surely if you had any sort of love for your dog you'd simply comply with the regs rather than give it up to god knows who from f**k knows where. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on most of your post and the chip thing (given its the law) but there is zero requirement to be up to date with vaccinations. The World Small Animal Veterinary Association recommend every three years for core vaccinations despite the vets saying its an annual thing. I have two adult dogs (5 & who haven't been boosted since having puppy vaccs. An annual blood test confirms they still have acceptable antibody levels and that's accepted by pet insurance companies etc. Edited January 3 by Futureboy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole "up to date" thing just sticks in my craw as the vets are making up rules that go against their own associations guidelines and could be prevented with a simple test. Anyway, I won't derail the thread any further 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What RH33 says, their drive to chase and kill small animals (not necessarily limited to squirrels and bunnies) is insanely high. The ones that have been used for racing are trained to chase a lure that is meant to resemble a rabbit. Someone near us got their Yorkshire terrier back in a few pieces after it ran up to a pair of them that were being walked on a lead but weren't muzzled.

Sammy Wilkinson has taken 33 dogs to Scotland so far, as tighter laws on their ownership were introduced on 31 December in England and Wales. The laws have not been introduced in Scotland. Mr Wilkinson, from Tipton, West Midlands, said he had been inundated with owners needing help and is making another trip on Friday. He said he was passionate about helping dogs that might otherwise be abandoned. Mr Wilkinson said he was seeing some owners who bought bully XL dogs during Covid lockdowns, when they became what he called "a status dog", and were now giving them up. "A lot of owners have been irresponsible, in taking these dogs on in the first place," he said. Great, so this guy is carting these potential killing machines up to Scotland knowing full well that many of them have been looked after up until now by "irresponsible owners." Then they'll no doubt get rehomed to more irresponsible owners. Not sure why the Scottish Government is not following suit with the UK Gov on this one, how many attacks by these monsters will it take for the penny to drop? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the old joke. A man responds to an advert, a talking dog for sale. He's shown to a pen, where the dog introduces himself and describes his military service, detecting land mines. He approaches the owner and asks why he'd sell a dog like that. The owner tells him the dog is a fucking liar and has never been out the street. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Europe, farmers have started using livestock protection dogs where wolves have been reintroduced. We can look forward to the underclass aspiring to one of these darlings. Turkish Kangal can take bites out of wolves. Edited January 4 by Sergeant Wilson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
