Rosemary Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Why oh why do people insist that they know better than everyone else, and let their huskies off lead - this is what happens :mad: an innocent life lost through stupidity. RIP little man - it wasn't your time to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Melsom Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 People will never learn, they just dont understand that its in the genes of the dog and thats why it cant be offlead not becasue its well trained or not. RIP poor puppy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Sounds pretty drastic to pts a dog when it could have been given to a rescue for rehoming in an area where there is no sheep or livestock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumps Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Sounds pretty drastic to pts a dog when it could have been given to a rescue for rehoming in an area where there is no sheep or livestock. I agree, and the law states that the dog owner is liable for the damage caused by the dog and the farmer has a legal defense to shoot your dog if he feels it is the only way to prevent more livestock damage or worry, but I didn't find anything that gives him the right to demand that the dog gets put to sleep. Still, I suppose thats just semantics now. Poor dog, R.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Angel n Auroras Mum Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 OH FOR GODS SAKE WHEN WILL PEOPLE LEARN?? Copied from Claire at Share and Rachel from wiltshire huskies..... Here we go again.. just been posted on my group page..... NEWS FLASH Just heard the owner of an alaskan malamute let his dog off in my Brother in law's field in Purton off Crickllade Road at Collins Lane and the dog attacked a ewe in lamb by the throat and killed it. Owner apprehended and the matter is in the hands of the police/c ourt to decide on the dog's fate (believed it will be put down). Please owners take care not to trepass in farmed areas and do not let your dogs off there. I would even exercise my Bella at the farm and now the dog will have to pay the price. Attempts are being made to rescue the lamb in the mother at present. Lambing season will mean more deaths, please people, share x EDIT: THE DOG IN QUESTION WAS ONLY 17 MONTHS OLD. HE IS NOW AT RAINBOW BRIDGE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasodaisy Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I know there is the argument about whether to let them offlead or not. My argument is simply: when it doesn't work the dog pays the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosemary Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 There must be a way for us to reach more husky/malamute owners and get them to join the forum. The only way to stop this senseless killing is through educating them (the owners) about the dangers of off lead huskies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumps Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I live in the scottish borders and theres farms all over the place within walking distance, theres no way i'll be taking a chance with off lead walking. Sounds too much like sticking a fork in a socket to see if the powers on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
