The weather this week has been lovely and sunny and warm. Draco has not been wearing any of his coats (though I am working on a new one) and I have abandoned the jeans and went out this morning in a skirt
( Read more... )
And all they get if they are caught is a fine and community service.
The Crufts case was a Belgian exhibitor and they did not discover this until they got home - the autopsy identified three different poisons, fed in cubed beef, on Thursday morning, so almost certainly premeditated sabotage (or attempted sabotage, the dog was a companion to the Best of Breed winner, and had swapped bench places with the better known dog (and someone had stripped the award cards from the bench) the nasty side of animal showing.) One of the reasons we stopped showing the cats was that, as the victims of a vendetta, we didn't trust our cats alone at shows.
Do you live in east Essex? Because some other dipshit has been poisoning dogs (and two horses) with a similar method there.
It appears that the Crufts dipshit actually intended to poison the dog that had been Red Setter best of breed, but the owners of both dogs (from Belgium) had switched them about on the benches.
I am delighted about the weather and the walks and the discovery of a game called flyball, but ugh for the poisoning. Is this something that people fear and guard against, or is it entirely a one-off? I very much hope the latter.
In any human activity with a competition element there are people who lose all sense of proportion. The 'usual' way of sabotaging a show animal is to cut its coat, actual poison is rare but yes, if you;re successful, you might be subjected to jealous rage.
It is. And I am now very chuffed that Draco's half sister has not only won Best in Breed but also got pulled out as third in the Toy Group (this never happens to a non-fluffy breed). Also with a junior boy handler. We ETT people are going to be insufferable now!

Oh, that's terrible! I hope they're caught.
Some lowlife has been putting out dog treats with rat poison sandwiched between them in a village not a million miles from here :( Awful.

I'm ashamed to be the same species as some people.
