Hi, Thought I would share this info. I have about an hour ago been stopped by a lad who was walking his dog as I was aswell. He told me that to be careful because on Withens lane/Martins lane shops a white van had pulled up outside and put 2 dogs into back of it that where tied up as owners had gone into shops. All I know, and he did say that they got the Reg plate and police informed. Sorry I don't know anymore and how true this is.So if true please be careful. Fellow dog owner.

i heard that there is also an old horse=box van on the prowl . the driver looking for dogs to snatch

What do they do with these dogs when they steal them.

use them as bait dogs, tie there mouths shut then set some oitbulls on them to practice on

I hope that they catch them. If I got hold of these lowlifes I would do the same to them. Oh the poor dogs..

That's why I won't leave mine unattended outside shops

My god I cant believe what this world is coming too. When I read this post I shuddered with fear, was thinking about my own little dog being used as bait, I would be beside myself if I thought she would endure so much pain and fear, think she would just die of shock.
I hope these ... bags are found and get their cumupance.
How can people be so cruel, I never let my dog out of my site and would never leave her unattended, if I have to pop in a shop I would carry her in and keep her in my arms.

Can someone please tell me this has been reported to police ???

It says so in the first post !!!!!!!!!!!!!
