3Woofs Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 About 2 months ago I gave my little mini pony away to a friend's relative where he was kept in their backyard as a pet and walked around the streets everyday. Well two neighbourhood dogs which are apparently used for hunting jumped the front yard fence and forced their way through the backyard fence where they mauled little Milo He was only 83cm tall and had to be PTS due to the severity of his injuries. The police were called while the dogs were still in the yard and were going to shoot them but they were worried they would get the pony so they called the pound who took them away. Apparently these dogs have killed cats and a dog before so I hope they get the book thrown at them! :D R.I.P little fellow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifi Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Oh god how horrific :-( our vet practice has had to deal with the innocent victims (dogs, sheep, and more) this week of uncontrolled dogs, and the ranger & police are gunning for them. that poor wee pony and his owners. fifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Her Majesty Dogmad Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Poor little boy, how truly horrific, no animal deserves to suffer that fate. I hope the dogs are euthanased now so they don't cause any further suffering. As for the b-----d owners, I sue their arses off, they deserve very bad karma and a deep hole in their pockets.

I'm still waiting to find out for sure but I think the owners is arguing against having the dogs PTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Her Majesty Dogmad Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Shame they couldn't have shot the bloody dogs, they'll be no loss to this world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WreckitWhippet Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Unless the owners of the dogs are prepared to fight council in court, at the very least it will be an open and shut case of a Notice of Intent and a declaration by Council as dangerous. It doesn't help poor Milo. I'd be suing the owners of the dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest belgian.blue Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 There are two bull type dogs near my parents with the invisable fencing. They have attacked a neighbours JRT, another dog and now a human but they are still contained with no fence .. just some stupid collars that don't keep them in. Wonder how long till they kill a dog or a human Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3Woofs Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 Yeah the pony owners have been told to sue for compensation.... don't know if they will as they are pretty upset at the moment and haven't thought too much about it. I can't believe the dogs went through two quite secure fences! I could understand seeing a pony standing in a paddock and chasing it, but they sought out the pony to get him. The owners have a little dog too that is probably traumatised by having the strange dogs running around it's yard ripping milo apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Truly sickening. Poor Milo having that happen to him. Too horrible. Nothing will bring him back, and only time with lessen the horror, but never erase it. However, I can't imagine wanting to keep dogs who can injure a solid little horse to the extent he has to be PTS. Sadly some people just see that as a plus for some dogs. My deepest sympathies to everyone who knew and loved Milo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninahartland Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 OMG ! That's awful Bluestaff...poor little guy... RIP Just this week there have been half a dozen sheep been mauled up my way. They belonged to a school and were really pets of the pupils. All had to be pts, just too badly mauled. Not wild dogs either, just a couple that obviously had owners that don't believe in keeping them behind secure fencing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsfevr Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 As horrible as its sounds did they get photos of the injuries?? Did a vet have to PTS Milo?? Get reports from all parties,vet,police,ranger etc . A dreadful way for animal to depart this world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifi Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Very good advice Showdog. All will be needed to make a case. the dogs doing the killing near where I work are traditional companion breeds & their crosses, backyard pets who form a pack at night. All the real hunters in this area have their dogs well secured. fifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dreadful way for animal to depart this world Yes the vet did a report for them when he came to PTS and I've told themt o make sure they get both the police and ranger reports. The ranger also took photos of the injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Poor Milo, RIP little guy. The dogs should be euthed. Dogs like that shouldn't be alive. Hopefully the council will take care of it. I think your friends should write to the council, just to ensure it is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
