Ker Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Has anyone heard of any dog baiting in Adelaide, particularly around the North eastern suburbs? I just heard from a friend of mine who came home today to find one of his dogs dead and lumps of raw meat in the backyard Do the police take this seriously?

casowner Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) The police should be called and a report made, I would suggest an autopsy to see if there were poisons or at least get the meat tested and also contact the council.

jr_inoz Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 someone I know lost their Ridgeback a couple of year ago, in the southern suburbs, to baiting. From the neighbour over the back fence. Didn't like the dog barking. Was very sad. Police report made but because they didn't actually see the neighbour throw the bait, nothing was done. I couldn't understand that. Very sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trishm Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 That is a despicable act, and the perpetrator should be punished. Sorry for your friends loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsKatie Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 That sucks big time - there are some sickos out there. I would def report it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellinnet Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Oh no, how sad for your friend and his dog. I hope his other dog(s) are ok. I have not heard anything about baiting. I would definitely report it to the police, there may be other cases of it that can be linked. I would think about contacting the council as well.

Ker Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 He called the police and they said "well, what do you want us to do?" I've told him to call the council. And take the meat to the vet to have it tested. Strangely, there are also lumps of rockmelon around the yard??? WTH? His female Shar Pei is ok. Boy was not so lucky. He was a bit of a pig though and would have scoffed meat down. She is not so piggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brennan's Mum Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 That's horrible . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mags Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 That's horrible and what a response from the police. Dad had his Border Collie baited a few years back and several other dogs in their street and surronding streets were baited. The police took it very seriously as they thought it was some one getting rid of the dogs so they could break in - it was just a few weeks before Christmas. Really sorry for your friend.

Guest Arcane Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 bloody cops..... A crime has been committed, they should at least take a report & show a little compassion! Bet the response might be a bit different if a little kiddy had taken the bait.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dory the Doted One Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 It does depend on what police station you go to. I've found some can be non receptive to some 'crimes' because they see it all the time and make pre-judgements. Even though they aren't meant to. Perhaps try a different station? Or call the 13 number, I've had great responses from them on various issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris the Rebel Wolf Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 He called the police and they said "well, what do you want us to do?" I've told him to call the council.

He was a bit of a pig though and would have scoffed meat down. She is not so piggy. What a digesting act and a disgusting response from police. I'd make a complaint. Or call the papers. Or both. Poor guy, what a way to go... at least his owner still has the girl, and it wasn't a double heartbreak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dame Aussie Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) So horrible police make me sick sometimes, I'd call the council and different stations to see if you get any joy Edited November 15, 2011 by Aussie3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypaws Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Thats just terrible ... I wanted to add i had heard of similar situations (not in Adelaide though ) where dogs were baited before break ins - i know this has already been mentioned . Just mention it to your friend and be mindful of security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what was happening in my suburb recently, the police took it VERY seriously. A heap of dogs were baited, then a week to a couple of weeks later the houses were broken into. The council rangers here were letting people know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ker Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Yeah the cops said to him to be mindful of security because people could try to break in. He still has the female pei, but both dogs were very friendly. They didn't have to kill him Dillon would have shown them where the good stuff was. He was the most beautiful, sweet, dopey dog I have ever met and an absolute credit to his breed and breeder. He converted the vet, who didn't like pei's before she desexed him.
