wolfies mom Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 does anyone know if this could be put on the news on tv every night. I just wonder if anyone in the know would be able to organise anything. as idealy most people are dog lovers , let the country as a whole know this is going on ,and ask them for infomation. forgive me if i come across as naive, but it's absolutely horrendous.It truly breaks my heart.

ChloeEastwood Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Don't know if I have posted this in the right place or not but I just wanted to let everyone know that we have some dog thieves in the Port Stephens area. 2 dogs, I think they were both Bull Terrior's were taken last night from a residence at Medowie. There has been a number of dogs taken in the Rutherford/Newcastle area of late one of whom, "Tank" has been found dead just the other day. I don't know if it is the same B@#tards but it certainly sounding like it. Lock up your precious dogs everyone please. Keep an eye out for anything that looks suspect. I am really starting to worry. It is getting way to close to home for my liking Those behind the organisation should be held responsible and charged with citing terror and fear into the community. Among other unspeakable crimes on their extensive list. An uneasy change of lifestyle the affected areas residents have had to adapt and endure. Maximum security. Our homes shouldn't be a prison, this isn't a chaotic lawless third world state. How much longer do you have to live in fear? Sadly your pets may have survived another day but in it's place another faces a painful, tortured and grime fate. A moment of silence; Frantically scanning and searching amongst the sea of unfamiliar faces for his family, anyone he recognises, a saviour, but at this point he'll settle for someone with a single shred of kindness and mercy to return him to where he was taken or just out of this hell. Man's cruelty never ceases to disgust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noire Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I saw the stories about Tank being missing and was at work when I read the herald story about him being found dead on the side of the road and I cried. Everyone was asking me what was wrong. I can't even imagine what his family is going through. Poor poor baby, and all the other much loved dogs who have died such a horrible death. Please everyone in the Hunter region keep an eye out for suspicious vehicles specially a white hi lux with dog cages on the back. Apparently the first three letters in the number plate is something like AWW. Maybe we should be ringing the police and demanding they do something about it.

Sheridan Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Has any more information been released about Tanks autopsy yet? I guess thee must be if his cause of death has been established. I haven't checked recently but I thought I'd read that there were no marks on him at all and the owners were pending blood test results to establish a cause of death.

KatrinaM Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 That's the last I heard too. Somebody said above they were upset when they thought about how he died so I thought it must have been established Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) I hope this thread can stay on topic & 'nice' because I (& I'm sure many other's in our local area) need to know what is happening regarding this horrible situation that has been happening & the more people are made aware of it, the more chance I feel we have of catching these b@#tards. Also even if this thread reminds 1 person to bring their precious dog inside today or check that their side gate is locked, we may of just saved that dogs life. Who knows but while it is being talked about & 'out there' at least we are in with a 'fighting chance' of catching these very cruel people, unlike the poor dogs that are being used in this criminal torturous act. This morning's local radio news made comment of the dog fighting & that the police are asking anyone who has seen a white Toyota Hilux rego no AXX--- with 4 dog crates on the back & covered with a bright blue tarp to contact them urgently. A friend of ours who lives in Lemon Tree Passage heard someone trying to get into the side gate of his backyard 2 nights ago but they couldn't get it open & by the time he got out there they were gone. He owns a Dingo & a Border Collie I haven't heard any more regarding poor Tank either. Just so very sad & I feel so bad for his owners Might just take a while for blood work results.

I agree, there are many DOLers who either live in the area or have family and/or friends in the area, not to mention people who aren't DOLers but have been directed to this thread/ or forum as a way to gain information during this horrible time.

BC Crazy Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) Yes, I really believe that it is about making people aware "heads up" about it. Keeping our eyes & ears open. Being informed & up to date on what is going on regarding this. It certainly is a horrible time for us dog owners with this huge black cloud hanging over us ATM. Very worrying, sad times Edited July 2, 2012 by BC Crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkhe Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Has any more information been released about Tanks autopsy yet? I guess thee must be if his cause of death has been established. I haven't checked recently but I thought I'd read that there were no marks on him at all and the owners were pending blood test results to establish a cause of death. I'm coming to this thread late - but I did have a quick read of it.. is this Tank the same Tank that was reported missing on FB and over forums etc a few weeks ago? I thought he was an Aus Bulldog, and that he was found dead but had no marks on him or apparent cause of death, adn that blood tests would be able to shed some light on the situation. Given that, I'm just confused as to how he is involved in the dog fighting - I was under the impression that these are separate issues. Is it just speculation or is there some evidence that links to dog fighting rings were made, with the Tank case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) It is the same Tank. Apart from him having no marks it sounds like the same people who are stealing these dogs for fighting. They take the dogs and then dump them near where they were stolen when they are done in very poor condition. The whole thing sounds so dodgy it could be related especially given the area and the timing. The local hardware store said they have had a lot of people come in for chains and padlocks so at least the word is getting out. I dont understand how the police can have the model of a vehicle and three digits of the number plate and not know who it is Edited July 2, 2012 by Cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) Tank is the same one as on FB & yes he had no visual marks on him etc he happened to go missing in the same period of time that another 2 dogs were taken from the same area. I am unsure whether these cases are related or not. It's just so sad IMHO to have your dog stolen for any reason. Fighting or otherwise Edited July 2, 2012 by BC Crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Crazy Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) Just heard on local radio 3pm news late yesterday afternoon that these B's had tried to steal dogs from the private home of a lady who works at the local animal welfare shelter at Lake Macquarie. So this is quite wide spread it seems through this region ATM. Same white Hilux was spotted I think though Edited July 2, 2012 by BC Crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perrin Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 How are people finding the dogs? Are they trolling through places like DOL and Facebook where people have listed their profiles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 I really don't know perrin. This is certainly not just one guy in a truck, this is much bigger than that IMO. They must have 'spotters' out & about, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
