Rascalmyshadow Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Just wanted to make people aware there is a major dog fighting ring going on in the Seaford, Frankston and Mornington Peninsula areas. Many local dogs have recently started to go missing mostly staffy and staffyx's. Crime stoppers have released a photo of a suspect and it is known to have recently been happening in a Seaford factory. If anyone living down this way see's anything suspicious at all please report it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayla1 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Do you know where I could get more info about this? I've heard of dog fighting on the Peninsula before but haven't heard anything recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rascalmyshadow Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 If you have a look at crime stoppers facebook and the other in formation I read in our local paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rascalmyshadow Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Sorry but I would be taking it a bit more seriously, I live in the area and dogs are going missing. How do you explain the recently found dog that had half its face mauled and was left to die with a garbage bag tied around its head? It was near a park where confirmed sightings of dog fights have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayla1 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Last year in Tootgarook there was a staffy found mauled with a bag tied around it's head. The police were investigating possible dog fighting in the area. I'm not sure if this is the same incident you are referring to, or whether it's happened again since - I hope not.

These same scenario's pop up all around the world from time to time. Edited August 10, 2013 by BoStoNmAdNeSs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was near a park where confirmed sightings of dog fights have been. That was quite awhile ago. February 2012 isn't that recent.

Rascalmyshadow Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 We have had reports in the local paper in the last few weeks, apparently the investigations have been going on since the end of last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the updated reports from this month might be a bit more relevant? I deliberately used past tense.. 'has had'. Saying that the RSPCA's suspicions were published in the past... & the article has a date. They were then taking the matter seriously & had some degree of certainty, involving the south-east. Which means that the RSPCA Victoria would be a good source to enquire if there's any current up-dated information, especially about that same area. There's been a long time in-between for further playing out of that investigation. Phone them up & ask. Edited August 10, 2013 by mita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakkjackal Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Apparently two American bulldogs were stolen from Mt Martha yesterday, one was found today covered in bite marks and blood the other is yet to be found. Also two beagles stolen today from Mt Eliza. How do they know the dogs were stolen? Pretty sure it said the owners of the bulldogs were away? Bite marks and blood can mean many things, dog fighting being on the bottom of the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 If it walks like an ostrich and quacks like an ostrich- it must be not happening. http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/man-charged-over-dog-thefts-20130621-2oopm.html http://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/prod/parlment/hansart.nsf/V3Key/LA20130502062 http://www.nbc15.com/home/headlines/Dog-fight-leads-to-arrest-and-citation-218711901.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rascalmyshadow Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 Are people still seriously in denial that something nasty is not going on. This dog turned up dumped in Pt Leo in this condition. Apparently Mornington Police are doing investigating. There are way too many dogs going missing from secure backyards and homes.
