BC Crazy Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 What a tragedy R.I.P. poor pooches. Run free now at the bridge. Very uplifting response by so many people. That was lovely to see but it is such a bloody shame those totally innocent, defenseless dogs that lost their lives in such an horrific way all because some heartless, smart ar#e kid decided to get his kicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VizslaMomma Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Fecking' humans. If I got hold of those that committed this heinous crime, a one month stint in a Burns Unit would be my treatment. They can go to a Unit, smell the burning skin ANd hear the screams of the humans. Let them have that on their cursed heads. R.I.P., Little Dogs. May you have peace and freedom now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

labadore Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 They arrested a 15 year old boy within an hour of the fire thanks to the response of the public and the police have had to relocate his family due for their safety due to the emotional nature of the crime and overwhelming response from the public. There are many people baying for this boy's blood for what he did and hoping he suffers the same fate as the poor dogs that lost their lives did . Here is a link to the Manchester Dogs' Home Facebook page. Manchester Dogs' Home They are also nominating two local guys for hero awards who rushed in and saved about 20 dogs by kicking in the doors to the kennels to free the dogs and put them on leashes and tie them to fences before the firemen and police got there. There is a huge fundraising effort underway to help them rebuild the home and one of the efforts through the Justgiving website which was setup by the Manchester Evening Newspaper has already raised a staggering £1,342,696.84 with donations received worldwide from all the doglovers out there including myself. They have been inundated with offers from builders, other tradesmen and businesses offering their time and materials to rebuild the home, so on the positive side they should end up with state of the art new home as the old place was very old and quite run down as they are a charity and were fully reliant on public donations. They are also being inundated with food, blankets, crates, beds and so many other supplies required for the dogs and many collections and drop off points at so many businesses as the response to this awful tragedy has been quite amazing. All the surviving dogs have been transported to their sister shelter and other shelters and rescues are also helping. Hopefully with all this help being offered and money they are receiving they will be back up and running pretty quickly.

Salukifan Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 There is a special place in hell waiting for this kid.... in the meantime I hope he gets a lengthy prison term. Lots of dog lovers in prison. I hope this sees the surviving dogs find homes. God knows what they'll do with all that dog food. Cash donations would have been better. Maybe some less well off dog owners might score some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labadore Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 There is a special place in hell waiting for this kid.... in the meantime I hope he gets a lengthy prison term. Lots of dog lovers in prison. I hope this sees the surviving dogs find homes. God knows what they'll do with all that dog food. Cash donations would have been better. Maybe some less well off dog owners might score some. They have been overwhelmed with the response from the public to adopt the surviving dogs with traffic chaos being created by the public trying to get to their sister site Cheshire Dogs' Home, they have posted the following: At the moment the response has been so great Cheshire Dogs’ Home is gridlocked so till further notice please be patient and stay away from our Cheshire Home, we have been informed by the Police that the M6 and M60 are congested with wellwishers trying to reach us, we would be very grateful if you could postpone your visit till next week-end. Hi Everyone, due to what can only be called a MASSIVE over whelming response from the public the Police have requested Cheshire Dogs Home close its doors. There are tail backs onto the M6 as people are trying to get to the home. As you can appreciate this is causing massive problems on the roads.THANK YOU so much for all your support and I will update you all as soon as I can. I suspect the excess food and donated items would find its way to other shelters. The arsonist kid will probably be in protective custody as I am sure there will be lots of animal loving crims lining up to get their hands on him :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdierikx Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 It's kinda sad that the giving seems to occur most when a tragedy has occurred though... Wouldn't it be wonderful if that outpouring of care and concern went on all of the time? T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandgrubber Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I said this in another thread, but it holds true here too... There is a special place in Hell for cretins who do things like this. T. The article says it was a 14 yr old boy. I doubt he had any idea what he was doing. If there's blame, I'd lay it on the parents for lack of supervision. I'd say a few years public service working with dog rescue might be punishment enough. As someone who has done a few years of research on fire ignition and spread, I find the whole story baffling. There is almost no fuel in those kennels. I don't see how a fire could have spread. Nor can I imagine a 14 year old being systematic and calculating about putting ignition points around to make sure of good spread. With a facility that large, there should have been someone on premises at all times. How did things get so out of hand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
