  1. Added to picking up the pieces is the mentality that that is what rescues are for, as if owners have a right to count on rescues to clear up for them. I wish some owners would show the same level of loyalty the dogs do. And being disgusted and horrified at images such as these.... Jack does not make a fluffy pet owners or an anti, nor a PETA supporter, but just how much is a dogs life worth to some? Why are many rescues against new owners working their dogs? Because they see all too often the aftermath when a dog is no longer of use. They watch the coming and going of new fads, hence
  2. Is it any great shock really? Nothing more than we have come to expect!!
  3. We have very kindly been leant a collarum trap to help catch the stray lurcher we have been following for a while now. I have no experience of traps or setting them. Are there any experienced trappers that are in the wigan area to please lend their knowledge and experience please.
  4. Daz, my offer still stands. Yell if you want.
  5. Jeez Miss D!! Get over yourself already. Moss died 2 years ago. Let it go!! He's a sh!t, you're a sh!t now take your sh!t somewhere else.
  6. :db: Nice to see you kids still at it. Any other forums you want to take this to?
  7. We have tried that too. Are you starting to get a picture of how frustrated we are becoming? lol. She just slinks away at all our attempts so far.
  8. Another problem we had with the trap was keeping an eye on it. It cost too much money to leave unattended so it was watched, from a distance, and we think this may have put her off also. She would crane her neck inside to reach the food, but never enough to set the trap off. Dropping the door manually would also not have worked, she wasn't far enough in the trap to jump forward and we would have blown our chances. I'm in Wigan. If any of you chaps are close enough and able to give any help - I would be very grateful.
  9. She's a lurcher. She is hiding in a very wooded area close to an estate but won't venture near the estate unfortunately, preferring the safety offered by the dense coverage. It helps her but really hinders us. We did know where she was bedding down, but heavy rain has caused her to move to a different area. I'm no tracker lol I just know where she keeps coming for the food we leave her.
  10. She won't fit in a fox cage. She wouldn't enter the dog trap to release the pedal mechanism.
  11. Looks ideal Thanks. Any UK stockists or chaps with experience using one?
  12. Before peeps read this and think anti or against snaring, that isn't the point of this post. What I am looking for is a possible snare to capture a dog. She has been roaming in a small are for over 2 weeks now. No one can get close enough to her to catch her - she is very nervous and slinks away into heavy under growth. We tried a trap, but the smart girl wouldn't go in. We know she is staying close, eating food regularly put out for her. She watches it placed, watches us walk away and then eats it. We can see her eating it. Is there a trap/snare that can possibly be used
  13. Rough coated lurcher bitch weaton colour found in Wigan. pm for more.
  14. nice pus Not sure what a pus is? Have seen Tia on the track, she shifts.
  15. Just what the world needs!! Another litter of Staffs
  16. so i can safely say you do not believe you should be able to treat your property as you see fit, and that we should have the moral's of the government of the time imprinted onto our human right's. thanks for clarifying. Scothunter - hats off to you. Even in plain English he just doesn't get it! Flump, you are an animal activists wet dream.
  17. Then I am shocked by your lack of morality.
  18. If the run like Tia they will be bloomin fast
  19. Not at all. What a huge leap to make!! Respect is a simple right. Respect for the quarry is the same as respect for the life. Or how you take that life. While those puppies were the property (hopefully) of that girl, and she has the right to dispose of them, cull them, and even drown them, if she sees fit. That is one huge leap to playing frisbee with them in a river. You talk of charities or organisations being given high powers and responsibilities, but it is such acts of unnecessary cruelty that you appear to endorse that would make it so.
  20. Again, you put the assumption that an animal thinks like us, or rather, to have rights, it must follow the same laws and thinking we do. You are trying to place morals on an animal whose life is run, not by morals, but by simple requirements of survival. The rights of an animal are imposed by us, are placed by our own morals - not the animals - and it lowers us as human beings to try to pretend that isn't the case. Using the excuse that they do not understand their rights does not mean they are not entitled to them.
