CRUEL B#####D

[tote 856]

This is Jamiedan Flyer

 

 

 

 

Sadly he will not enjoy a retirement because he was put to sleep on the 8th July. He was found screaming in pain after being shot in the temple by an airgun and thrown into a gully near Dalrymple, Ayrshire. He had his last race at Ayr Greyhound Stadium only hours earlier. Our thanks go to the vet who ended Jamiedan Flyers suffering and to Ayr track management who are helping us in every possible way.

 

 

The above was on a greyhond forum yesterday.How could anyone do that,I hope the

relevant authorities get the b#####d that did this and deal with them severley.

 

Ffs it is now 2007 and we still have people doing this

What goes around comes around

 

Unfortuantly this is oh too common in the racing industry - my reason exactly for having a retired Greyhound.Dogs who dont make the grade or get injured or simply slow down are very often shot,drowed,battered,hung,dumped ect the good owners and trainers will often try and rehome.

My Greyhounds littermate Simply Sapphire was found in spain along with 300 other Greyhounds living in a 5 foot cage - fortunatly she was rescued by ScoobyMedina a Spanish rescue and i often get email updates about her but shes still looking for a loving home. 12 littermates - 2 accounted for...says it all im afraid

 

Run like the wind now little fella

I have no problem whatsoever with retired greyhounds/lurchers, any working dog being pts after their usefullness has ended. It is usually the more responsible owners of such dogs who do it. My reasoning being, if they are humanely pts then they will never be passed from pillar to post or suffer at the hands of idiots who will do the type of thing done to this poor animal. Dont get me wrong i am all for rescue's, my lurcher dog came from a rescue but realistically not every single greyhound can be rehomed at the rate they are failed/retired from racing.

I personally think it is up to the racing industry to provide some sort of free or cut price service to have them pts properly. I know this will not help dogs used primarily for flapping tracks etc but would be a huge step forward. Plus tighter restrictions/registers need to be made for tracking tattooed dogs. The last known owner should be made accountable for its demise and should be made to prove it was humanely pts with a document from a vet. If you can trace a bloody cow or sheep from the moment it was born till the place, time of death then surely it can be done for a greyhound?

Poor dog.....no need

This is the story that was in the Scottish Daily Mail today-

 

A greyhound was shot in the head and dumped in a ditch only hours after losing a race.

 

Jamiedan Flyer came last at a meeting earlier this month, despite being heavily favoured by punters.

 

Later that night, the terrified animal's howls were heard by a couple who later found him lying against a tree in a pool of blood.

A local vet was called in an attempt to help the dog, but it was so badly injured it had to be put down.

 

Last night vet Lorna Lazenby said she was disgusted when she arrived to help the stricken animal as it lay in the ditch near Dalrymple, Ayrshire.

 

She said "when I got there, the dog was in real distress and was howling-he was completely put of it. All he had was a little hole in his temple, as if he had been shot by an airgun, and there was alot of blood.

 

It was so sad because there was nothing I could do to halp him. I was just glad I was able to ease his suffering and put him down."

 

Later the dog was identified as Jamiedean Flyerfrom a tattoo on his ear and it emerged that he came last at Ayr greyhound stadium on July 8th.

 

An insider at the track said "There had been heavy betting on the dog and a lot of money was lost. There were rumours this was going to happen and everyone at the track was disgustedwhen we found out what had happened."

 

Alan Shaw, the owner of the dog, has since been banned from racing at Ayr.

 

Outside his home in Dalrymple yesterday ,construction worker Mr Shaw said he only had the dog for a couple of weeks and sold it after the race.

He added "I was sickened when I found out what had happened to him. The only reason I sold him was because I was building a new shed in my back garden to keep my greyhounds."

 

Mr Shaw refused to reveal to whom he sold the animal.

 

A spokesman at the track confirmed that all of Mr Shaw's dogs had been banned from future race cards pending further inquiry.

 

It is now feared the remote spot in South Ayrshire has been used as anexecution site for failed racing dogs over a long period of time.

 

Days after the attack, workers at Greyhound Rescue Scotland found the remains of a second dog lying just a few hundred yards away at the bottom of the same ditch.

 

Charity worker Carol Scott said "It looks like this dog had also been taken to this ditch to be killed and that it died the same way. It was found further down and close to a stream, as if it had been crawling to get a drink of water.

 

We work so hard to rehome greyhounds and most owners will work with us to get their dogs a good home when their racing days are over.

 

It is very distressing that some owners cannot work with us .or even have their dogs put down humanely."

 

A spokesman for the SSPCA said it could not take any action because the body of the dog had been disposed ofbefore a post mortem examination could be carried out.

 

He added "In any potential case of animal cruelty, we would advise that the body is kept as evidence. Unfortunately the police advised the vet to dispose of the body and there was nothing further we could do."

 

Charities estimate that thousands of greyhouinds are killed every year they outlive their racing usefulness.

i personally have four rescued lurcher's/Grey's and i can see the need to have a dog put to sleep for business reasons or otherwise although its sad that thousands of dogs end there life being put to sleep for no reason other than their not earning there keep i would rather that they were put to sleep than abused if i had my way i would find the b*****d that did this and shoot him in the temple if you have to dispose of a dog do the f*****g job properly

Im not after f*****g respect by no f****r (cudnt give 2 flying fucks if anyone respects me or dont to be honest) - and was not slating greyhound racing instead slating the sick fuckers who do this - and yes it is OFTEN very f*****g OFTEN esp in Spain!!!!!

If if happens once which unforutantly we all know it dosnt then im sorry but it is ONCE TOO OFTEN!

Rarley - often - daily - only once in the history of mankind - still too OFTEN!

 

For the record the vet investigated the ditch further and found in there was the decomposed remains of yet another Greyhound who faced a simelar sticky end.

Might be very rarely where you come from but certainly is not here H&J.

I think FD has had alot of imput into greyhound rescue and may have more knowledge than you do of these things happening?

 

My local dog warden informed me he cannot keep up with the amount of dogs dumped over the sea cliffs at the local flap track with one or more ears removed. And i have found at least 4 washed up along the river and sea edge.

My father used to work for the council refuse dept. Have you ever smelled a dog after it has been weighted then thrown in the river, a smell he will never forget.

 

No-one is trying to bring the greyhound world into disrespect, but as with all forms of animal activities, you will get cruel b*****ds who do this type of thing without any thought.

However you never hear about the greater % of good owners, they dont sell newspapers.

MOLL.

[FastDogz 155]

I know the feeling Molly of coming across them washed up...it isnt nice. I myself not last winter but the one before was walking my hounds on the beach and came across a washed up dog skull going by the length and shape of the skull it is onlt a Greyhound i could match it to - stupidly i called police,enviromental health ect but no one wanted to know - nowt much they could do have done like but...i dunno.

 

And you have such a better way of putting things across than me
