A farmer has been fined £500 for docking the tails of five Jack Russell puppies. Let's hope the SSPCA are similarly keen on prosecuting those who mistreat greys in their care... Cheers, Graham

Fife Council To Stop Handing Out Free Poop Bags
(Preview)
The BBC is reporting that Fife council are planning to scrap their "free poop bags for your dog" scheme, presumably to save the 40 grand it costs them each year. Personally, I think that's nuts. It works and it costs peanuts, so why scrap it? Cheers, Graham

Man Guilty of "Sickening" Attack on Dog
(Preview)
Not for the faint of heart, I'm afraid. There was some chat about this at the time, but the BBC is now reporting that a man has been found guilty of attacking a ****er spaniel on Cramond beach. I fear the sentence will be too lenient, but at least someone's followed this one through. Cheers, Graham

Please help the galgos

The treatment of the galgos in Spain is absoloutly horrific. They are completely expendable to the hunters who starve and beat them during their short lives only to kill them in what seem to be increasingly cruel and drawn out ways once the hunting season ends.
