Dying Greyhound found in Ayrshire.

Indiana · Guru

It just makes me so upset to hear stories like this. If I could get hold of the person responsible I'd fire an airgun at their head and other areas besides.

I can't find the story on flappersdream website - any chance you could cut and paste it here? Thanks

It beggars belief! It's enough to break your heart. That poor dog. I'd love to be able to be a vigilante - legally!!! furious cry furious

The heading for the story on the Flappersdream website about the dying Greyhound found in Ayrshire is "Do you like these pictures"? Hope this is of help. Regards,Maureen.

This is shocking. I am so upset hearing about this poor animal.
It is not so far from my neck of the woods in Ayrshire. Hope they get the scumbags.

what a thoroughly depressing website, particularly the dogs wanted section, you can really see the importance place on the greyhounds wanted e.g 'Greyhound wanted, must be cheap'! furious

Radio Scotland should be covering this story in their Scotland Live program, starting at noon today.

Cheers,

Yes I know Louise, I am originally from Glasgow and have been in Ayrshire for 10 years now. There are many nice decent people in Ayrshire, but unfortunately too many ned's. Sometimes, it's the way it goes in these old mining villages A lot of these wee villages thrived on the dog racing, but however, many often neglected and mistreated their dogs. Scum of the earth.

I work in prestwick, and apparently another greyhound's been found. This one was half decomposed. Found in same area seemingly. Hopefully the idiots who do this kinda thing are stupid enough to leave clues as o who they are.

Poor doggy - it didnt' deserve that fate (neither did the other one)! cry

Whatever these scumbags get (assuming they get them) won't be what they truly deserve. furious

I couldn't agree more. cry

I plucked up the courage to have a look and what I saw disturbed me greatly. The ads looking for dogs for "a bit of fun" and that it didn't matter how they did worries me - what happens when the "fun" wears off and the bills still come in? Where do the dogs end up then? hmm

I'd like to think that they'd become pets - here's hoping anyway.

The pictures were truly shocking and heartbreaking. Life seems to be way too cheap as far as greys are concerned - certainly on there! furious

This is so sad, that poor dog and the others before it. Why are humans so cruel, animals kill to eat , it makes you wonder who are the animals? furious

It never fails to shock me that people are capable of being so cruel. Poor dogs - they suffered so much. I hope whoever is responsible gets what's coming to him - in spades!

Isn't it a bit suspicious, though, that the man who apparently sold the dog, was banned from racing his dogs in Ayr recently?

That is absolutely appaling to say the least.
The scumbag who did this to that poor dog should be given the same treatment.

I certainly think the owner was involved in doing this to the dog.

It makes me sick to the stomach.

When you see it costs nothing to place a 'Free Advert' it is very easy for some scum to place an add, then tell the police they sold the dog. This leaves them free to dispose of the dog any way they please, and I'm sure they take pleasure in the dosposal of the dog, just as much as they enjoyed it's suffering while it was in their 'care' furious

I hope the courts see them for the sick individuals that they are, and treat them accordingly. (Fat chance !)

Well said, couldn't agree more Anne.

I have actually been having a good look at the flappersdream website. I was very curious and wanted to get into the "Nitty Gritty" of the site. To be able to get into certain areas of the site I had to register. I am pleasantly surprised.
The majority of the people on the site are furious and want to kill the B******, that did this to poor "Jamiedan Flyer" It makes really interesting reading.
The site is not all bad. Some decent folk on there.
They seem to tolerate "greygirl", which is Carol Scott of Greyhound Rescue Scotland and they know full well who she is. They seem to be on her side and agree with her stance on Greyhound welfare.
