Gripe Of The Week !!!!!! Help !!!!!

[Daisy and Delilah]

What a crying shame!! I wonder how the owners would like it if they were left without food? I hope they get in big trouble down the line.

Kudos to you for feeding them!!

[Hellow]

Im glad that you fed them. I mean, who would go off on a vacation and leav no food and water for them??? They should be re-homed.

Wom,
I would phone the Ranger again.
I know there are really good rescue groups up in NSW, and they could probably help too.

Good on you for taking care of them.
Those neighbours deserve to be starved!!!

Cheers

wom, call the rangers. it's wrong to leave dogs without food and water.

Call the rangers. Animal control. Get the neighbours DNA tested to see if they really belong in the human gene pool...SHEESH.

And they have TWO dogs now????

One would hope that these idiots had made arrangements to have someone stop in and feed the dogs. I don't call that taking care of animals while they are on vacation, but some people do. Have you seen anyone drop in?

My first response was to tell you to make the doggies go "poof" and find them a good home, but on second thought, they would go out and get two more, yes?

I think you did the right thing, feeding and watering them. I suspect the dogs will survive because of you. POOR DEARS.

People make me so angry some times.

Thanks for taking care of someone else's pets.

Ah...I dunno. I rang the ranger last time when the shepherd got out and was running all over the highway and coming into my backyard terrorising my dog.
When he got home, he simply went to the pound and got his shepherd back. I have no idea if they fined him...I suspect they didn't.
I had a think about it....and don't think I'll go thru the drama again. I'll just feed them everyday till those idiots get back.
I'm 99% sure no-one else is feeding them tho.

Does it have to be a Ranger? Is that the only equivalent to Animal Control there?

At least file a complaint with the appropriate people...or start a neighbourhood picket!

[captain]

Wom,
Here in Victoria, you get fined $ 150.00 each time the dog is taken to the pound. You get 3 chances, after that, they will not give you your dog back.

PLUS, they make you neuter your animal on the 3rd strike. I know in some councils, they neuter the dog on the 1st call!!!!

Kudos to you.

I don't think they do that much here in the rural cities Captain. Up here in Armidale when the uni and private schools empty on holidays, it's like as if everyone else knows everyone. So the system is probably a bit more lenient.
I've discussed this with a few of my other neighbours, they seem to think that if we ring the ranger, all that will happen is that when the creep returns, he will just go get the dog back...without a fine again.
