A classmate of mine told me at school today that her pit was STOLEN out of her own backyard over the weekend... I know last week she caught some guys in the act of trying to steal him but her boyfriend came out with a shotgun and threatened to shoot them for trespassing, and of course they ran like mad...
I guess a family member didn't know not to leave him outside unsupervised, and within five minutes he was gone... my friend was at the store at the time.
She called the cops... and they pretty much told her it wasn't worth their time and they have more important things to worry about. Well I can't believe what is more important than ILLEGAL DOG FIGHTING!!!!!!!!!
I am FURIOUS that they won't do anything!!!
In the meantime she has put up posters offering a reward of $10,000 (yes, you read that correctly -- $10,000!!!!). It's half of her boyfriend's life savings, and the way she reasoned was they have to offer a bigger reward than the dog would be worth fighting.
I told her she needs to call the local Animal Control, all the local shelters, and the Humane Society of Missouri because they have a close-knit relationship with the police department about cases like this.
I'm just FURIOUS that someone was WATCHING them for the split second they weren't looking to steal him... he wouldn't hurt anyone either, this dog is as sweet as can be unless you're a stranger trying to cut him loose of his tie and trespassing in his yard...
Please everyone keep my friend and Abel in your thoughts that he returns home safely and that the police actually get off their lazy butts AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!!!!!!
