Very very sad news for me

[Jaws]

I don't have any words for this cruelty. I've always loved every animal I've owned like a member of the family since I was born. I can't imagine what amount of rage I would be feeling in your shoes but I can assure you it wouldn't be pretty. If I did ever determine the person who did something like that to my animal I can assure you I wouldn't be so nice to end their life so quickly with something like a gun. My utmost condolences and I hope you do whatever you can to find and punish the person responsible.

Sorry to hear about your pup Ruth.. I know you looked far and wide for just the right little girl too.
May she rest in peace..

Sorry to here about your loss Ruth. It always amazes me how heartless people can be. All my best to you at this sad time.

Thank you so much everyone for your support, caring and kind words. After spending all day today thinking about it more and screwing up my resolve I decided to take your advise and go into the police station to report this with enough composure that I was sure I wouldn't just dissolve into a bawling mess. So I get to the station at 5pm and they are closed except for emergencies - which of course it is to me but I didn't think it would qualify. So I will be going in first thing tomorrow morning.

I can tell you at this point there isn't much they will be able to do but still report it, you never know.. what should have happened is you called them in as soon as you saw what happened, before anything was disturbed..

I had a dog that was shot by a neighboring farmer once.. I had no idea what the dog was up to as he was well behaved as far as I knew but I guess he was raiding chickens at night..

If I lived closer, I'd offer a different brand of justice. You don't want this guy living next to you, and there are ways to encourage a move.
I don't know if the RCMP knocking on his door will help matters, make sure everyone around you knows about this tragedy, Karma works much faster that way.

Very sorry to hear about your loss.

I don't thing the RCMP will be able to do much either,but I think just having the situation on record may help.This sort of thing sticks in a persons mind,and if/when the samething happens again later a conection can be made.Cops can be pretty good at putting the scews to someone when they don't have solid proof,but know they are guilty.

Wow, you would think that if someone had a problem with your pets they would have told you or tried to catch the dog and send it to the animal shelter. Shooting and killing a pet is a criminal act and you should report it.
