Dog owners of Warwick district make a stand

[Image: 2159457473.jpg]

Around 150 dog owners took to the streets of Leamington last Saturday to protest against proposed control orders which they say are unfair and unneccessary.

Warwick District Council wants to impose further restrictions on the areas where people can take their dogs off the lead and to introduce stricter measures to prevent fouling in public places.

A public consultation on the matter has now ended, but campaigners organised a peaceful protest around Christchurch Gardens and the town centre to demonstrate how strongly they feel - and managed to gather an extra 400 signatures to a petition against the proposals.

Kate Pittel, who is standing for election as a district councillor on the issue, said: “Considering it was Easter weekend, we had a really good turnout. We had a consistent crowd all day.

“The atmosphere was really good. One of the other organisers said it was like a cross between a picnic, a peaceful protest and Crufts.”

She added: “A lot of people were interested to know what their ward councillors felt. I think it’s going to have an impact on how people vote.

“This issue has been gathering pace really furiously, so I’m not surprised at the amount of interest shown.

“I am optimistic that the proposals are going to be amended, although many of us would like them to be scrapped completely because they are not necessary.”

Cllr Michael Coker (Con, Kenilworth Abbey), responsible for issues to do with the environment, made an appearance towards the end of the protest. He said: “It has been pointed out that there is a clause in the council’s policy that could be interpreted to mean the council could extend an order without further consultation. There is no such intention. If it is so, that is something that will be rectified.

“What I want to make absolutely clear, is that there is no party line on this. It’s a consultation and in that respect, everybody’s opinions will be listened to.”

The district council’s executive committee is due to discuss the matter on June 8 and a decision will be made by the full council on June 29.

CALGARY — Searchers have found the pet dog that survived unharmed following a plane crash in Yoho National Park that killed its owner.

Parks Canada employees found Rusty, a six-year-old border collie, a short distance from the mountainside where Ed Fedaj died when his single-engine plane crashed Wednesday afternoon.

Fedaj, 59, was flying home to Williams Lake, B.C. after visiting relatives in southern Alberta.

The dog will live with Fedaj's younger brother, Ted.

"There's not a scratch on him," Ted said from the family's farm near Champion, 80 kilometres southeast of Calgary.

Searchers found Fedaj's Cessna 180 at an elevation of about 1,500 metres on the side of Mount King, near Golden, B.C.

Authorities quickly removed Fedaj's body due to a high avalanche risk, but were unable to follow tracks leading away from the wreckage to find Rusty before leaving the scene.

The dog's survival is a small blessing amid the family's mourning for Fedaj, whom Ted called "the nicest guy you ever saw."

The brothers were partners in the family farm near Champion, and expanded their business about a decade ago by buying a ranch near Williams Lake.

Fedaj ran the ranch until a few years ago, when both brothers decided to retire. Fedaj took up flying and acquired his pilot's licence about four years ago.

About two years ago, he bought the Cessna, which he kept at an airstrip in Springhouse, near Williams Lake.

"He loved to fly and he loved life," Ted said.

The B.C. Coroners Service and the federal Transportation Safety Board are investigating the crash, but haven't determined what caused it.

Man Hurled Neighbor's Dog In Street Following Fight Over Poop

FRANKLIN SQUARE, N.Y. (PIX11)— A Long Island man was arrested and charged with animal torture after he hurled his neighbor's dachshund 10 feet into the air and onto the street following an argument, police said.

According to authorities, Jaime Sanchez, 56, of Franklin Square lost his cool during a heated exchange with a neighbor Saturday after she allegedly let her 1-year-old pup defecate on Sanchez's lawn.

At first Sanchez threatened to unleash his own dog on the neighbor and her dachshund named Coco, but things soon escalated when the neighbor countered with calling police.

Nassau County police said Sanchez grabbed Coco and threw her in the street. The dog suffered injuries to its tail and stitches from a recent surgery opened up, police said.

Sanchez was charged with torturing animals and reckless endangerment to property. He pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Sunday.

He is due back in court Wednesday

  Channel 4 Pet Detectives Are Kidnappers
Posted by: Dante - 03-04-2011 12:27 PM - Replies (14)

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...mbush.html

Quote:When professional dog walker Aneta Fairbairn Millward received a phone call from a woman claiming to be interested in using her services and asking to meet her in the local park, she thought nothing of it.

But when she arrived for the meeting, she found herself at the centre of an ambush by a Channel 4 crew which filmed the dog she was walking, a black labrador named Bella, being snatched by a self-styled ‘pet detective’.

Bella’s doting owner, Oxford-educated stockbroker Victoria Huxster, has been left distraught by the incident, which took place on Friday in Battersea Park, South-West London. Despite the date, this was no April Fool’s prank.

Why are they getting away with this!

Woman hangs dog for chewing on Bible

A woman in the US state of South Carolina has been charged with animal cruelty after confessing to hanging a dog for chewing on her Bible, claiming God told her to do it.


Spartanburg County animal control officers say Miriam Fowler Smith confessed to hanging the pit bull from a tree using an extension cord and then setting it on fire, describing it as a "devil dog", according to a report by 7 On Your Side News.

She told police officers she killed the dog after it chewed on her Bible and that she was afraid it would bite children in the neighbourhood.

The dog, named Diamond, belonged to Smith's nephew who noticed it was missing when he returned home.

He told police he thought the dog had run away, but when he questioned his aunt she admitted to killing it.

The 65-year-old is facing five years in jail if she is convicted.
