Title: Goodbye to gorgeous Simba
Post by: alisonandarchie on June 18, 2013, 22:42:21 PM

My friend's son's gorgeous boy was taken too soon on Sunday by a neighbour's out of control dogs.

I know how much you are missed and RIP beautiful boy :hug: I know you will be waiting for your dear human on the bridge :hug:

Thank you Heather. The police were informed but cannot do anything :( The RSPCA are being contacted. The neighbour is very unsavory but wary of saying more than this :( A petition is underway locally as a result of poor Simba :(

Simba was such a gorgeous boy and could not have been loved any more.

Why cant the police do anything, its really not good enough  :(

There is a law Gill, details of which escape me at the moment, whereby animals are classed differently. For example if you are a driver and hit a dog it's an offence not to report it but it doesn't matter if it is a cat.
That's why they take no notice.
Wrong I know but many of the old laws are.

It is so worrying but I think unless they bite a human :( Neighbours are not letting their children out as they are frightened :(

He stood by and did nothing :'(

I'm going to be a huge snob now so please forgive me but there is a certain type who like a trophy dog and its nothing to do with class, job or anything else other than brain cells which say they need the "muscle " to affirm themselves when it is they who are, by attitude, the lowest common denominator. It truly isn't the dogs fault but that of its owner.

I agree with you Louise, it is not the dogs fault >:(

RIP Simba xx

I am surprised there is nothing the Police can do as cats are classed as property and so in this case property has been damaged

That used to be the case cos dogs were licenced but havent been for a long time.

Agree with Yvonne that under the law cats are classed as property so dont see why the police cannot act now
