Fransisco,

We lost 4 dogs in 2 poisons - not good at all. The last time my nfavourite dog died in my arms. I won't blink an eye to kill the idiot who put out the poison.

If I can only catch them while they are doing it. They will definitely not see another sunrise.

They are more than pets, they are your family... I also found out that many other dogs were poisoned last night in the street alone... Thanks for the kind words and the same to all of you who have gone through the same. It is just amazing how fast the poison works... within 5minutes..

Yes we were taking the dogs with us to the farm so let them out of the car so they can do their business etc. Then helped load the last few things so closed them in the courtyard where the female chow was. She started throwing up, my male husky licked it up and I didn't see it. Closed him in the house and raced the chow to the vet. While there Riana called and said she was bringing him in as we well...the little one got it while with sambuka in the car.

Aaaaarrrrrrgggggggghhhhh... this sucks!

All the best with your family pets Francisco, I really hope and pray they recover fully!

Doen mense dit met die doel om die honde stil te maak sodat hulle kan inbreuk, of is dit omdat die honde raas.
Ek neem aan met die plaas is daar nie nabye inwoners wat sal kla oor n geblaf nie so daar moet seker n plan agter die storie wees.

Jammer om te hoor.

I may not publicly say what I privately think, but those swines who poison dogs will not have any future in my eyes if caught. A long, slow death would still be too good for them.

Condolences to you and others, Francisco.

Hi Francisco. Sorry to hear of your troubles. Great to hear your kids are on the mend. Just be aware that a break is on the cards. That's why they did it. I feel for you.

Post by **Family_Dog** » Sat May 12, 2012 8:04 pm

Glad to hear the good news! I bet the little one is getting plenty of attention tonight! ;)

Eish! So sorry to read this! Have as yet not had that experience but it's in the back of my mind all he time as I half anticipate such an attempt.

Hope all goes well with your 'children'.

SORRY to hear !

Do you suspect this was done by "criminal elements" or is it just possible that the dogs barking might have kept the neighbours awake once too often ? Sadly dogs and neighbours often result in lots of fights ....

just to be CLEAR - I am also a dog person !! Just wondering what led to this ...

Post by **cheetah** » Sun May 13, 2012 12:16 pm

Sad to hear about dogs or any other animals that was poisened.

Our Alaskan Malamute/Wolf was poisened on 10/05/12 on Thursday morning.
We still sad as a family but rat poisen was the cause.
So I know how you all feel very sad.......

I doubt it was any neighbours as all have dogs in the street front and back. We spoke with neighbours and found out that at least 4 houses further up also had the sane fate... :evil:

What ever the reason was my dogs are back at home. Sambuka is walking funny and is extremely lazy but his muscles took a bad knock but will come right with time. Poison used was "2 sterp".

So very sorry to hear that your dog children have been poisoned. I just get soooo mad. :evil: :evil: :evil: Was worried about one of my boxers this morning because she was also off colour thought she might have suffered the same fate, but fortunately improved later in the day.... My dogs sleep in the house and spend most of the day around me in the house, but they wake me at about 6 to let them out and I thought she might have got some poison then... Apparently poisoned food is just thrown over the walls at houses.. so think when I let them out from now on I am going go outside with them to make sure there is no foreign food on the property...

From all the replies above it would appear so.

BUT WHY ???

Criminals poisoning a dog to get into a yard a bad enough. Bad blood between neighbours ... uhm ja .... BUT, to just poison for the sake of killing animals .... GRRRR !!!!!

Ali3n · Post by **Ali3n** » Sun May 13, 2012 11:19 pm

I doubt it is just for the sake of killing. By us it is for silencing the dogs to break in, if not by you then by your neigbours.

They broke in by my in laws in Sep 2010 and again Nov 2010. Been quiet since and now all of a sudden again. They are just petty thieves looking for a quick buck.

So sorry to about your ordeal...A mate of mine (vet) deals with this daily. Very traumatic on all involved and extremely inhumane on the animals...

So if you ever do find out who it was

They broke in at in-laws this morning. :evil: Broke / Removed the slabs of the wall so the electric fence would not be triggered, completely destroyed the patio door and dragged and pushed the old people around in the house. They are okay at least... Took hand bag and jewelry and fled. On our way there now... :evil:

AAAAAAAIIIIIIII !!!!!!

Saw a house a while back where the guy did the wall and electric fence thing, THEN about 1m GAP, and then another fence. I believe he even has an array of motion sensors .... They cant get to the "inner security" without getting over the outer wall, by which time they active the motion sensors.

At the time is seemed "over the top" ..... looking at this post it again reminds us why we live in our own prisons .....

Thank goodness it is not that bad in the Cape.

Thanks everyone...

I just got home now after fixing the door which they completely destroyed, replaced the precast wall and built a new security gate for the passage. My b-i-l installed a motion sensor at the door where they came in and they are comeing to install the ir beems during the week. :evil:

Sorry to hear about their ordeal. Glad they were not physically harmed and pray that the emotional part will heal promptly.

Ali3n · Post by **Ali3n** » Mon May 21, 2012 9:36 am

This is how it all happened. Some might know how my in-laws yard looks.

At the back of the yard behind the flat they removed 3 slabs from the wall so they can enter the yard through the bottom of the electric fence. They walked around the house past the pool to the big folding solid wood door by the braai area. This door I put 2 extra sliding locks in, 1 at the top and one at the bottom. Unfortunately the bottom one was removed due to it being a bit difficult to lock and unlock for the old people. This wooden door is reinforced with steel rods inside the wood so you can’t just break the wood… They used a dropper (Steel Rod) and a chisel to break the main door lock. Must have taken quite some time to do… Once the lock broke they found out that the sliding lock at the top was there which made the alarm not go off. They forced the bottom of the door open past the stem and forced it down unhooking the lock at the top. That is when the alarm went off. They ran into the house and my f-i-l went down the passage and saw the flash lights coming up the passage. They pushed him out of the way and went straight to the master bedroom. Opened all the drawers where my m-i-l was still in bed. They were just shouting “Phones, Phones”. Didn’t get anything and grabbed her out of bed and dragged her down the passage and out the door they came in, grabbing her around the neck. Once outside he started searching her and his hands were all over her and under her clothes, she managed to break away and ran back inside the house, into one of the rooms and closed the door. They then left and EPR arrived. All they got was her handbag with R100 inside, cards, ID and drivers license. Makes one sick to think of how easy it was for them and what they did. Luckily they got away without any major physical wounds except a broken finger for my m-i-l. I can’t even begin to imagine what the people who aren’t so lucky to get away with their lives had to go through… They are animals… I am forever greatfull that even though this is the 3rd time, they are okay… My heart goes out to all who are not so lucky…
