Slaughter of the innocents.

As some of you may remember, we had our dogs taken from us by the OSPCA during an incident at our home. I have been trying to do all I can to get them back but the OSPCA has not returned phonecalls and would not tell us what we needed to do to satisfy them. If you believe that the OSPCA is against the pit bull ban, you are greatly mistaken. I have just received a letter from their lawyer informing us that all of our dogs have been killed. I am devastated.
RIP
June Bug 6 yrs
Trey 4 yrs
Knuckles 2 1/4 yrs
Buckshot 2 yrs
Mona and Fiona 18 months
Crossroads 17 months
Crystal and Zena 11 months
Simco and Mountain 8 months
Mattawa 14 weeks
Hannima 12 weeks
and a litter of 12-5 week old pups

They said they were a danger to humans and domestic animals
They also said they had "reason to believe they were fighting dogs
Shame on them, they were quality show dogs, but they took all our paperwork that we had to prove it so. We were left with no evidence to show them different so they killed them all. I will miss you my babies. And you will be always in my heart.

So now....The Battle Begins. We are launching a civil suit against them. We will get satisfaction on this issue. They were so wrong to do what they did, and to not give us a fair chance to save our dogs.
All of our animals were healthy and cared for. They were in above standard houses with clean areas and fresh water. They were well socialized and have NEVER been involved in any incident that would show them to be dangerous.

I used to believe in what the OSPCA stood for. I believe that no animal deserves to be mistreated. I worked at the OSPCA as thier canine rehabilitation supervisor and fought for every dog that came in to be given a fair chance.But my babe's didn't get a chance, because of thier breed.

Damn them. I'm dying inside, I held most of these dogs on the day they were born. I changed Trey from a timid, frightened dog at 8 months, to an dog that would smile and wave his paw at me every time he saw me. How could they do this. Sorry, have to stop...can't see the keyboard anymore...damn them...

 

OMG, I am so sorry for your loss. Now I can't stop crying. Good luck in your civil suit. Again, I am so sorry for your loss. Words cannot express how sad I am right now that they did this to your poor innocent pups.

 

DryCreek, There are no words... I'm so sorry for you. RIP Family.

 

if there is anything anyone can do to help you, just let us know... i'm so sorry for your loss...

 

Yes, If there is anything that anyone can do just let us know. I will be happy to help in any way I can.

 

I'm sorry to hear you lost your dogs. If I might ask, what brought the OSPCA to your home? Maybe we might be able to learn something from this.

Regards,

B

 

What a tragedy. I'm sorry you lost all your dogs just like that. What made them believe they were fighting dogs, were they scarred up at all?

 

What brought this on? if it helps this never happen again sharing is worth the pain..
nothing i say will make this right. i feel for you and wouldnt wish this on anyone. May your soul find peace.

 

that put a knot in my gut, and a tear to my eye thinking if that were happening to me. If i lost my yard.. i dont know what i;d do...

my heart goes out to you and your family

 

Damn, that is terrible. I am sorry and I hope that you are able to win the case since you already lost so much.

 

The OSPCA removed our dogs at the request of the police so they could safely execute a search warrant. A (former) friend, who was staying with us till he could find a place that would allow him to keep his dogs, shot a gun over the head of some tresspassers and they called the police. There was nothing wrong with our dogs. 1 had some scarring from a kennel accident but the rest were clean. Only 3 were over 2 years old. We also had a slatmill. They found a pair of used breaking sticks(the ones used to seperate the dogs when the kennel accident happened).

Our (former) friend also had his 14 dogs on our yard as well. Some of his were scarred and his 2 house dogs were attack trained.(IDIOT). We met this guy through a kennel club and he seemed alright. It was one of his dogs that caused the kennel accident. My husband and I were talking about asking him to leave just before this happened.
Now, because of his idiotic behavior, my dog are dead. I have never in my life had such a hate on for someone till now. I hope he rots in jail for a long time.

But the OSPCA would not allow me to identify which dogs belonged to me, and which were his. I would like to know if his dogs were euth'd as well. If they weren't....Oh Boy will the shit fly.

A couple of our dogs were canine aggressive but that is a trait of this breed that we accept. They were always kept apart from each other. But not once has any of our dogs been aggressive to people. I would not keep a dangerous dog. How could they kill a litter of pups that weren't even weaned yet. How dangerous are they? Our dogs were healthy and clean. We had wormed and vaccinated the day before this happened. I'm going to have a hard time controlling myself if I see any of the OSPCA employee's when I'm out and about. And our former friend had best not show his face around me again. I am so angry and hurt, I can't even begin to describe how I feel.

 

sorry...about that, I donno what I was thinking...

apbtwizard.. I think Dry Creek could do without the one sided media bs right now..for crying out loud, regardless.. her dogs were put down..

and seal..whenever is the media 100% correct??

 

r.i.p to the animals

 

Thanks....
Do not believe the media hype. The area residents were not searching for a lost dog, they were harvesting their plants that were on the property next door. Their dog came on our property and created a ruckus that caused our guest and I to go check the dogs.(One kennel accident a year is enough)
My husband wasn't home, our guest was the only one to chase anyone, I went back to the house to wait for my husband once I knew all the dogs were okay.. The plant and puppy count was way off. We had a few around the dogs. The rest were the ones the "victims" were picking. I'm an epileptic, and my husband grows a few plants every years so I can have meds that don't cause side effect. Big deal. My husband came home to this mess and went out to talk to the police and was arrested on the spot. As soon as I heard the police calling, I left the house and was arrested. The STANDOFF was our guest and his friend not coming out of the house when asked to by the police. If you believe everything you read in the paper, you would NOT own these dogs.

Thanks rocksteady.....It really was a screwed up situation that has caused me much stress and grief. Was it my fault....NO. I don't think a few plants is grounds for killing my dogs. It was the idiot with the guns,which my husband and I knew nothing about,that caused all this grief. And beleive me, my husband has apologized countless times for allowing this idiot to stay at our house. But he wasn't even home!

 

Sorry for your loss. I can't imagine or even begin to imagine how that must feel. I wish you the best of luck in your fight for their misfortune.

 

yep quick way to make anything worse is add guns and yes i can understand your "produce" being around the house. The dogs being put down was Harsh and cruel again sorry for your loss.

 

I'm so very sorry that you and your family have to go through this terrible time. Peace be with you. Rest in peace, pups.

 

Sorry for your loss. Good luck on your law suit. I hope you win.
