"We will certainly take any lessons we can get from this process and make sure we put them in place so this sort of thing never happens again," he said.

What? like don't leave animal's in a f*cking hot car?

Yeah, apparently they're "devastated". Aww poor didums. If it were anyone else they'd be arrested, bet this guy gets off scott free though

I watched the news item on this , the RSPCA are helping the police with their investigation ,
if it was anyone on here they would be prosecuting them along side the police . It f*cking
stinks , those dogs suffered before they died !!! it also seems the dogs were donated by
the public , well i hope they dont donate anymore . The f*cking thoughtless sh*t for brains prick
that left them should be sacked and prosecuted , but we know that aint going to happen cos
they wont even name him , Wankers !!!

I heard the story on the radio last night
The thing that galls me is that I've seen the rozzers break a car window to get dogs out that have been left in cars by the owner (Some random episode of Road Wars or Police Stop)

Thats not cool.

I saw it online, find whoever's responsible and lock them in a hot car for a couple of hours

Couldn't agree more

Barstewards probably having time off with pay cos of being 'devastated'

whoever was stupid enough to do this deserves to be charged and prosecuted and i know that they will be devastated by this but they're trained to handle the dogs professionally ...... i'm not and i know that leaving my dog a sealed car for even 10 mins is seriously dangerous

I was rendered speechless with rage when I saw the news. Still don't trust myself to talk about it.

Apparently it was an off duty handler who had popped in the station for something.
Not the first time the rozzers have made a poor dog suffer, there was a greyhound handed in to a station in the borders somewhere that had strayed.
They put the poor thing in their kennels and forgot about him until they smelt something funny nine days later.
Their defence was that as greyhounds rarely bark, no-one had heard it and so thought the block was empty.
His name was Bushmills Major.
Northampton police also found a dog straying and alerted the owner. Whilst waiting for the owners to arrive, they let it out in the "secure compund" for a run and it vanished and has never been found.

The fuzz rep at the press conference even had the cheek to say the cops were short on alsatians

[Doggy]

You couldn't make it up...

further developments

part of me thinks "i should bloody well think so" the other part of me thinks ....."i wonder how they'll get out of this one then"

The person concerned should have the book thrown at them!

A professional handler should have more sense/caring attitude to their dog, my dog is my best pal and is one of the family, I couldn't imagine hurting him or putting him in danger like that.

Some of you know that I take my dog to work with me, I have windows open so that he can hang his head out and has plenty of ventilation and water.
