“one of our dogs got attacked by a Staff in selsdon woods, the owner had it on a string thick lead which it broke through, the owner said he had never done it before and couldn't get it off my dog

We ran to the vets spending hundreds and the staff owner wandered off, no details, no offer to fund the vet, no sorry

Then we understand the Staff owner's kid has been telling other kids at school that our dog attacked them, even with our 9 witnesses we were walking with.

The police did nothing, the dog warden, don't bother, they won't

If this happens to you then ignore the helpful tips like a finger in the staff's bum, etc to unlock the jaw, yank the front legs apart tearing a main artery, the staff won't be an issue within 90 seconds

We worked out who the Staff was, it belongs to the family in Osward with the kid in the wheelchair, watch out for his dog though, its a massive *******”

“Marie, Thanks for the up date. two and a half years is a long time. But as you say Richie is doing something with his time, and not sitting there blaming the world for his mistakes, He will be nice and clean by the time he comes out and will have realized that he doesn't need any stimulants in his life. wish you both well, keep us up dated every now and then?”

“Yes i must say the owners are responsible for these dogs and most that i have met are more terrifying than the dog itself ! So yes i put my hands up and appologise to those who are good owners with nice Staffies ! Hi tbabygib, Ritchie has been given 4 yrs but is serving 2 and a half which gives him chance to reflect on his behaviour and hopefully turn his life around ! He is currently waiting to start a course the prison service provides but saying that i still think rehab would have been a better option to address his problems long term !”

“Got to agree there tbabygib, devil owners is more the word, who haven't a clue how to look after dogs. And yes, in a public place all dogs should be kept on lead. :)”

“marie1968, I don't think that was a fair statement, About Staffie's, What happened to your cat, where was the Dogs owner? Hope you procecuted. My Staffie, is the most loving girl you could come across. But, I never let her off her lead and have made sure the fence's are in good repair. so I know where she is at all times. You really can not Tar all the Staf's with the same brush, It's down to the owners, Not the Dog. (By the way, How is Ritchie Doing?)”

“Oh yes i agree a fox will dig up a cats corpse it happened to one of ours but that's just the natural food chain easy meal for a fox !”

“This is extremly rare,i have eight cats and they sit with the foxes outside my house no problems,also recently i saved a fox who had been run over and took her home to wait for the RSPCA,my cats curled up next to the Vixen to keep her warm ! I would guess it was more like a dog who was responsible such as a Staf.my elderly cat was picked up and shaken by one of these devil dogs whilst relaxing on the front door mat she was lucky to servive !”

“I reckon a dead cat of 17 doesn't catch much to be honest

Perhaps Mange,

Has anyone considered that the foxes were working for the ghosts of 17 years of small wildlife, out for revenge?”

“We have a dog. I goes out on a lead or in the car. We know where it is 24 hours a day and we know what it is doing most of the time. It is a member of the family. It eats anything ..... anytime. I understand dogs. They are pets

I don't understand cats. They brush up against you purring and when you tickle their tummy they slash your arm to shreds. You know where they are for a couple of hours a day and most of the time you don't know where they are or what they are doing. Most cat owners don't use a litter tray - they don't need to as their cat sh*ts in a neighbour's garden. Your cat comes back (sometimes) to be fed and then turns its nose up at the salmon or tuna. sometimes when it comes back it brings an almost dead bird to play with, or a frog. Cats are not pets.”

“this poor cat was cut down in its prime, it had at least another 40 years ahead of it !
You say what now, old age

Is this story how the woman thinks or is it a very badly made report written by someone who doesn't understand cats lifescales, old age, foxes eating meat etc?”
