Killer dogs tracked down

Published Date: 06 October 2008

POLICE have found the two dogs they believe are responsible for a string of pet killings across Halifax.

Their owners may face court.

Police do not have the power to seize the dogs but say their owners have pledged to keep them indoors.

Sergeant Brian Parker said: "Because of help from the public we have been able to identify the dogs.

"Hopefully this will be the end of the pet killings."

Slaughtered pets – rabbits and guinea pigs – have been reported across Halifax over the last three months.

In total, 17 pets fell victim to the killers.

Attacks have been reported in Wheatley, Pellon, Highroad Well, Norton Tower and Warley, with hutches and pet runs covered in bite marks.

The full article contains 122 words and appears in Evening Courier newspaper.

what a joke, I agree with the above, do they have to kill a child? the sad thing is, they probably will before it is looked into again. Yeah sure the owners will keep them indoors, they've done a great job so far!

The dogs are obviously a danger to other creatures and possibly humans, they must be destroyed before they kill a child. May the blood be on your hands!

So who are they?
Identify these owners!

Then perhaps all the owners who have suffered loss can go around, perhaps the useless owners of these dogs can explain to all the upset kids why their pets were torn apart.

Scratters!

Farang if you are insinuating that this is the Police not doing enough, can I just point out to you that it is Westminster that decides the powers the Police have to act upon. The question is why do we have politicians!
