The sooner wulfies take over the planet and start dishing out their revenge, the better.

Good on you anyway Apey.
Just such a shame it came to nothing, but at least you and the tourist tried. angel1

You've got a kind and caring streak hiding behind that seemingly gruff exterior. Nice one, and most comendable.:thumbsup:

We have his collar. It has a reference number on it instead of ID tag so we think it has got out of the animal sanctuary. Will have to chase it up incase there is an owner missing him.

Every time there is a poisoned animal taken to our vet they send out a group message to warn us where there is poison. When you get multiple messages a day from them it is heartbreaking and disgusting.

That is so sad... sad24:

Well done for trying to help.  I echo what others have said ghastly experience for you both.  Despicable behaviour from whoever did it.  Force feeding them some of their own poison might be an option if you ever get hold of him.

Not to detract in any way from the horror of this incident, but the assumption is that the poor dog was deliberately poisoned.
I don't know the general practice in Cyprus, but my experience of hot countries was that rats are a big problem and the poison put down for them often found its way into hapless dogs.  noooo:

It is complicated Darwin...

Farmers use poison (Lanate) to kill the foxes and dogs that attack their goats and sheep. The dogs often having been let free by owners that simply don't want them...

So sometimes people out walking their dogs have them poisoned by the meat left out by farmers...

But pet dogs are also poisoned at home - by meat thrown into the garden. My mate's (and next-but-two neighbour) two dogs were poisoned in the garden while we were there - it was ghastly...

It is quite a frequent occurrence...

God knows what goes through the minds of people that would put an animal through such a terrible ordeal...  noooo:

Understood. As I said I don't know the local practices.

Sheep/goat protection is a problem everywhere but a remote injection of lead is the usual answer, and very quick.

Indeed...

Problem here is that the sheep/goat roam over a vast area... They don't keep them penned "because it is easier to steal them all" and of course they don't have to feed them if they are helping themselves to everything in my garden...

Lead injection and freezer in that case.  whistle:
