Burglars kill family dog during raid
BURGLARS killed a family pet dog during a raid on a house in Hampshire.
Police today appealed for information after the Border Collie called Red was fatally struck over the head.
The burglary happened at a house in Gilbert Street, Ropley, at sometime between 9.30pm on Thursday, November 22 and 8am the next morning.
The offenders went to the garage and forced open the doors. Red, aged one year, was in her kennel outside the garage and was hit with a heavy object causing fatal injuries.
The dog was found by a family member the following morning. She was taken to the vet where she was put down because of her injuries.
The offenders left empty handed.
PC Emma Purser, said: “The family are devastated by the loss of their much-loved family pet, Red. She had been bred by the owner and was expected to eventually be put to work on the family farm, herding sheep.
“The family are shocked and distressed by the callous and brutal attack on this defenceless creature, who was chained to her kennel outside the garage and posed no risk to the offenders.”
Anyone with any information should contact the Priority Crime Team at North Walls police station on 101 or call Crimestoppers, the charity, anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Is it appropriate to start your electioneering on a story about a family that has just lost their beloved pet? I dont think so.
Furthermore, if indeed UKIP are the "Liberatarian" party that they make out then you should welcome all comments. Only those that dont or course sit at odds with your comical "Libertarian" views such as doubling prison places, a "permanant" stop on immigration for 5 years ?, and a view that teachers are actually indoctrinating their pupils in a massive programme of national self-abasement.
Your party seems to have moved closer to Mr Griffins organisation both in terms extreme viewpoint and stupidity.
If you have a political point to make, do so in the appropriate forum.

Why not the same outcry - they are all sentient beings.
Out of sight, out of mind?

There is already a reward out for information leading to a conviction on these low life scum.
