Removed #5 Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 If I'm reading that right, they left a leash on the dog after they put him in a holding crate. Asinine!! Maybe it seemed a quick and easy way to have the dog available, but not knowing how the dog would react to being left and tied up - it goes way beyond acceptable practice. Hope his other existing customers teach him that that type of convenience is not acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you finding all these news articles? There seems to be a lot of animal negligence and cruelty going on at the moment. Can't understand it and dont really want to try.

aronoiiel Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Aronoiiel. Where are you finding all these news articles? There seems to be a lot of animal negligence and cruelty going on at the moment. Can't understand it and dont really want to try. unfortunately alot is on my local news Washington is a disgustingly lenient state when it comes to crime I'm sure other states have problems but here it just seems a slap on the wrist or a sweep it under the carpet is more common place than anything. Some of it comes from articles from other sites on my fb from other animal related articles I can stop posting if it's a bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHOST R1D3R Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 shoot me down if you wish BUT i find what she is doing is horrible towards the vet's. she is in one short breath ruined the guys living and wrecked a family life all for the sake of going on the news. he/vets made a mistake and im SURE that they are paying for that mistake nearly as much as she is and it was a horrible accident that could of been prevented but in fairness he has been accident free for over 20 years so his method might be awful to us but they though it was correct.i am sorry for her loss BUT there is a right way and a wrong about doing things and you have to think about your actions and how they will effect others no matter how bad you are feeling. poor end to a dogs life if you feel upset by my comments then im sorry but this is a forums and we are here to voice our opinions and get advice and so on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, it's not bothering me at all, just can't fathom why so many things are happening. Suspect many things are probably going on around me too but I live in ignorant bliss as it's not picked up on or just swept under the carpet. Some peoples attitudes to animals are frankly disgusting!

Marley & Lumikkis Mummy Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 I think she had every right to go to the papers. What the vets did was pure neglect, what sort of idiot leaves a lead on a dog they dont really know whilst it was in a cage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collars generally stay on for safety, though slip collars would usually be removed and replaced by a standard collar, but to leave on a lead is just....well, its just beyond me. Sadly vets, like doctors, are so accountable for their actions. They hold lives in their hands. They mess up a number...a life is lost. What's happened here is appalling. On the one hand she may be going over the top by contacting the papers but.....did the owner herself contact them (journalists are sneaky divils!). On the other hand, if it were my Teeko or Keeta 15 years down the line....well, I just can't comprehend how i'd react! But, it certainly wouldn't be pleasant.

Removed #1 Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 This wasn't a puppy, this was a senior dog...who'd likely been seeing the same vet for a while now. I think part of it's on the owner for not asking questions...you take my dog away and thennnnnnnnnn? No, I'd like to know what you do with my dog when it's put in the back. I'd like to know your procedures...my vet had a practice of leaving a lead on dogs when they put them in the waiting room. I didn't have an issue with this...but they've stopped with Fox because he eats their leashes when they do this. In reality the vet tech is likely to blame, not the vet. There is always option C. It was an accident. If you've been doing something for 20 years and it hasn't been an issue you have all of that experience saying it won't be an issue in the future. As people when things go wrong we need someone to blame...sometimes an accident is just that and blame doesn't need to be put on anyone.
