Puppy dies after being dumped in Holmer Green

4:53pm Monday 8th March 2010 in


A PUPPY aged less than a week old has died after being dumped in a cardboard box in Holmer Green.

The Dark Brindle puppy was one of four to be found by the RSPCA after being dumped some time between 3 pm-6.05pm on Tuesday March 2.

It died at around 7.30pm last night while in the care of a vet.

The dogs were discovered in a cardboard box which was open at the top and had no paper or bedding in it.

The RSPCA today launched an appeal for information to trace the person who abandoned the puppies.

Chief Inspector Rob Skinner told the Bucks Free Press: “This was a terrible thing to do. One of the puppies has died and it could possibly have been saved if they had gone to the RSPCA or a vet rather than dumping them on a doorstep on a freezing cold night.”

He said the animals, which were estimated to be five or six days old when found, were being hand-reared by volunteers from the South Bucks Branch of the RSPCA after being treated and checked by vets at the Crossroads surgery in High Wycombe.

Anyone with information on who owned the puppies and dumped them can contact investigating RSPCA Inspector Martin Rivett on 03001234999.

Treat the scum that did this in the same way. Dump them in a box in the woods and see how they like it.

Infant abandonment isnt exclusive to humans animals do it all the time.Now I dont know the reason for this case maybe lack of room or finances brings on this decision. Now that leaves 2 reasons for not going to proper organisations. they believe they will be charged or they have other issues to hide.So is there a charge,is there confidentiality and how do you go about it.we need these answers because it needs addressing and it will happen again.Bad they didnt have a blanket though

ANYONE who is cruel to animals should be banned from ever keeping them again. End.

You can take any animal to a vet or a rescue centre if you can no longer care for it. There is no excuse for this type of action, however, I suppose it's better than putting them in a sack and dumping them in the river.
.
If the owners couldn't afford to neuter their dog then the PDSA and the RSPCA would have helped, they only needed to pick up the phone and ask. There is no excuse for ignorance and if they couldn't afford to neuter, vaccinate and insure their dog then they shouldn't have one in the first place.
.
Nobody has the right to have an animal, it's a responsibility which sadly too many people forget.

I agree melanie, however it does seem that people that think they have a right to an animal do not have to address much to get one.the cost of care and emotional responcibility only become relevant when its too late.
To obtain say a cat from an organised agency involves home visits, a fee and follow up checks.These checks are not required in adverts or street corner deals.There in lays the problem. No checks required and teenage lads strolling along with a set of teeth on a lead is the result.Poor animal probably living under the stairs and goes crazy at any visitor or knock on the door. These animals were not dumped or abandoned but I bet they wish they were

Make an example of the gits to send out a clear messgae that this will not be tolerated. I'm fed up with hearing about children, animals and the elderly being abused in whatever form. I'm even more fed up with hearing that hoodies can do whatever they want and that the judges are too idiotic to make an example. We need tough sentencing. If there aren't enough prisons, make the prisoners build their own, preferably on a remote island.

The big problem with dogs is that a lot of idiots think that it's easy to make money from a litter of puppies and forget the fact that the dam will need extra (good quality food), worming etc and the puppies will also need a vet check and worming before they can be (responsibly) sold and that's always supposing that they can give birth without the attention of a vet.
.
Then you have the numpties that believe that no female cat or dog should be neutered before they've had a litter of puppies or kittens and the real eejuts who believe that if you neuter a male dog you take away it's personality...

Well pennman we can all live in our ivory tower and at dusk hope all the trouble is gone by dawn,and maybe it is. But the new dawn brings the same problems. The problem with your one remedy suits all, is that there will always be someone you want in prison, someone at the bottom. you cant keep raising the bar.Better that people dont go over it, by use of education and information. confront the problem dont sweep it away

do both, but start with the prison as an immediate deterrant.

It is easily available to all, unfortunately some people are too pig ignorant to ask or look for it or even to accept help when it is offered.
.
In the USA (not that I look to them for much useful information normally) they have discovered a direct correlation with people who mistreat their animals often mistreating their children. To that end if social services are aware of children being in danger and there are pets in the house then they inform the local animal welfare group and vice versa.

I've just seen the news and apparently every dog owner in Britain is going to be made to have insurance for their dog, to help combat the amounts of attacks on people by dangerous dogs.
.
Is this on top of the insurance that I currently have? How will it be enforced?
.
I have 3 cats and a dog, all of which are neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and insured. My dog has never hurt anyone and is almost 12years old. I wouldn't have a problem with having more controls if I actually believed that they would help but the people that have dangerous, aggressive, out of control dogs are not the sort of people that would be worried about whether or not they have a insurance. So is this just another tax on the innocent, law abiding dog owner whose dogs are unlikely to be troublesome?

Exactly Melanie.
And similar to car insurance, it will be the ne'r do wells who have no intention of paying up whose dogs will continue to attack.
The real animal lovers will pay up meekly and stick to the law.

We know the time, and day, but we arnt told WHERE these poor animals were left. It may help to know just incase anyone saw anything suspicious.
