wymberley Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Nothing. Farmer wanted to warn me that we've got dog baiting/fighting in a copse on the farm boundary. One elderly lady heard the row, called from the bottom of her garden, was approached and it was explained that the proceedings had nothing to do with her and she should go away: You can imagine the terminology used. Frightened the poor old soul to death. Her neighbour called the police who responded quite quickly but the ******** scarpered. No doubt they'll be back. Think I'm going to use a blue filter on the 170! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 wouldn't it be a little odd dog fighting without a crowd, sure they aren't on badgers or the likes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Yes, I agree, that sounds more like they are digging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyb Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) We had them dog fighting on one of my farms, several transit fans and on lookers. Not to mention the dead dog they left behind! Edited June 30, 2010 by garyb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) Both badger digging and dog fighting appear to me to be incredibly moronic pastimes. How dumb do you have to be to get any pleasure from either? Edited June 30, 2010 by mick miller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadkill Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) i once found a dog in a sack that looked like it had been in a fight , poor thing .

Dougy Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 The sad thing is with most of these type of scum, the majority of the dogs used for dog fights were more than likely pets taken from loving family's this also goes with badger baiters. I hope if they do return they get there punishment. and more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wymberley Posted July 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 wouldn't it be a little odd dog fighting without a crowd, sure they aren't on badgers or the likes Yep, you may well be right. I went to have a shufti but took the springer with me and was faced with a corner of long seedy uncut grass. As I'd just paid the vet a fortune to operate for an ear infection I didn't want to risk it so I'll try again today without dog.

al4x Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Its well worth finding out as if there is any evidence of digging etc you need it recorded in case anyone else thinks its you or the farmer doing it. Dog fighting is highly organised and usually done for money but they usually do it inside in almost custom built arenas to stop the dogs getting out. Whichever way they all deserve a HV to the bonce and disposing of with an extra long reach JCB as deep as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazza Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Anybody ever stop to think they where digging foxes? Why do people always assume it's badger baiting? If it was dog fighting/badger baiting I take it you found a pit or such like to contain the animals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wymberley Posted July 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Hi, OK, finally got to the bottom of it. Turns out a couple of young local wannabe hard nuts were "strenthening the dogs" by pulling them off the ground with one end of a rope in their jaws with the rope going over a branch. Made hell of a din apparently. When they scarpered they left the rope behind which one came back for yesterday and couldn't find it. What he wasn't going to do to the same old biddy (90+) who just happened to be in the garden if he found out that she'd taken it doesn't bear thinking about. Will have to do a few nights rabbiting in the area but I think the farmer has it sorted; he's moved a herd of stroppy Aberdeen bullocks into the field where the copse is.

wymberley Posted July 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 So it wasn't dog fighters or badger baiters, it was a couple of kids messing about with their dogs If that's what you call two 25 (ish) year olds threatening to set a couple of Rottweilers onto a ninety year old lady, then yes. You'll forgive me if I beg to differ. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 When you said young I assumed teenagers. I wouldn't call 25 yr old men 'young'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
