I am a member of a few dog forums, and this was posted on one of them, it is obviously a "cross post", but you will understand why I thought it useful to post it on here. I can see now reason why they would stop at cats either.
If anyone is on Cat Chat, then please could you post it on there for me? Thank you!
Dear Friend of Shrewsbury Park,
one of our members has passed on the following information:
A policeman who works at Plumstead Police Station said that at the moment in London it’s a very dangerous time for small dogs. There’s apparently two major dog fights coming up and they’ve been tipped off that the offenders are taking/stealing small dogs to use as bait to get the smell of the blood into the noses of the fighters!
Keep an eye on your dog.
