Is anyone following the story of the rescued and badly injured Foxhound on facebook?

Not a fan of Many Tears I'm afraid, heard too many dodgy stories about them. Surely the logical thing is to contact local hunts, but as samlf says, it would spoil the story if they found the hunt that owned her wouldn't it.

Ets. Just looked at the facebook page, I'm sorry but that poor dog should be pts not put through surgery and no doubt weeks of rehabilitation. :(

Yes I guess they haven't contacted because they know the hunt would (probably quite rightly) PTS.

I'm surprised that they haven't pulled the 'so and so hunt lost her and abandoned her and would shoot her' line though. But yes, I too am no great fan of them.

Ive put this link on as the other doesnt work, Im amazed they have got NF involved but Im sure its to get more publicity and thus more donations. I agree from the photos it does look like a foxhound and if it survives will not make a good pet, they will spend all this money on a dog that will be difficult to rehome but ignore the fact dogs are pts in pounds every day as no rescue space. It makes you wonder what drives some of these rescues.

I suggested a few times that local hunts were contacted. This seems to have fallen on deaf ears.

And yes, that poor animal should be pts.
 
A lot of rescues will not contact the hunt, I know this from personal experience. I would not put a dog of mine through that personally, poor girl, but well done to the guys who rescued her and it's up to individuals as to what they want to do to with their own money.
 
It is individuals like this who scare me a bit though

'Just because she may not beable to walk is NO reason to put her down. There are wheels for babies like her
Hive her a chance. Don't give up so easily. You would put your CHILD in a wheel chair.'

Unfortunately for animals there are loads of self indulgent idiots like that in the world.
 
Oh crap, I saw this on a mate's FB and said she should be PTS if her back legs aren't working. Someone said she should be given a chance, but come on, let's not bang on about 'if she were a child'. She's not, she's a dog and quality of life is all important. She should be PTS, not put through the trauma of months of possible recovery. Poor dog. :frown3:

I can't rate Many Tears, not a charity and in an area where there are multiple puppy farms. They take in lots of ex breeders, thereby supporting the puppy farms, I suppose? I just don't think that's very ethical.

Where are the Authorities when they're needed? There's a crime of Stealing by Finding, so why aren't the Police involved? That the poor creature should be allowed to struggle with life in her deplorable state, makes me wonder why the rspca are standing to one side. Did the attending vet recommend euthanasia? If they didn't, why didn't they? For the charity and the vet, it was too much temptation to turn the poor creature in to an income stream, I shouldn't wonder.

As you say Ct, it isn't a child it's an animal and to continue as the charity are, is shameful.

Does that mean that the hound concerned has been returned to her owners?

No Alec. No owners have been found (sought??). I was in contact with the Carmarthenshire hunt yesterday, and it's not one of theirs.

I guess neither the police nor RSPCA are involved as the situation doesn't concern them.

I'd argue that the situation should be the responsibility of both the charity and the Police. Rescuers are being allowed to hide behind a veil of 'Care'. The Rights of both the owner and the hound are being ignored.

Apparently they've raised around £11,000 so far towards this dog. They said she was crying and whining the whole car journey to Fitzpatricks. That poor poor dog.

Can't say I rate many tears, my auntie applied to adopt a dog from them and they are ridiculously strict. She works 3 days a week and the days she works her in laws are in looking after the kids. The reason for refusal was because they didn't want the dog getting confused having different people caring for it as it needed to 'bond with one person'. Laughable.

I can only hope they make the right decision for poor kayak :-(
 
It seems that as long as an animal has a pulse, a vet will try to operate or sell the owner medication. It's about time that vets put animals well being before profit.
 
There is now a really strange update on the facebook page:

We have been asked to share the following statement from Fitzpatrick Referrals.
Fitzpatrick Referrals is now providing all treatment for Kayak free of charge and therefore no fundraising is required in this regard. Fitzpatrick Referrals will continue to do all they can, however her prognosis remains very guarded. Staff at Fitzpatrick Referrals would like to focus on her welfare rather than constantly answering enquiries and updating social media sites therefore they will make a statement regarding her final outcome in due course.

From Many Tears
Whilst we are delighted with Fitzpatrick Referrals wonderful offer to help Kayak we do appreciate many people have already donated towards her expenses and are asking for constant updates. Fitzpatrick Referrals have specifically asked us not to post anything further about Kayak and we have agreed to respect their wishes, so regretfully we are not able to post further updates about her. Fitzpatrick Referrals have said they will issue a statement with the final outcome, so until we have received this we are unable to give any further updates about her progress.....

It will be interesting to see just how long they mange to keep the poor bitch going for, before considering what's in 'Her best interest'.

£11k? She must have been as Mana from Heaven! :)

With the exception of those who've been gullible enough to donate to and support this shameful episode, and if most, on here anyway, seem to be in agreement that the behaviour of both the 'rescue' and Fitzpatricks, is really only aimed at their own promotion, I wonder where the rspca are now, now that they could present before a Court, the facts.

I farm, and I suspect that the best way for me to avoid the focus of the rspca is to call myself a 'Rescue Centre'. That should do it, I can cause untold suffering and be neglectful of my duty of care, but working on the basis that Dog won't eat Dog, I should be safe!

Alec.
 
Hmm. I had a minor run in with some Fitzpatrick hero worshippers the other day. There was a Northern breed who dislocated his knee (? Did something very serious) and Fitzpatrick was told to PTS because the owner didn't have insurance and couldn't afford the £6 grand fee. He wouldn't and pushed them to operate. They agreed, presumably because they didn't want to be crucified on social media, but who knows the real cost to them? The guy does a few operations a day and charges thousands. I just don't see that it's a good thing to give a cat bionic legs, it's all a bit off, IMO.

I think of the dog cried all the way and couldn't use her back legs, possibly she's really badly injured and should have been PTS. Poor, poor dog. Who the heck are these people who think life is all important and subsequently allow a poor animal to suffer?
