In Bristol / Southglos boarder:-

Horse's

All horse's are at risk. I was at a local yard and the fella and his 80yo mother own it. They have 32 horse's there and 3 times the mother has been attacked just to get to the horses, luckly the son, and friends was there all times (This was day light btw!)

Also a few people i know of have had near-nicks, on girl was in the paddock, and these 3 lads, walks in and one pulls her off her pony and 2, held her down, whilst the last one couldn't hold the pony whilst it was bucking.

Dogs.

There is 15 dogs in a month thats been in the local new paper that has gone missing.
Lucky for me my staffy mates people (Females he is kind of ok with)
Once when we was outside the shop, these boys surrounded me and was asking me to let them hold my dog, I thought to myself "like hell you little turnips" and my staffy want
Lol the loud mouth boy nearly lost his arm and they all run.

Other time, we was at the local market and got asked by a stall holder if we would sell him, asked if we would dog fight, ect... ect...

Most are just mouth, and will NOT do anything after...
Other's will nick you dog right infront of you, so please becareful, and make the police warned about every little thing.

Its more dangerous for you, if they know your address.....

i walked to town awhile back,i had the little dogs with me,3 guys came up to the roundabout in a pick up as i was waiting to cross the road,my jack causes quite a stir when we are out as she is so tiny,im always being asked if i want to sell her,i crossed the road and thought no more until they passed me further down the rd,then again,they must have gone right round the roundabout and doubled back,totally unnerved me,the thought of someone taking one of my dogs terrifies me,not knowing where they are or whats happening to them,my heart goes out to those who are in this situation or have been there,its even scarier that they are breaking into houses to take dogs,its the rising price tags that are making them hot property

email from Spike's owner thank you anna for your sympathy,although i did get a lot of help from people with searches and investigations,the police on the other hand failed in every way whom i am now making a complaint against(i am asking for a change in the law regarding the police and their lack of interest in dealings with gypsies)yes i did see spike's body which upset me because i could see what had happened to him.i got spike when he was just 6 weeks old and vowed i would protect him from evil,he only knew love which i suppose made him innocent of life until that day when i took my eyes off him for just 5 mins i failed him.i could never have another a dog because i'm scared incase i fail that innocent animal whom is dependant on it's owner like a child is to it's mother.people don't realise that dogs are like children,i loved my spike like a mother loves her child
thank you lotus(spike's owner

One of my mates had their Staffordshire bull terrier stolen by gypsies in Newbury Berkshire when the funfair was in town. He tied her up outside a shop to go and by some cigs and when he got back his dog was gone. He reported it immediatly to the police and they checked cctv. It clearly showed them taking the dog away but police refused to do anything about it. That just makes me sick. I would never tie my dog up outside anywhere anyway. Shes way too precious to me.

We live in a sick world, with people who don't give a damn, about any animal, and they will keep getting away with it, until people stand up and demand the police do something, I'd like to know, (any police out there) why you won't get involved when it's gypsies
