So, 2 days ago my missus witness something shocking.
It has rocked her to the extent that she will not walk our 8kg Cavoodle in the National Park.
She met a dog coming bounding towards her and her dog on Sunday, it came up, licked and sniffed our dog... was friendly as.
It was a Greyhound.
She told me when she came home that it scared her but she met the owners, it was a sweet dog and the owners were beautiful people.
I asked did if it had a green collar, Yep... I told her its a GAP SA dog, good with people and animals.
Next day, Monday.
She seen the same bloke without his missus, let the dog off the lead again... Belair NP (No dogs off lead)
Which I have had a few dingers with people over the years about, some nearly at fists.
It ran in and scattered a mob of about 30 kangaroos.
My missus walked on up the hill trying to stay away from it.
Next thing, the dog appears out of the long grass at the top of the hill with a joey in its mouth.
Sets the joey down and starts panting.
My missus calls the owner, he walks up the hill, the dog looks up, the joey jumps, the dog smashes the joey for a second time and shakes it like a rag doll, my missus says she can hear the bones breaking.
The owner comes up, says 'oh bad dog' and clips the green lead on it.
I have now reported this to GAPSA and NP's.
I had a call and email from GAPSA (Greyhounds as pets) South Australia.
National Parks manager has called 3 times and text 6-8 times, he is going to get a statement from my missus in the next few days.
I guided him towards the body of the joey but it was gone... probably my fault for posting on a community page which received 100 angry faces.
I was trying to flush the chunt out, someone fucking knows him, he's a local... get a fucking lead on that dog.
Its not the dogs fault, he's an ex-racing Greyhound, he's only doing what he was brought up to do. Its the irresponsible owner, taking an ex-racing Greyhound into a National Park with mobs of roos everywhere and letting it run free... what the fuck did he think would happen ? Is he allowing the dog to fulfil old traits ? Is he happy for it to kill ?
Its a $300 fine for a dog off lead.
GAPSA are really concerned and going to refer it to animal welfare... which means they take that Green Collar award seriously.
Parks SA are raging, looking for evidence and trying to work out who he is.
I fucked up by posting it on the local Community Page.
When the head Parks Ranger went up to gather evidence, the roo was gone... probably due to my shaming post. I was trying to 'out' the bloke and stop him releasing the dog, killing native Fauna.
May have worked.
I've went in looking for him 2 nights in a row now with no luck.
Who the fuck lets an ex-racing Greyhound off the lead in a NP with mobs of roos everywhere... irresponsible chunt !
