What a truly horrible thing to have happened. Poor wee Bear. I hope Wilma reappears soon and you can get her safely back with the other girls. My heart's aching just thinking about it.
 
HUGS

I am very sorry; we lost some of our piggies to a neighbour's dog that burrowed under the fence and then broken into what we though was a safe run when I was a teenager. I sincerely hope that Wilma will turn up again!
 
so sorry to hear about the terrible news, how awful for you.

Firstly dont bother with the rspca, its not a welfare issue so they will do nothing, the police may log a crime number but with little evidence there is nothing they can do, but would be worth at least having a chat with someone down the station.

Secondly get incontact with your local dog warden (if you have one), and the council, it IS an offense to allow a dog to roam the streets, but as it happened on public property the current law is a little shakey regarding dog offenses on private property, but it would have had to cross public property to get into yours so it has committed the offense of being dangerously out of control in a public place as is stated in the 1991 dangerous dogs act. The original act before it was amended does cover private property but this would involve solicitors etc so think the council would be your best bet.

Whether the dog is the same one you think it is, there is a dog loose on the streets and it needs to be dealt with so at least you can pursue this and maybe the council will find the dogs owner, a loose dog could cause a road accident (as well as all sorts of hazzards and environmental health issues). Maybe they will have better fencing, if its rented property you could tackle the landlord, if its owned then you may have a battle on your hands.

so sorry this happened
 
So sorry this happened to you. :0
My moms two pet chickens were killed by a couple of wolfxdogs last fall. They got loose from their house and managed to get into the coop the girls were in and killed them while my mom was running errands. They came back while she was sitting in the garden crying and she managed to chase them away. There wasn't anything dog control or anyone else could do. The owner did come by and apologized and gave her money for the girls. He was really shook up about it all.
 
Thankyou all again for the support it means a lot to know so many people understand how upsetting this is. :(

I just hope they can live a safe and happy life. I have lost most hope I had of Wilma returning as this is now the second night :/ I just simply cannot understand where she is. I would have thought being a guinea-pig she would have run to the nearest place she could find cover and stayed there, it's in their nature! But no sign.

The owner also said that she has been checking the dogs poo and there has been nothing unusual in it such as bones hair or teeth.... :/ Unexplainable! :(

Still hasn't quite set in that they aren't coming back....
 
OMG my heart goes out to you sweetie, whee are so sorry to hear about darling Bear and Wilma 8...8...8...
RIP Bear and Wilma run free at the bridge, enjoy noming on lovely long blades of grass and lots of sweet carrot tops, and have fun together popcorning thru the lush green meadows, you'll be so very sadly missed by your devastated mummy and family and little friends but NEVER EVER forgotten xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) and loads of loves from Glynis, Velvet and Onyx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Two little stars now twinkling in the sky ......... :(



Love i've been sitting at my desk sobbing..... HUGE HUGS XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Bear and Wilma were two beautiful piggies i'm sure someone lovely is looking after them for you at the bridge XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 
oh my god this is absolutely horrendous :0:0:0

I can only echo what other people have said and say I am SO, SO, sorry this has happened to you and your precious pigs (may they rest in peace happily over the bridge). I cannot imagine what you must be going through, you have all my thoughts and sympathy at the moment *hugs* :(
 
checking the poo is no good, they are not owls. You wont know if the dog did the deed or not other than finding anything left over I am afraid
 
It makes me so annoyed that some people don't seem to bother about the security of their pets. Some people shouldn't be allowed pets, I hate seeing stories like this - it's so sad. People should have to prove they can keep animals secure before they take them home. Hopefully them putting up better fences will stop it happening again but still an awful thing to happen for them to have to take note.

I really feel for you, you must be devastated. Fingers crossed there is still hope for Wilma and your other piggies are recovering from the shock.

Sorry for being a little ranting - I agree with you, you had done so much to secure and care for your pigs that it's devastating it happened.
 
This is awful. I can't offer any advice other than what has already been said, but just wanted to say how sorry I am for your losses x
 
Thankyou again, I have been for another look around the neighbourhood and in the fields but nothing. I have prayed that they somehow make their way back to me because someone has found their bodies somewhere :/

Putting the boxes in the garden did no good either, but I think I can assume they are both dead now. At the weekend we start putting up another gate :)
 
Just want to say how very sad and sorry I am for your loss, what a terrible, heartbreaking thing to happen. I still hope Wilma will turn up, sending you lots of hugs x
 
I am so so sorry to hear such tragic news. How awful for your babies and you. My thoughts are with you.
 
This is horrific! I'm so sorry that this happened to your two piggies. I really don't know what I'd do if that happened to any of my gang.
Sending big hugs and I echo what others have posted that Wilma might return home or be found x
 
Just wanted to say I'm so sorry for your loss what a terrible thing to have to go through.
Xx
