Were there any Muhammadans at the show?

Did Tonya Harding have a dog in the show?

[Sarah Barracuda]

Anyone that could do that to a dog is evil, plain and simple, pure evil

[Jack Hydrazine]

Maybe someone slipped him a Mickey?

[rabidralph]

What a sweet face. Poor thing.

[Raycpa]

Insurance fraud gone awry?

You might think it’s just a dog show, but for some competitors it is their whole life. They are hurt financially and emotionally when they don’t win. Within certain, and perhaps all breeds, there are very heated rivalries. It is common at the show grounds to set up your area, put the dogs in their crates, and then go off to do other things. There are often vendors to be shopped and friends to visit with. And I have heard of a kennel’s entire set of breeding dogs, perhaps 4 to 6 dogs, being poisoned and killed. We neverleft a dog unattended when we were showing.

Sometimes you hear things that make you hate people. This is one of them.

Russian competitors in the show?

[trisham]

Well said, Roos Girl. We never leave our dogs unattended either.

[nomad]

Poor boy, hope he didn`t suffer.

[trisham]

I hear you.

Evil people are everywhere. Neighbors have done this to other neighbors pets, done to husbands, wives, biz associates, on and on.

Ya gotta be careful of who ya might piss off.

[Ditter]

Heart breaking! It seems like it would be pretty easy to figure out who did it or had it done. Someone who was showing the same breed of dog. Maybe you would never be able to charge the perp with anything but they could be watched carefully after wards.

“He had enough in his system to kill a horse, according to the vet,” said Millington-Bott, who is at a loss to explain why Jagger was targeted: “We can’t fathom why anyone would do this.”

Really?

I know nothing about dog shows, and the reason it happened is obvious. Some insane liberal owner or trainer "leveled" the playing field, in the inimitable way that they know so well.

Many people claim that no dog is worth a human life. I disagree categorically. If that moral zero can so casually kill a dog, its next victim can easily be another human being.

The first thing I teach my dog is: no eating without my or other family member’s permission. Taught by wieners in the yard—never to be eaten. Only problem is when he is left at the vet’s clinic, he tends to get hungry...too bad to lose a beautiful animal in such a mean way!

If she did, Milo Skinner was showing it for her.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

Probably didn’t happen at the show. Wouldn’t find beef cubes in the stomach 12-24 hours later. Trace back previous 6 hours.
