A second dog is reported to have died after appearing at Crufts, amid fears that at least six of the animals were deliberately poisoned at the world famous show. The shih tzu is believed to have died over the weekend, just hours after the 'murder' of Irish setter Jagger. The three-year-old died on Friday after eating meat which his owners say was laced with poison. Today, Jagger's bereft co-owners are preparing to cremate the prize-winning dog at his rural home in Belgium, before scattering his ashes across a field where he used to love walking. It comes as the show's organisers, the Kennel Club, warned that anyone found putting the dogs' lives at risk could be prosecuted - a crime which can lead to 51 weeks in jail or a £20,000 fine.

Dogs are not people they can not be murdered.
You can call it murder when its your dog, and considered a family member.
Maybe wasn’t dog owner.
Maybe was an “animal rights” supporter.
Thank God this happened in England, where it can be easily solved in one episode.
Clue: Muslims think dogs unclean and our infidel attachment to them disgusting. Britain crawling with Worthy Eastern Gentlemen. Start rounding them up for interrogation. Cut them off the Dole, that will get them talking.
Which religion or culture hates dogs? Which religion or culture is overtaking UK in particular?
Dogs are not people they can not be murdered.

That’s your takeaway from this story? Really?
I guess if we’re gonna split hairs, a dog cannot be a victim of homicide (root of the word is man), but I fail to see that the word murder must, by definition, apply only to humans.
Methinks you have mammothly missed the point. Or can I not use the word mammothly because no mammoths were involved.
Summary of typical animal rights:
Animals have rights. They cannot be owned. This is like slavery. Dog shows exploit these enslaved animals.
Poisoning at a dog show is a protest.
So kill some dogs to free them (typical liberal non-logic).
This had occurred to me as well. There are a lot of these "animal rights" people out there that don't think people should "own" an animal (dog, cat, etc.). I sometimes wonder what they think will happen if dogs just get to run free. Hello, rabid dogs. The little ones killed by the bigger ones. No one to get them shots, so, rabies.
I used to wonder the same things about vegans who won't eat a cow and don't think anyone else should be permitted to do so either. Well, what will happen to all of these cows if they lose their usefulness. No one is going to be taking care of them, they will be killed anyway.
My thoughts exactly. I remember when England had an outbreak of hoof and mouth disease. An animal rights supporter from the USA went there, walked through the manure of an infected farm, then was caught trying to board a plane wearing the same manure laced shoes to bring the disease to the USA.
It would have devastated America's cattle industry.
I have an old book on the winning of the American west.
A photo of two buffalo hunters standing over a slain buffalo are referred to as “the murderers”.
We don’t ‘own’ our cats. We are their staff.
Simplest answers are usually most likely correct. Dog hating camel jockeys is simplest.
The killing of their children had, in the account of God, the guilt of murder, as the offering them to idols had the guilt of idolatry. - Locke.
Slaughter grows murder when it goes too far. - Dryden. v. t. 1. To kill with premediated malice; to kill (a human being) willfully, deliberately, and unlawfully. See Murder, n.
[imp. & p. p. Murdered (mûr"dẽrd); p. pr. & vb. n. Murdering.]
2. To destroy; to put an end to. [Canst thou] murder thy breath in middle of a word? - Shak.
3. To mutilate, spoil, or deform, as if with malice or cruelty; to mangle; as, to murder the king's English.
Yeah, I figured that out later.
And then started to look for even deeper meaning.
IRISH setter -dead
shih tzu -dead
West Highland white terrier -sick
Afghan hound -sick
Was doing OK till I got to Afghan hound.
