Is this a drugs bust or a dogs bust?
Derek and Davinia who live a few doors down were on the receiving end of a police raid in the early hours of Sunday morning. As far as I knew, Derek was a petty criminal but he's kept himself out of trouble for about two years. I was very surprised to find that they'd been busted for dealing drugs because as a curtain twitcher, I've never really noticed anything untoward happening around their house.Well it turns out that the police didn't find any drugs but what they did find were pets; Derek and Davinia's two dogs. The family pets were confiscated and destroyed under the dangerous dogs act because the police said that they were illegal Pitbull terriers which are bred for fighting.
I found this news to be quite sad. I completely understand the reason behind having a law against dangerous dogs. But I also believe that a dog can be trained to become dangerous so the dog's behaviour depends very much upon the owners. The police's
reason for raiding Derek and Davinia's house was for drugs and for them to leave the premises with the pets and then have them destroyed seems rather heart-less considering the dogs have been harmless all the years I've seen them around. They've been well looked after, friendly, quite happy dogs. What a shame for them to be put down simply because of their breed and nothing to do with their behaviour!

I would just die if the police took my pitbulls away. The press have been stupid about this subject because pitbulls are faithful well behaved and obedient dogs. They're so obedient that they'll obey their owners when their owners encourage them to do bad things. It's such a shame that people don't see pitbulls for what they are. They're good dogs. Sometimes with bad oweners.
Great writing August. Keep it going. You keep me going. I read a lot of Funny too! Your diary entries over the years r g8 and it's facinating. Totally rivetting stuff.

What a Sad Story, I've got a Pitbull, Sage, and he's the best dog in the world. The police are wicked sometimes.

Damn this is a crazy story.. and not to mention I am a Derek as well,, seems like we all have a brushing or two with the law but I hope he is okay... Its crazy that they can come in your house like that I think there should be a law for that stuff they had to have done something other then drugs.. sounds like there was another issue unless the police made a mistake and they got the wrong address.. Someone better watch out! It has happened here in USA! a lot someone dont have the address posted on the front of there house and that is all it takes!
It's a shocking story and if anyone came into my house and took my dog, I'd never get over it.
