Omg Ziggy Shot, Now A Yorkie, shooting of random pets in neighbourhood Options

[Zita'sMom]

I just went to put a new poster up to "Ziggy's shooter" on the local mailboxes - there are two main mailboxes in our area, three if you go a bit further, and there is another sign. "A Psycho shot our Yorkie".

Apparently the dog was shot in the flank and bled heavily. This is not next door, but in the same rural area. Whoever shot Ziggy is out to kill more pets.

Zita went missing in October and many other signs for missing cats have appeared on mailboxes. I will go to talk to the people with the Yorkie tomorrow and to the constable in charge as well as to the newspapers and television station. I will be posting more flyers.

I can't even express in words how angry, drained, shocked and devastated I am. We live in a very, very dangerous area for our pets and I don't know what to do. My pets are my life!

The extension of our "dream house" on a beautiful acreage has drained us in health, finances and many personal costs/sacrifices, but losing the cats is the absolute worst. Knowing the shooter is out looking for more prey is... oh my God, I am just sick.

We have 5 dogs all rescues, now just one cat (3 dead all under 5 years old since 2006). Our old border collie sometimes gets onto the road. This person / people is sick, sick, sick. I just don't know what to do. Moving is not yet an option because the reno's aren't even complete. This is a total nightmare!

I live in a war zone. Even if we leave, someone is out there shooting innocent pets and other creatures for the pure entertainment of watching an animal fight for it's life... This is not accidental, there is no way a Yorkie looks like a squirrel or a rodent (and shooting them is sick enough as it is).

sick, sick, sick.

My heart hurts. What can I do? This has to stop.

Any local vets should also have this posted in their clinic, as well as being alerted to REPORT any suspect wounds in their patients to the RCMP AND the Provincial SPCA, AND the closest local humane society. These last 2 should have been notified already, too. AND, I just thought of this, but if you could enlist the aid (in whatever way possible) of the Vancouver Humane Society [ VHS ], they might even write about this in both their newsletter and help put the alert out to radio stations or newspapers, as well as possibly having sage advice on what you can do. They are a fabulous grassroots organization overall and do TONS of things to help animals in every sector and not just in BC (though that's where they put the bulk of their efforts, of course).
