Some of us know about this....a so-called AR activists homed a Cairn Terrier who had been rescued. This pisshead was unable to cope with the rescued dog's behaviour or looking after him and instead of ringing another activist to rehome him or rehoming him sensibly herself...claimed that the dog had "growled at her" and called the POLICE!. 7 {so I'm told} coppers turned up and took the dog away. The dog was declared "dangerous" and killed. The woman is a disgrace!
