♥ Catherine My Love ♥ Donating Member | Disturbing News out of Belleville, IL I just got the following email from a member of our local AKC club, addressed to all members of our club - thought I would pass along: This was just forwarded to me and evidently did happen at the Belleville shows this last weekend: <<<<<<<<By the way, this is a warning to all who show ? at the show this weekend (Belleville, Illinois) put antifreeze in water dishes when dogs were out being shown. The handlers noticed the pink color (they said it looked like Kool-Aid) and changed the water, discovering by the odd smell what it was. It was announced over the loudspeaker to not put your dogs into their crates without checking water dishes first. Lots of people immediately took their dogs out and locked them in motor homes. We just decided that one of us would be guarding the crates at all times from now on. I am furious about it. They are sick people. This has been verified by other people who are members of the club. Watch your dogs at all shows.

| That is very very scary. I hope no show dog was hurt during that prank. What has this world come to when you can't turn your back for a second.

| As much as I hate PETA, I can't believe this. They would very well kill off all humans before they would try to harm or kill animals. I bet some other terrorist group did this and claimed they were with PETA.

| PETA "claims" to care about animals. But when you look at some of the things they have done or want to do, you see they lack common sense of any kind. By the way, that wasn't a "prank." It was a criminal act.

| I'm not a fan of PETA, but I'd be very surprised if this is true.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | We have members here of all sorts of different groups and we will not allow them to be denigrated or labeled. The group of which you are speaking does not in any way support that which you are describing. In fact, it has been said that these may be 1) mere rumors which are invented to create anti-animal-welfare momentum and/or 2) indeed true, but are done BY the very groups who claim someone else is responsible, again to create anti-animal-welfare momentum. Either way, this thread is closed - unless you have video footage that shows us a verifiable person from a certain organization who is adding a chemical to this water. If you do, please PM us and we will review re-opening this type of thread. Thank you. Edited to add: please also provide us the police report, and the lab who tested the water that confirmed the presence of anti-freeze. Also, just want to add this rumor has been circulating for, what, 3-4 years now...? I think this is its 4th time 'round now, here at YT.
