| Canine competitor poisoned at Crufts Just saw this on CNN - an Irish Setter that had placed second at Crufts was poisoned. The meat they found upon autopsy had been sewn together so that the poison could not be removed from among the meat. We just have to watch our pups all the time!

| This is when showing and competitivness goes careening out of control and flies completely off the rails! Think about this for a moment....we have a DOG PERSON, who breeds and shows dogs, and professes to adore the breed, POISONING and KILLING another beautiful example of a stunningly gorgeous breed, who is a competitor in the ring! OMG!!!! That poor, beautiful dog, just doing what its owner asked it to do, show itself to the best of its ability, and you have some crazy, screwed up *&%%$#@ slipping it poisoned meat !!!! What a horrific, painful death for a completely innocent dog.......SHOCK AND AWE!!! |

| Unthinkable act of evil by some depraved nutcase freak of a creature! What a horrible death for any dog, be they gorgeous show dog or all-world mixture. No dog should have to die this way - his organs failing one by one from poison, especially one working hard for his owner, in that show at his bidding and last seen well entertaining doglovers, leaving them all smiling and happy because they got to see and appreciate him. Hope they find the rat who did this and give his owner 5 minutes alone with them before they go to jail. That poor, sweet baby - gone far too soon.

| Just can't fathom this! Is this behavior that occurred due showing becomes a major BUSINESS ?!? Clearly, cameras are going to be needed in all benched areas in future shows to protect this innocent and loving pups , who, as Yorkiemom said, were just doing their job and trying to please their owner.

| So horrible to happen to any dog. What the heck is wrong with people these days? I hope they find this crazy person.

| I'm deeply saddened by the loss of this beautiful dog and for the grief of Jagger's owners. This is such a despicable act, and I hope the laws in Belgium are tough on whoever committed this terrible crime.

| Absolutely disgusting.... Thing is, at the moment, they're not sure whether it was a fellow competitor or a member of the general public.... The NEC in Birmingham is a huuuuge place - and there is CCTV in most parts of it. The Police, along with our Kennel Club, are currently trawling through it all. Will keep you updated as and when I hear anything else.... xx

| So sad I can hardly believe that someone would intentionally do this to that beautiful dog. My heart aches for the owners, and all the Showing Community that must be stunned by this.

| OMG! What a hateful, depraved thing to do. I hope this sicko is caught and receives a stiff fine and sentence. I feel so sad for this poor dog and owner.
