Labradoodle shot dead

A white miniature labradoodle was shot dead on Monday afternoon (around 1pm) while being walked at Birkrigg Common, Little Urswick, near Ulverstone. The weapon used may have been a shotgun, fired from the window of a vehicle and there is no obvious motive for the shooting.

Cumbria Police are seeking information on what may have been a random killing, in particular from anyone who might have seen a white transit van or Landrover stopping near the car park.

Telephone 101 with any information.

What the shot gun?

Maybe he was really aiming at the man walking the dog.

Either that or just a random act done for the amusement of some very, very sick person who'd got a shotgun for Christmas.

A drive by on a dog? Weird...

I though the post was going to be about another dog chasing sheep and shot by the farmer.

How terrible and bizarre! I know what I'd do to the person responsible but I won't say, I might get banned.
