Wishaw
Glen Glitz N Glamour (AKA Glam), a pretty palomino & white filly, was born on the 2nd of October 2009. She was
a magnificent little filly by Bankstream Pintalong out of Roleena BZ Shonna.
Pippy
(Wishaw Glen Simply Irresistible) an amazing little black buckskin and white filly was born on the 16th of April 2009 to her
mother Wishaw Glen Silver Lining.
Tragically
on the 5th of February 2010 they were brutally attacked and mauled by 2 savage dogs at Bargo whilst
they were away from our home farm in the Southern Highlands. The surrounding neighbours helped to chase
off the dogs and try and save my 3 ponies Pippy, Glam & Kally (Domino Downs Kahlua N Cream). When we got to Glam
she was already gone, however Pippy was still alive but barely. We called the vets from Cobbitty Uni to try and
save Pippy. They arrived quickly and did their best but sadly Pippy's injuries were far too extensive and we had to make
the heartbreaking decision to put her to sleep.
Kally
I think being a stallion must have been far more aggressive and managed to hold them off, as he only had a few minor cuts
and scratchs. The neighbours told me how he bravley tried to deffend Pippy putting her in the corner and himself infront
of her between her and the dogs. He just couldn't protect her and him self, but he loyally did his best.
I
just seems so unfair that our beautiful, happy, little girls died because of someone else’s negligents in not containing
their savage dogs. As angry and as upset as we were, our anger was only heighted when the council ranger and police finally
arrived and explained to us that even though there was no doubt the dogs had committed this crime and they were aware of where
they lived and who owned them, that they did not have the legal power to seize the dogs and have them destroyed. The law protects
the savage dogs and their owners, stating that the dogs need to reoffend a second time before they have the legal right to
seize and destroy them.
The
dog owners told us they didn't want to know about our problems or what their dogs had done. We were utterly devastated to
say the least.
Our
beautiful princesses know that we love you always; we will never forget you and we will fight to the end for your justice.
Your
lives here with us were cut unfairly short, but my darlings enjoy your everlasting lives in the big paddock in the sky. I
know the Lord will take care of you until the day we meet again.
Farewell
my babies, rest in peace.
