All these shared missing dogs posts on Facebook

[QOD]

Are they stolen to be sold? The fighting bait awfulness?
Just seems to be endless "stolen from my garden"
Surely they don't sell for much? Even the pedigree ones?

This is very disturbing

Despicable. If you're vulnerable and they have snatched your dog, there's little you can do. I have started walking my dogs with one of those cameras that cyclist use.
