My Yorkshire Terrier was killed back in June 2017 by a grey Staffordshire Bull Terrier in Richmond Park at 3:00pm. The owner would not destroy it after this senseless and vicious attack.
I took legal action to get it put down so it wouldn't kill another innocent animal or potentially a human ever again!
The owner pleaded guilty and the result was a nominal fine and pretty much a slap on the wrist. To say I am devastated by this result would be an understatement. I lost a member of my family not just a dog.
I would like to make anyone who lives nearby the park aware as it is still walking around our streets. It has been banned by the Richmond Park police but how they intend to enforce that I'm not sure.
Please pass this on to any dog owner in the area to be cautious and aware, it is the first time a dog has killed another dog in Richmond Park lets hope it is the last!
Thank you.
