Public Attacks are Increasing and Dog Thefts Rising - 20% Off

Post by ChrisSURE24 » 06 Apr 2021, 14:58

Hello everyone, this isn't a sales pitch as I'm not in sales, simply a guy, with a dog trying to help through a company I work for.

It has come to my attention that over the course of UK lockdown there have been over 250% increase in dog thefts due to demand. I wanted to reach out to a community we've worked with a lot and is close to our hearts. My partner Alice and my dog Claud are everything to me and I wanted to inform you that the company I work for, SURE24, supplies personal attack alarms that are designed to keep you safe when walking alone at night or with your dogs. My partner and I have one as I am genuinely worried about one of us walking alone and our dog being stolen from us.

I spoke with my manager because we do a lot of work with the Neighbourhood Watch and she's said I can give this group 20% off using the code: STAYSAFE20

The Trident Gas Alarm and small personal alarms that me and my partner carry are 20% off:
SG800T, SG390PK and SG390BK all on SURE24 website https://www.sure24.co.uk/alarms/attack- ... prevention

The trident alarm I have linked will spray the attacker's/thief's clothes and skin with an unpleasant smell, UV tracing and will alarm 138dB of sound which is similar to that of a gunshot. https://www.sure24.co.uk/sure-sg800t-tr ... ilver.html

I simply wanted to raise awareness and try to help where I can.

Have a great day everyone and please stay safe.

thanks,
Chris

Great isn't it,
People used to buy a dog to protect their property from getting stolen, now we have to protect our dogs from being stolen :wtf: :crazy: .
About time the dog thieving scum had there hands removed on conviction.

Aye I didn't realise getting mugged for your dog was even a thing.

Been going on for a long time, probably best part of 20 years ago a mate of mine was walking his lurcher on a back road near where he lived and got stopped by some do as you likeys in a van who wanted his dog, they didn't get it but it still shook him up a fair old bit.

Damn, I knew about stealing dogs for ransom out of people's front yards and stuff but genuinely never heard of a dog mugging.

luckily I got my 7 year old Germany Shepherd/Malinois Mix from an Animal Shelter - quite a big "Wolf" :lol: and this one is very special, because he was given twice to ppl and twice came back to the Shelter.... but now he found his home forever! :wave: The good thing is.. no-one could steal this one, because as soon as he is alone, without me... he wants to protect himself from strangers and bites almost everyone who touches him... the person will only have about 5 seconds.... if you dont turn away after he growls... then within 5 seconds the person touching him will lose some bodyparts... otherwise he is an angel when with me! :angel: :D
I guess thats the reason why he was at the shelter... no-one could handle him... something went wrong in his earlier days... he doesnt like ppl... only accepts ONE leader. After he had bitten some ppl at the Shelter no-one wanted him.. and thats why I wanted him... :D I have owned German Shepherds since I was a kid... I know them very well.... I even had two of them the same time earlier.... both could walk without leash... and so does my new "best friend"... when everyone at the shelter said "he must always wear a muzzle you cant go without!" - within only 6 months he "was home" and changed quite a lot... he never wore a "muzzle" with me... he walks without leash... and never attacked anyone when I am near him...actually its never the dog who is the "bad one" ...its always the man behind the leash... doing the wrong or the right things! :D I am happy he can live his life now.

Here in Germany Animal Shelters have never been that empty as during "Corona"... and "illegal puppy sell" booms too! I just hope that all those cats and dogs will not become "Shelter Animals" after Corona :!: ... this would become a chaos ! :thumbdown:

Goes on a lot in London and other big cities it sickens me the scum that do this need a good hiding,often they approach old people asking for directions etc then just take there dogs and leave the poor buggers devastated.
Thing is dogs have In some cases doubled in value since covid due to demand as many people sort the company of a dog during these covid times,they need to make it a long sentence in prison not a stupid bloody fine or community service,our laws are totally out of date in this country.

Think that was Norfolk direction, and around the same time I believe another 10 stolen dogs on a traveller site around Kent.
Lovely bunch ain't they :thumbdown:
