Gang kicked dog in air and threatened to do same to owner

A DOG was viciously attacked by a gang of youths while walking through Milnshaw Park, Accrington, with its owner.
William Townsley, 66, was walking his 14-year-old partially-blind Cairn terrier Snoopy through the park at around 1pm on Monday.
As he was passing the children’s play area, William said a group of around 18 Asian youths racially abused him, shouting obscenities before kicking the defenceless dog in the face and ribs.
William, of Devonshire Street, Accrington, said: "I could hear them shouting racial obscenities but I ignored them at first and carried on walking towards the old tennis courts.
"As I turned around to shout Snoopy, a couple of the gang, who had broken off from the rest, kicked him in the ribs and then in the face before running back to their friends.
"I thought he was dead. The poor dog had been kicked into the air and was just lying on its side.
"As I walked off I could hear them shouting: ‘Carry on, we’ll do to you what we did to the dog’. I was in fear of my life."
William said he picked his pet up and cradled it in his arms before making his way to the nearby Asda store to call for help.
He added: "I was so shaken up I could hardly talk. The woman I spoke to at Asda said Snoopy was the fourth animal to be attacked up there."
William said he waited at the store for an hour for a police officer to arrive but then had to leave to get Snoopy to the vets. On his return home he contacted the police again and was assured someone would visit him soon. However, he was still awaiting a response.
Inspector Dave Mangan at Accrington Police Station confirmed the crime had been reported and apologised for the delay in dealing with it.
He said: "After the initial call was logged, another job came in with a high priority and the patrol had to be deployed there. Because we didn’t have a mobile number, we were unable to contact Mr Townsley
"We understand that to this man it was an important call, but unfortunately we don’t have limitless resources and we had to prioritise. We would like to be able to send someone to every crime as soon as it happens but it is not always possible."
Police are now investigating and said if any other animals have been attacked in the area the owners should contact them on 51212.
There has to be something in the law that forgives you for killing people like that. I mean even if they kicked your car that already should be a shoot-able offense but kicking your dog?
Anyone who kicks a dog like that should rot in prison for a long time. Very few things could make me violent. Seeing that happen is one situation that would.
We should send all our unwanted pit bulls over to them.
That is true and they should of had their heads broken for this.
In WA state, animal cruelty is a criminal offense. I wonder how they would treat this abuse by a Muslim gang, if it happened in Seattle.
Not a hate crime unless its white soccer hooligans kicking an Asian’s sheep.
The “prioritisation” of their police is readily apparent to “Asian youths,” and so they continue to assault innocent animals like the not-so-innocent animals that they themselves are. They’ll make good on their threat to attack the owners of dogs, too, given time.
“We should send all our unwanted pit bulls over to them.”
Now that is brilliant!! I’d like to see how these jerks would do if dropped into the lions den at a local zoo.
We need to start wasting these human excrement in a very loud, grotesque manner...and billing their families for the resources expended in so doing.
ATTN: ENCLOSED IS THE BILL FOR CLEANING UP THE MESS YOU WROUGHT UPON THE GENE POOL. PROMPT PAYMENT IS EXPECTED UNDER PENALTY OF SIMILAR FATE.
There are no words adequate to describe the kind of sewer-scum that would kick an ailing aging little dog around.
Like to see the entire “gang” rounded up and administered the same kind of treatment, but we all know nothing is likely to happen to them.
Instead, the malfeasant coward police chief "apologizes" for doing nothing until the pressure was on to actually do his job.
Soon the emboldened head cutters will be doing that to his policemen, and he will equivocate as they have funeral after funeral.
But still he will do nothing, because to do something would be "discriminatory".
Those who are Evil have now found the ultimate weapon: a word. To resist them is racist; to fight back is discrimination. And the Armies of Christendom fall before them, no swords needed.
1000 years later, they find the key to conquest.
Western “Civilization” needs to peal a few layers of “civilization” off our asses and return to a state of sanity and self preservation, where we would shoot bastards like this on sight.
That which you tolerate, subsidize or fake respect for — multiplies.
Time to get real, folks - and respond to the barbarians who have already kicked down the gates.
Isn’t socialism grand.
UK has to throw so much of it’s limited resources at it’s failed nationalized healthcare, there is little left for public safety. If you live in UK just hope you never need a doctor or the police.
Under socialism everything and everybody suffers. They sell it to the sheep as providing superior service, IT NEVER DOES.
Weren’t those “Muslim yoots” who fell into the tiger pen at the SF zoo? Sounds like the perfect fate for a lot of them. Beat women and animals, blow up school buses. Nothing too low for them. And no punishment too hideous for them.
Lion’s den??
Come on now, that’s hardly sporting of you!
I say give them a chance. Two dog hating asians against one mean pit bull. I’ll bet on the pit bull.
A Cairn?
They kicked Toto???
Die mohammedan scum, DIE.
“That is true and they should of had their heads broken for this.”
I’m sure if the Brits do catch them they’ll be “strongly cautioned.”
If it weren’t for Sharia Law they’d have no law at all.
