SAVE BUSTER FROM BEING DESTROYED

Buster is a 9 year old male staffy. Buster's owner had been trying to rehome him for almost a year as he was suffering from medical conditions and was no longer able to care for the dog. Unfortunately, help didn't come soon enough. When Buster's owner passed away at his home and left the dog uncared for and starved for days, Buster had to resort to attempting to eat his deceased owner to survive. In this time a space had opened up in a rescue centre for Buster, and when the centre was unable to contact his owner they attended the property to find Buster, but only to find the tragedy that had occurred. The Merseyside police had attended the property just previously where questionable force was used to restrain the dog, which has now lead to a court ruling Buster is to be destroyed as he is deemed "a risk to the public" despite the charity/shelters involved describing him as pleasant and loving!

The police assessed Buster as being dangerous during their second assessment of him because they used a discredited technique called an “alpha roll” which is a technique where dog is taken by the scruff of its neck, forced of its fee and held down. Most dog behaviorists believe that the technique is outdated and causes the dog to believe that it is being attacked and is a sure and certain way to get bitten. There are plenty of examples on the web
 
 
 
As you will see from the video on the Echo and Daily Mirror sites Buster was not all aggressive when handled appropriately
 
Poor Buster was left in a horrifying situation and has suffered from loosing his loving owner, who wouldn't of wanted Buster destroyed hence why he was trying to rehome him for his own happiness.


Once again a Staffy is being targeted for its breed. Even though the Liverpool Echo claims its story is only following the court case, it makes it very clear in its headline "Staffordshire Bull Terrier to be destroyed for 'eating its owner'" that its focusing on the dog being a staffy. Why not just say "Dog to be destroyed" instead??

His appeal is next week and the legal firm and shelter need all the support and voices they can get!

Please help raise awareness and show your support for Buster. Lets save his life and find him the home his owner wanted for him!!
