Family pets killed by predator on the loose
Alice McKeegan2/ 8/2008
A ‘PREDATORY wolf-like animal’ could be on the loose in Newhey.
The grey and white creature, thought to be a Siberian husky, which stands at a metre tall, attacked and killed two pet guinea pigs in a Bentgate Close garden.
load of rubbish its fox thats what they do ask anyone who keeps chickens in pens outside or pidgeons. wolf or huskey what a joke. its a wild fox doing what comes naturally to it eating smaller animals...unless you claim it used a screwdriver to get into the hutch !! then there are a few wild annimals on the nearby estate capable of doing that.

As a husky owner, I would like to point out that it is as natural for a husky to stalk and kill a rabbit, guinea pig etc as it is for a cat to kill a mouse or bird. Huskies are not nasty animals. They are very loving and affectionate. It is just that is in their nature to stalk small animals as it is to run. Both just come natural to the breed. Therefore the problem does not lie with the dog, but with the dogs owner. All husky owners should be aware when taking a husky on, that they are great escapists and so should make sure that their dog is kept in a secure, enclosed area where it cannot escape. The dog at loose, is not only endangering small animals, but is also in danger of getting killed itself by traffic or farmers. It is a terrible shame what has happened to the guinea pigs but in my eyes it would be an even bigger shame if anything would happen to the dog due to the owners neglect.
