Default Foal ear torn off

have you read about this in H&H news? How bloody ridiculas to let a dog sleep in the stable with a foal anyway, and it was the neighbours dog.What was it doing being allowed to wander? Poor foal has now suffered due to peoples ignorance.

I must admit I felt bad for the dog aswell, ok it was wrong but fancy putting a dog in the position of doing that. If the foal did roll on him then he was probably biting in shock / distress etc and too lose his life over another bl@@dy stupid owner upsets me.

How can people be so bloody stupid. I had a dog in my yard (guard dog) but when one of my mares foaled he kept jumping up at the stable door and trying to snatch at the mare of foal. People actually thought this was sweet & kept saying that he was just being friendly. Needless to say i couldn't keep an eye on him through the night when he roamed the yard so he had to go. I would never put my horses in that position 'accident waiting to happen' comes to mind.

I saw the threads about this foal, but no reason was given as to how it occured - although may have been given later.
I am quite shocked at the stupidity shown.

I feel awful for the dog and the foal, as I suppose we will never know what actually happened.

This looks like blooming ridiculous stuff, the dog was put down as soon as the vet arrived-and yt she said it was cowering in the corner-I'm guessing foalie either rolled/wanted to play with dog as they say it was out fo character. Poor dog
Idiot owners tbh.
