In memory of; Socks, Flame, Breeze, Murray & Grace.

Given by 19 generous donors in around 5 months

Hoping to help these 2 families who lost so much to pay their ongoing accounts. But remember - they no longer have their loved ones at home.

Canterbury

Socks, Flame, Breeze, Murray and Grace have all been poisoned.

We know by who, but don't have any proof - yet.

Tests are being carried out right now to confirm whether it was definitely Anti freeze.

Socks & Flame lived together with the same Family & were poisoned during the Christmas holiday season.

Breeze, Murray and Grace were from another Family unit. These 3 family members started getting very unwell late last week, where upon Breeze had to be euthanized first on 18th March 2020, then Murray & Grace today, 22nd March, within 10 minutes apart were euthanised.

Not many families can ordinarily afford vet bills, but these families have multiple & possibly ongoing ones due to extensive tests required for evidence.

Lexy & Neville Smeith's involvement (page creator)

I have known these families for some time, have seen what they've been thru & what they're going thru now. It's wrong! Apart from that vets rn't cheap. I have animals myself & am putting myself in their shoes. I too would need & appreciate financial help.

Use of funds

Mainly being used for recouping ongoing Vet bills, then hopefully possible legal fees, shld any evidence arises, as we really need to stop this human from murdering anyone else's Family pet.

Hello from Templeton, Christchurch  5 August 2021

Unfortunately, there has not been any resolution for our Families or Neighbours.

And I'm really sad to report that as of the wee hours Saturday 31st July 2021 there has been more of the 'alleged' poisoned mince spread around Kissel St & now Bicknor St.

Two rubber gloves were found (& bagged), samples of meat were collected & delivered to the Chch Police Dept.

We are actively working on finding video footage to go with the gloves & meat in order to succeed in having this person charged.

As we haven't yet reached our goal in order to reimburse our two Families, I ask for more sharing & donating if you can.

**Every $1 & $2's add up & will be greatly appreciated.

I will update as & when something comes up.

There are pics of the meat & gloves but didn't think anyone would want to see those.

Thanks, everybody :-)
