At least they are all OK
if you don't include the poor dogs that is...wonder how far from civilisation they were and how they got help to get out of there afterwards. Be nice if news coverage gave decent details these days....I had to search for more info on a boat crash in Germany yesterday to try and understand how it hit a bridge, it took me 4 news links before I finally understood how the crash into the bridge  happened.

Met one of the guys tonight.  He lost everything including his 6 dogs.  Total of 15 dogs died either in the fire or shortly afterwards.  A few dogs survived.  They were all tied up.  He is not sure what caused the fire.  Some of the guys were fishing nearby, others went for a swim.  There was a small fire but he didn't think that could have gotten out of control.  There was a generator running and some solar panels connected up charging batteries.  Maybe an electrical fault.  Nobody will know.  They were 60kms from the nearest civilisation.  He was still in shock I think.  Decent, young bloke just up there on holidays.

Pig dogs Geoff.  As much as I don't fancy them as a breed, what they suffered is just not right.  Poor buggers.

Agree that their suffering is terrible, but the world is a better place without them.

just shows how easily things can go pear shaped.

I remember camping with friends who had
a device hooked up to the car battery,
the wire must have been damaged and shorted.
lucky we were nearby and managed to prevent a disaster.

as an electrician mate told me not many people think to put fuses on 12v stuff.

Just depends on  what your priorities are i guess Geoff. Twenty years ago when i was right into duck shooting it was not uncommon to have a dozen or so dogs in camp. Most of us usually had at least two dogs as we would have one working and one in training, mind you as competing retreiving trial dogs they were much better behaved than your average pig dog

A pig dog is only what its owner wants it to be. I used to hunt, all my dogs were gentle giants around the house & only livened up when the plates were on. When I say "livened up" I mean start to look more keen and alert, not a vicious frenzy like most non hunters envision.
There's a lot of decent guys out there that treasure their hounds like family & treat them likewise, it's just the handful of wanks that make the rest of the hunters & their breeds look bad.

Presume you're talking about Pig Dogs?  There's a wide variety of dog hunting. Some of my most treasured memories are from times it was just me and my much loved Spaniel out hunting. He was an awesome bird dog and an awesome much loved family pet. We'd spend hours out in the fields together. Not sure how having him flush out pheasants or rabbit make me less of a man than doing it myself though?  The dinners were pretty good too.

I don't agree with the method they seem to use here for pigs by running them down to a standstill. We used to go feral pig hunting on my uncle's farm with his bloodhounds. Flush the pig, call the dogs off and shoot the pig on the fly. Never injured or lost a dog that way.

By the reports it was a a guided hunt with multiple attendees, hence why so many dogs.
I reckon that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so if you find your labradoodle, Shitzu cavalier attractive good for you.

Now if I was looking for a dog and had a choice of



Or



I reckon the discission wouldnt be hard.
