(ATBA News Service, 5 October 2015) Angry Airedale owners on Facebook tracked down a scam artist and inflicted their own brand of justice.
One Jennifer A Salinger posted on an Airedale Owner’s Group and falsely claimed that an Airedale named Samson had been claimed for free from Craigslist, then used as a “bait dog” for dog fights in Massachusetts. She then claimed that the dog had barely survived the horrific ordeal, suffered over 3,000 stitches, and was undergoing emergency veterinarian care. Finally, she said that people could donate to her personal PayPal account and gave the pertinent information to do so.
It took only hours before Airedale forum members came to the conclusion that the whole thing was a scam, and in fact had been inflicted upon other breed owners as well, such as Wheatens and Sheepdogs.
Some forum members had already donated money.
The Airedale owners then exacted justice the way that an Airedale would: “Don’t start a fight, but when in it - FINISH IT.”
A delegation from the forum tracked down the scam artist and attached leeches to her face. This was repayment for her preying upon the love of Airedale owners and lovers, bleeding their love for their animals, and soaking their bank accounts simply because they love their pets so much.
In this GoFundMe drive, the involved Airedale owners are inviting anyone to contribute $5.00 apiece, which will buy one leech to be applied to the fraudster’s face. It is hoped that enough money will be contributed to give Ms. Salinger a complete makeover.
