We have no words for how our officers & dogs were targeted in last nights disorder. Our Police dogs demonstrated extreme bravery & did all they could to assist colleagues under a sustained & violent attack. PDs Zoe, Ike, Quga, Yula, Yoko & Poppy are all recovering well #SYN2
@MerPolDogs Thank you for your service and bravery. 💙
@MerPolDogs why you putting dogs in that Environment you should have them taken off you
@MerPolDogs Their bravery and that of all the officers will never be forgotten. Thank you PD’s Zoe, Ike, Quga, Yula, Yoko and Poppy for protecting your lead holders and other officers. #Theyalsoserved
@MerPolDogs I'm really sorry to see #animals harmed That's unacceptable. And good reason to NOT put them on the front line when you have far safer options to get the job done. Rethink your approach. Please.
@MerPolDogs Police shouldn’t be using dogs in riot situations. It’s so unfair on the dogs who didn’t consent to be used in this way. Their use should be restricted to sniffing out explosives and drugs.
@MerPolDogs I'm more concerned about the brutal deaths of three innocent Southport children to be honest. Word of advice... Don't take dogs to a situation where there's a real risk of public disorder happening. Self inflicted by the police.
@MerPolDogs Good to hear they are recovering well, extra treats while convalescing? I hope they all make a full recovery and the same to your Officers.
It's a powder keg because of major mismanagement of the situation. I'd never condone attacking officers, and certainly not their animals... BUT... You should not have been spoiling for a fight. It takes two to tango, there is blame on both sides. You work for the communities, aggressive policing which we've seen for years, will end very badly. People, good people, have had enough.
@MerPolDogs I can not quite believe the scenes last night, appalling behaviour by thugs, how I wish you'd just tasered them and set water cannons on them.......#southport should be able to mourn and recover in peace with the thoughts of the country supporting them
@MerPolDogs Stunning dogs, such assets and credit to their handlers and force. No Officer or PD deserves to go to work and face what they did last night.
@MerPolDogs 💔🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗💙💙💙💙💙💙gentle hugs and love 🙏
@MerPolDogs Sending my fur friends healing thoughts. And sending the human scum that caused their injuries wishes for a slow, painful and merciless demise.
@MerPolDogs These beautiful animals I’m glad they’re recovering 💕
@MerPolDogs Thank you dogs AND humans x
@MerPolDogs 🙏Thank You🙏 K9's and your human partners for your service and courage. So good to hear you are recovering. Stay safe.
@MerPolDogs The bravery and courage of these vey special dogs is incredible Thank you so much Zoe Ike Quga Yula Yoko and Poppy and your handlers for all you did last night and what you continue to do to keep us safe ❤️💙#notallheroswearcapes
@MerPolDogs PD Quga hadn’t been back long, after last injury whilst working 😔
@MerPolDogs They should never have been there in the first place bless them - dogs at a riot , whoever called that decision needs a real good talking to - hope all the very brave K9 ‘s make a big recovery - and that next time they ARE NOT subjected to an impossible task - #stupiddecision
@MerPolDogs It's time to give our brave 4 pawed Officers PPE.
@MerPolDogs Don't put dogs to fight the British public.
@MerPolDogs God bless them all. I'm so sorry Police dogs and officers were injured. Totally unacceptable.
@MerPolDogs I hope the officers & the dogs are ok & thank you for all that do
@MerPolDogs They don’t have a choice in it. They have to do as they are told. Please please keep them safe 🐾🐾
@MerPolDogs you have more than enough equipment to deal with this without putting dogs at risk, training should tell when bricks are flying dog should not be anywhere close, you need to take a look at yourself’s clueless .
@MerPolDogs Don’t send them out there again. It’s too much.
@MerPolDogs Stop putting animals in harms way.
@MerPolDogs So so thankful and proud of you all 💘👮♂️🐾🦮🐕💘 #puttingtheirlivesontheline #BetterTogether
@MerPolDogs Looking great team. You shouldn't have to put your paws on the line. But thank you.... You are our heroes x ❤️
@MerPolDogs Brave soldiers ✌️unfortunate there beautiful animals bear the violence of such vile humans
