The Gangs That Steal Your Puppies | Crimewave
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 июн 2021
- Since the lockdown puppy phenomenon pushed up the price of dogs by up to 450% in the UK, a huge increase in dog thefts and importations has followed.
With access to the minds behind the crimes and the people on the frontline trying to prevent them, we discover why illegal puppy farms have become one of the fastest growing illicit markets in Europe.
We gained access to a gang who explained how they grab dogs in parks and from people’s houses. Plus, we secured an interview with an illicit dog importation organisation who bring dogs into the UK from Eastern European puppy farms. They implant fake microchips before selling them on.
Finally, we learned about the fight back, meeting a victim who managed to steal her dog back and a pet detective who takes on these cases as her day job.

Imagine carrying a child for 9 months giving birth, raising said child for 18 years for the child to grow up and steal people's dogs.
the types of parents that raise these sort of people are too busy getting high/drunk or already dead for the most part i imagine
What’s 18 more years, I can always start again
Or murdering someone! Which is a lot worse.
You went the other way with that.. when I started reading I thought you were gonna relate the dogs to the babies.. nicely done.
Should have swallowed
Funny how police cant find these guys but vice can get an interview with them.
they sign a online contract that they can’t arrest them or bring them in or any police and has to be in a private location
@@danielhodges6030 fuc the contract
Bcoz media know it all, like where the taliban or isis is hiding
@@chalks8257 lol the criminals can sue them
@@user-oe1sw9rh8b even if the criminals cant do anything once they report them it will make it hard to get new interviews. Then when the wanna interview the taliban or a cartel they cant bc they'll be wary vice will snitch on them like these dog stealing monsters
How evil do you have to be to do this to such innocent creatures?

amen to that

“Don’t get attached while we’re around”, that’s honestly the most disgusting form of self-entitlement I’ve ever heard. They feel they have every right to snatch people’s dogs for their own interests.
Spay and neuter ur dogs to prevent any theft for breeding
You are asking a robber why are you stealing a bank. Or asking the ghost why are you possesing someone, example in movies. What response will you get? Thats the balance of life. Good and evil.
They're scum.
@@Chaotic4Exotics yeah but how will the thief know your dog is neutered? They will steal first and then find out later, at that point god only knows what they do to them.
Everyone should be armed and trained. I wouldn't think twice blowing the heads off these goons.
Moment of silence for those who saw their puppy in this video
OMG I didn't realise that
😂😂😭
Pull up gun drop address 🗣️
🤣🤣🤣🤣
My dog Shiloh is in this :(
When people see an awful disease and say, “nobody deserves this”, I think we've found the people they're forgetting about.
How dishonorable these thieves must be. They are not human.
You're right Mohammad their not human, They are Turds on the pavement!
The fact this guy says he loves that pug and he's his everything but can't see that other people feel the same way about their own dogs is insane.
Sounds like a narcistic person. It’s sickening !

Or he just didn't care coz he's Sik
Theyre pure scum

It's all fun and games until they steal John Wick's dog

🤣
You should’ve never done that.
If they did dog kidnappings would go down by 1000%
Or any organized crime member.
I'm so glad eco was rescued, that warmed my heart a little, the police need to do more about this, its absolutely unacceptable that this can happen so openly
These animals go through stress and trauma when separated from their families. These subhumans deserve the worst karma possible.
People who don’t buy their dogs from reputable breeders are just as bad.
Greedy dog breeders charging too much are also to blame.
DNA records should also me used as well as microchips.
Buying your dog from anywhere and giving them a great life is saving them ! The pound , an accident liter , or just finding them on the streets , reputable breeders will give those dogs good lives , save our puppies in any circumstances
But I agree so many doggos go through hell when separated from the ones they love

I would have no problem standing my ground and putting one of these dudes down if they were ever to attempt to take my pup or if I seen them doing the same to someone else. I would never want to hurt someone but in this case...I would feel absolutely no guilt at all.
Same. These people deserve no mercy.
I lost my dog and found her in someone’s else’s front yard blocks down the street, she was taken in by someone and it had been weeks. I asked for her back but the new owners said that they wouldn’t give her back. I grabbed her, ran into my car, sped off and took back my mf dog that I literally raised! I was ready to fight for her haha
I would've eaten their jugulars. Good on you, though.
Oh yeah. I would pull a gun on somebody over my dog.
💙
@@goblinkin that’s gay
@@cloud1016861 Pretty happy about it, so yeah.
A dog owner in my area tracked down their lost dog, went round with a group of friends, smashed the flat of the thieves to pieces , took the dog back and fucked up the thief. Currently on bail for GBH and criminal damage, thief got nothing.
Your mates did it wrong then ay?
Gotta do that stuff the proper way, no witness no evidence.
Botany is interesting.
#findmissyandbiscuit
Strange, i heard the thief invited them to a party to celebrate and return the dog, and after doing drugs got a knife and went bonkers, the guys had no other chance as to defend themselves. The thief told something different after the drugs waned, thank god the story of all other people was consistent…

This just made me sad and heartbroken
I can't imagine anything more low than stealing someone's dog. Humans are the worst sometimes.
Yea. Obviously murdering someone is worse but that isnt that common,its disturbing how often dog stealing happens
@@domtoretto4657 stealing a dog is literally the same as murdur especially if they never get the dog back that’s basically a family member to the owner a child u cant deny that

Someone stealing my dog that i have had for 4 years wouldnt hit me near as hard as someone killing one of my brothers
We're the worst ALL the time.

I still remember when I was at the dog park and a guy picked up my dog and tried to walk out of the park with him, I've never felt body move so fast before, I've never screamed at someone the way I did to him, the guy claimed he thought my dog was his, but the other people in the park said he hadn't came in with a dog, now I'm always on guard, but that was one of the scariest moments I've ever gone through
Wow!! Did you call the cops??
@@anakarina1011 no :( I was so freaked out by the whole thing I didn't even think about it at the time, I did after we went home but even then the guy had a hoodie and mask on so it wasn't much help for the police

@Honest Manchester United Fan I disagree.
Which dog park is that? I’ll go there so someone can take my discounted $25 pure breed Doberman from shelter away. Omg that dog is pain 🤣
The interviewer has good questions, thanks VICE for bringing the detail about this crime, I knew about some reasons for dogknapping but not all the reasons why.
The fact that they remove microchips terrifies me. Get your dog an identity number tattoo (your vet can do it) as an extra precaution. It's small but noticeable to any new owners, relatively painless, and usually located on the inside of the ear, on the belly, or on the inside of the groin. You can get a tag on their collar to warn potential thieves that trying to disguise this particular dog might be more trouble than it's worth.
They will remove that, too. DNA registration seems like the only way.
My dog was stolen and was missing for 8 days. I was heartbroken, we had her for 11 years and she was part of the family, I grew up with her. We managed to thankfully get her back and she’s now turning 14. Dogs are not property, they are much loved family and I hope laws change so that these grim criminals can be held accountable.
Hello, by curiosity, how did they stole it to you (how it happened) ? I have to little dogs and that's one of my biggest fear.
Look at the one in the thumbnail 😭😭😭😭
well technically they ARE property, but you are right..in our families and our hearts they outrank people. we love them so.
@@Maaraawjust lock your doors and don’t leave your dog unsupervised outside. Especially if you have little dogs they shouldn’t be alone anyways, a coyote can make quick work of them if the thieves don’t get there first.
I’m sure there’s chips you can get that have a tracker in them as well
I'd happily walk in someone's house armed to get my dog back. And what happens, happens. Don't know why they say it's low risk. Take a dog of the wrong person you are at risk make no mistake about it.
Facts
@Honest Manchester United Fan it will, you’ll have your animal back
@Honest Manchester United Fan and
@Honest Manchester United Fan what? why does it matter if it’s an animal. animals have been here before humans and have a place on earth way more than humans do
@Honest Manchester United Fan do you know what the word empathy means? I guess you got hit on the head as a baby and are lacking in any human emotion.
There is no form of suffering bad enough to give these clowns what they deserve
As a puppy owner in Romania this is heartbreaking, and scary 💔 I couldn’t imagine anything like that happening to my bundle of joy. I suppose much of the solution lies in encouraging adoption, or at least making sure you buy your pup from an ethical breeder, so these people are left with no business. Super sad.
As an ex-wallet owner in Romania I say never go to Romania
@@epzanoletty You must have handed it over 😂
The solution is if you’re not buying it from a high quality breeder who will let you meet the mother, and the facility, and don’t have 20 different parents then don’t spend over 2k for a dog. Pure stupidity to buy a puppy mill dog that was stolen for the same price as a carefully selected purebred
This happened to my friend's dog this year when the dog got off his leash, the perpetrator had the dog's collar and claimed he had been hit by a car and killed. Months later the family who bought him illicitly saw my friend's missing dog posters and returned the dog to his rightful owners. Not everyone is so lucky.
Should be collars eith GPS that would be impossible to take off
ADOPT don’t shop! I used to work at an animal shelter and there are seriously so many amazing dogs that are there for years that deserve a good home. Don’t give the puppy mills and breeders any more money all they do is create more dogs that end up at shelters to get put down.
@@noize934 but according to this article, adoption shelters are actually buying dogs from breeders, so unfortunately it makes no difference 😕

ruclips.net/video/mR-gO-PQ2kQ/видео.html.
@@gretchenkarma I’m not so sure that article is true and even if it is it’s still better to adopt from a shelter rather than a breeder because then at least there’s a chance your money is going to help dogs in need rather than going to a breeder who is definitely adding to the already overcrowded number of shelter dogs
I like how they say “puts bread on the table” yea so does getting a damn job…
Or even doing another crime. Like I would rather these guys be selling weed or other non harmless crimes. Beyond fucked to take a dog man...
@@Diddlebop49 right!!! Out of all the crime you can commit to make some money, YOU STEAL DOGS?? How do they sleep at night...?!
@@Diddlebop49 tbf, like they said drugs is much riskier.
@@ElHal04 true. But then they aren’t trying hard enough selling weed is easy as hell. I know tons of people who did it in HS and then grew up and stopped
@@Diddlebop49 that’s smaller volumes tho. People like the ones in the vid would want to sell a huge amount in bulk
It’s your duty as a potential new owner to ensure you’re not buying a stolen dog, there needs to be a national database where you can list your stolen dog, another thing is people need to take pictures of their dogs, you’d be amazed how many people don’t bother, the problem is how little questioning new owners ask, we all know how heartbreaking it would be to have your dog stolen so do your research, if it’s a puppy and the seller cannot show you them with mam and dad then don’t buy
Or adopt dogs that need a home like ones from the pound
“Don’t get attached while we around” aha that was funny ngl
I just need these guys, one at a time, five minutes each. Change their life forever

How comically evil do you have to be to steal pets
This is sick and for Vice to interview them without doing something feels even more sick 😭
Idk dude I think if vice were known to take action then they wouldn't be able to get such in depth views into these things, because no criminals would risk it.
@@Doordashjonathon Ik what u mean, they wouldn’t have spread awareness to these actions if there weren’t agreements in place
It´s called journalism.
@Nature You seem not to understand what journalism is and how it works. If journalist give up there sources they are not trusted anymore by ANYONE. No interview with Snoden, with the Taliban and so on.
It´s a code, an important one. It also protects their lifes. And their job is to inform about certain things. Arrest people is the job of the police. If it would be important enough the police could be arrest them.
@Nature Lol they literally have interviews with cartel murderers, meth / fent cooks and many more despicable people in their home turfs. But dog stealing us where you draw the line.
Do you think you would ever see another vice video where they do this if they arrested everyone involved? Do you seriously think that is smart move here?
Do you think they would have lines of these horrible people coming to get arrested and doing interviews?
Imagine stealing dogs for a living and then gaslighting people who say it's harmful...
What's gaslighting mean?;
While it is harmful it still makes money so it would not be a bad idea
@@gidnild701 Doesn't matter, not an appropriate term for the situation, hardly applicable
@@SnakeDoc455 still I'm curious
@@gidnild701 to gaslight someone is to make them believe that they are living a lie / that your alternate fact is true over their real fact, basically if you join a cult you will be gaslighted by the cult leader or followers, you will be gaslighted by people who think the earth is flat that the earth isn't a globe, that guns don't kill people and are therefore not dangerous etc.
to just say that you do something morally questionable and don't think about it or don't see a problem with it is not gaslighting, it may have been had he tried to argue to her that stealing dogs is morally good and just and everyone should do it and then we would have a better world.
"Psychologists use the term “gaslighting” to refer to a specific type of manipulation where the manipulator is trying to get someone else (or a group of people) to question their own reality, memory or perceptions. And it’s always a serious problem, according to psychologists."
"call it what you want, it's bread on the table" absolute waste of oxygen. special special place in hell for people that selfish.
call it what you want, it's worthless human flesh, agreed 100%
They are losers who couldn't cut it as drug dealers, so they had to resort to this.
A bullet in each of their miserable heads sounds about right.
More people with that mentality than you think, not only these losers lowlifes
Call it what u want murder or i prefer death penalty the scumball 😂
i think it's hilarious how in every single interview vice does with criminals, they (the criminals, not vice lol) always blame the victims. "don't get too attached to your dog" "nobody is making you buy drugs from us" "you should know better than to trust something that's too good to be true" "everybody has to eat" are all paraphrases from vice videos i've watched. it genuinely shows that the one thing that all criminals share, regardless of their occupation, is a lack of accountability and ownership of their actions.
11:33 I can’t believe a strangers dog rocked up mid conversation in a documentary like this. 😂
“Call it what you want, it’s bread on the table” well stealing anything brings in some sort of money but stealing is stealing, by that standard these guys would have no problem selling children either.
Kill them
@Boogie baguettes you’re naive if you think these guys wouldn’t sell a kid for a large amount of money. If you are capable of small evil you are capable of large
@@JLudd arguably everyone is capable of evil
@@childofthelivinggod. yeah but not everybody is stealing and selling things which can affect a child’s innocence and view of the world. I’m sure it can really cause a kid and the family a lot of trauma stealing and selling their dog.

To think they paid these men.. they must hate dogs
The same reporter that probably bought her French bulldog…. From a puppy mill in Romania…
Ridiculous opinion, dogs that are not stolen have pedigrees and parents information. It's the none pedigree buyers that are part of the problem.
thank u!!!
@@davidbetts2980 apply the Miata logic. A worthless car that has so much hype that they now sell for $15k with 150,000 miles.
Idiots driving up the price of a commodity leads to unethical allocation of said commodity. Drugs, houses, all the same law of supply and demand.
Always ask for registration, pedigrees, medical records, and other supporting documents. This will avoid and reduce your risk of buying a stolen dog. If they can NOT provide all the above information, it can be a shady deal. Stay safe
How about not buying dogs and rescuing instead. It would stop funding this horrible industry.
@@Sebastian-hh5gu nah
Stop buying designer dogs. Go and get one from the shelter. Puppy farms, dog thieves, they are just symptoms of the real problem of people's obsession with pedigree dogs. It's *your* fault.

Odds favor them choosing the wrong owner sooner than later, they wont be around for long.
They're playing a very dangerous game. I cant imagine them doing this in the USA without getting shot.
yes they're lucky they can only just knifes up in the UK
*texas
But this is on the UK where police don’t have guns and people spend most time drinking on pubs
Dogs are different in the U.S way more aggressive. Just how people act different,
I usually pro-gun control, but in this case I would definitely shove a shotgun into their buttholes and pull the trigger if someone ever dare to steal my pet.
Part of the issue is demand.
If you're looking for a new pet, please try to adopt. Adopt ugly dogs. Adopt lovely mutts. If you can afford it, adopt that loving little pup with a heart problem. You can save a life.
Exactly! There are so many street dogs rm Spain that need a home. We signed up with a foundation and all we asked was for a dog that could live in a big apartment (next to a park) and with a cat. They send us videos of him in the cat’s enclosure just laying down. And he’s been such a blessing. He was a little scared of our cat at first 😂 But I can even take him to other friends with cats because he is just so gentle and kind!
Sadly not as simple as that. The reason we adopt is cause there are a lot of dogs on the street that end up in shelters. So if your trying to fix the problem the solution is not to push the demand onto shelters that requires a continuous flow of dogs into shelters dogs from the street, but rather support legitimate breeders. I mean what are breeders even for if we gonna go straight to the shelters ( not to mention if demand drops prices go up ) so like I said it's really not that simple
Why isn't our government doing anything about this? It's disgusting. I welcome ANY legislation to stop this, the UK dog market is out of control
Adopt don't shop
they normally end up being the best dogs anyways
Stealing animals should be taken more seriously !! Pets are family , not property and people who do this are disgusting , should be ashamed and treated the same as human traffickers
It shouldn’t be hard for police buying a puppy from this criminals with this information. I hope they get caught soon.
When I was 16 our house was broken into and the thieves stole our Labrador puppy. The worst feeling in the world. 12 weeks later, a neighbour knocks on our door to say that there is a dog tied up outside our house. The thieves had brought him back! I have absolutely no idea why they did this, but it meant that we got our dog back and he lived the rest of his life with us. I like to think that the thieves had a change of heart, but perhaps they just couldn't find a buyer for him.
Yeah, that's certainly a happy wnding right there! I'm glad y'all worked it out. How long ago was this?

They called John Wick to get your dog from the thieves
@@lilyroeun7324 Like 2004?
some dudes chic wanted a puppy and when he brought it to her she knew he couldn't afford it so she knew he stole it and told him tl return it
The fact that they have dog masks on makes this even more unsettling. Real life evil villains.
I agree. It's sickening. Hiding behind masks and dog masks too. Scum they need culling
It's like a canine version of the Narco Zone
it was vice's idea
So pleased they got Eco back. I have a small old dog and I always make sure to lock him indoors when I'm out. For worried hhe would get snatched and I couldn't bare it. I won't even leave him on a lead outside the shops.
Adds another reason why we don’t deserve dogs
I didn’t know this was a thing. It’s fucking sickening
Yeah its a big problem
Its huge in Wales happends loads
Because of monsters like the men in this video, many people such as myself don't buy pets that have had previous owners anymore. Can't trust anyone. I don't want to give criminals money.
I live in Holland and my friend has her frenchie attached to her in some places. My other friend’s dad’s border collie was also stolen. This is so sickening
Mate this is easier than dealing drugs it's nuts
Adopt don’t Buy.
you touch my dog your seeing HELL
This is too sad to watch.
Thank you vice for making me disappointed at humanity this morning
They PAID THESE MEN
@@alwaysyouramanda really? How much?
“I want to know why people are stealing these dogs” *petting a $4k dog*
Yes! Most people seem to not want to see this.
Me a Chad: Pets an 8k dog 🧐
Lol right
Wow hardly life changing money 4k a time.
@@slicksix8892 I assume you are being sarcastic
This makes me so sad for the owners and the dogs 😢
THEM WEARING PUPPY MASKS 😂😂😂
“To me she’s just a money thing”
Flipping disgusting. Those poor babies miss their families.
Kids get kindapped too.
Anything that can be bought and sold can be stolen too . We are lucky our faces can't be stolen and transplanted ,or they would stole our faces too.
You vegan?
I know. Imagine being so stupid that you can only steal other people’s dogs for a living.
They will get new family. Love is love
They are not "babies" they are dogs lmao.
vice, it’s okay to rat these guys out!
Me: what are you in for
Dog thief: stealing and selling puppy’s and dogs
Me: shanks then with chicken bone
"Call it what you want, its bread on the table" sums up the world we live in
They even do it in rural areas in the US. The thieves drive through the area looking to see where there are dogs with a high resale value, then they come back down the road playing a recording of a fox in distress. Even a well trained dog has a hard time resisting that, and most run to the sound and the dogs are captured. In a one week period in our area they got over a dozen high value dogs. Trained sheep, goat and cow herding dogs, and others worth thousands were stolen before anyone realized what was happening. In our case we heard the truck drive slowly by and then the sound of a fox crying. Our one year old Border Collier, who was very well trained, took off of the porch and we never saw him again. His collar was found a little ways down the road laying on the shoulder. ALL of the dogs were chipped and none were recovered, so they must know to remove the chips. Scum.
lol man, it happens EVERYWHERE, especially in southern california, big money.
sell drugs not dogs
Wow that's really smart of them

This should have been a sting operation by Vice. These guys should be in jail!
Other groups like this wouldn’t trust them for future interviews if they had a reputation for ratting them out. The cops get a lot of info out of truthful interviews like this though
Clearly this was fake lol
@@nuttr2611 I dont think so, looks real enough...
@@Drippeh you can’t. Their job is exposure. You lose other chances to speak to other groups if they think you are gonna run to the cops with the info or sting
@Andrew Lucks burner account ok bot
That woman is a good interviewer. She asks good questions.
This is the sweetest crime ever
they act like thugs but they are just stealing dogs from their homes lmfao
So what are they..... pug thugs 😂
British people man 🤣
I mean the hockey mask guy said he didn't feel pride about it, its not something to be prideful about, I didnt really see anyone acting like a thug. Just some coward ass thieves that steal from real people.
No probably for dog fights hun
Rather see them selling heroin
When people try to justify doing bad things for the money it makes it even more deplorable.
That excuse of 'times are hard' was pathetic. Times are hard for a lot of people. These people just can't be bothered to get a proper job.

……. Breaking into my house and attempting to take control of my Heeler?!?!? Those are two triggers. Haha you ain’t leaving intact.
No one wants heelers anymore, not even cattle farmers.
SO...who is stealing that guy's pug? It only seems mildly fair.
Yeah no. These dogs are so cute and should NEVER have been put through that, if i stole the dog (we could together yk 😉) then we would put him in a good home and not hurt him or breed from him
A police officer stole my two dogs when I was a child, one of them was a puppy. We went to ask for them and he said to us "they are mine now" two years to get them back. One of them he sold. It broke me.
Lol I bet nothing happened to the Officer either that’s tuff
Were your dogs being neglected by you?
@@mindfulmentally8437 cage was only a child at the time.
Police are scum though never trust them.
thats when you mask up and lick his house
This is sick
The way I’d claw their eyes out if they stole my dog
That poor lady was heartbroken, felt so sorry for her. I hope they get their dogs back.
"don't get attached to em"
I would tell these guys mothers not to get attached to their sons if they came for my dog. As soon as they get over the fence, they don't exist anymore.
TRUE lol
put a trench with poopy bamboo spikes behind the fence like it's vietnam >:)
