Crufts Rhodesian Ridgeback Dies After Being Shot By A Hunter

A top winning Belgium Rhodesian Rigeback, CIB/ NL/BE/CH/DK Champion Villagedogs Ka Makana NLJCH BEJCH, died last week after being shot by a hunter. Recently, Mak was the Dog Challenge Certificate winner at the prestigious Crufts Dog Show. His owner, Dorothy McGoldrick, made this public statement with her account of the events that lead to Mak’s death.

“Villagedogs Ka Makana #1 Top Rhodesian Ridgeback in Belgium 2013 and 2014, champion of 6 counties and 2015 Crufts winner, was last night brutally murdered by a hunter after sundown. He was deliberately shot 3 times and died instantly. He was shot in an area of recreational local woodland, open public area, 20m from the path populated by walkers, playing children and bike riders. Mak was one in a million, gentle boy who loved everyone and everyone who met him, loved him too. He will be sorely missed and forever in our hearts. Please help us to stop this kind of tragedy happening again, to our dogs or your, playing in the nature, children. Please share. Everyone can be a target of trigger-happy hunters.”
