Skoota is still out there - SOMEWHERE...
17 days and no news.
Over the weekend those placards will be all over the place.
More chances to find Skoota, more eyes looking for him...
more possibilities to see him back home.
We had No conclusive sightings despite of an amazing community spirit from Whangarei to Cape Reinga.
Your support has been beyond anything we could imagine and you all are our heroes.
Hours and hours of search, thousands of people aware of who Skoota is...
But tonight as painful as it can be we have to come to reality for the following:
Skoota had a brutal and fatal accident in the surrounding bush and we will not see him again.
Skoota has not been killed on the roads, but as he was worried about cars and their noise he would rarely run on them. We drove 100s of Kms and would have found him lying dead.
If somebody unfortunately hit him please come forward and tell us. No judgement no blame... but a closure for us. Just like when you loose a child.
Skoota was shot as he was mistaken for a stray dog. Again if you did it or know someone who did it please come forward and let us know. No blame no anger ... just a closure for us. Just like when your child is shot by mistake.
Skoota was taken by those people from the underground fighting dogs ring and fed the animals. We will not see him again and no one will come forward... but there is Karma.
Finally Skoota is kept hostage for different reasons.
So if you read this and have Skoota alive we will consider a payment also called " reward" only for his safe return or unmistakable information leading to the guaranteed return of Skoota to his family.
Our numbers are on the document down below.
🧩😏 Riddle me this, Neighbours…
I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?
