Cruelty! My dogs were murdered
Outspoken resident and talk show host, Cindy Rosan-Jones has alleged that someone had her pet dogs killed.
In a brief Facebook post made this past Saturday, May 8, the Cut Deep host said, “my dogs were murdered this morning. Stay tuned for the full story, names and ramifications”.
The post featured pictures of two dead dogs; at least one of which was photographed foaming at the mouth.
The post also included a short video of an audibly grief-stricken young boy, believed to be her son, stroking one of the dead animals.
Rosan-Jones has vowed to expose the individual she believes is responsible for the heinous act.
“The individual that did this will be named and exposed. They should no longer be comfortable living or working in the BVI nor should they be around or affiliated to any organisation; especially ones that cater to children,” Rosan-Jones said.
Her post received an outpouring of sympathy and support from residents with many agreeing the alleged perpetrator be fined heavily or given a lengthy jail term.
One resident, Elroy Turnbull, commented: “This is cruelty in the first degree. I lost two dogs a few years ago to poisoning so I know the pain you feeling.”
Another resident, Sails Sandy remarked: “There is no difference between murdering dogs and humans. Anyone that can poison a dog deserves the harshest punishment because if you are that twisted, you can do it to people.”
Just last week, the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) issued a release that spoke to the penalties for persons intentionally harming animals.
“Owners will be charged criminally for any attacks or damage to property as a result of their unrestrained animals. Similarly, persons found to be intentionally harming or setting poison out to harm or kill animals can also be charged and prosecuted under the Protection of Animals Act, Cap 94, sec 3 (1) (a) for cruelty to animal,” Acting Deputy Police Commissioner St Clair Amory stated at the time.
Over the years, the territory has had several reports of persons finding their dogs poisoned.

Sorry to hear, but once you set them out in public space to poo without a leach and a poo bag. The consequences is yours
The dogs were in her own yard on private property……
“Learn to read” Maybe you should where does it say the dogs were on her property?
Who said that the dogs were “poisoned” in her yard?
Exactly, She does not know where the dogs were poisoned. No one was with the dogs.
… Who knows where the dogs got the poison? A responsible dog owner would ensure the dogs are on leash, as the law states, and they are monitored so they are not going anywhere they want and causing damage to themselves or others.
The people of the BVI have moved themselves to the lowest rung of humanity. Murderers, drug dealers, child rapists, dog killers, what’s next? For a population so small the amount of crime and criminal activity equals that of Mogadishu. You should all be ashamed of yourselves and your leaders condone the activities and also participate. What a blight you are on this beautiful land.
Those who live in glass houses should never throw stones…consider where you are from and what race or ethnic group you identify with. Judging from your comments alone I am minded to associate you with the authority figure/s who leveled such accusations against the BVI in an official capacity…if that is in fact so, might I take you to the year 1834 and the years stemming about 2 centuries before that in the Virgin Islands history and then tell the BVI about murderers, drug dealers, child rapists, etc…
Nobody is talking about historical times, when people thought and behaved very differently. The world and its people have evolved. Unfortunately the attitude and behavior of some persons in the BVI is anything but enlightened!
Are you ashamed of your modda?
AND YOU DEFEND MURDER.
SAYS A LOT.
YOU ARE A VERY SAD BEAST.
That was a cruel thing to do to anyone pets. As a parent, the person that did the act have caused her children emotional stress and hurt. That was a cruel thing to do to her children. No matter how anyone feels about Cindy it was simply wrong to hurt her children in that manner.
THE BVI IS FILLED WITH ISLAND JUNGLE SAVAGES, EVIL WORTHLESS IGNORANT PEOPLE. IN THE BVI, IF PEOPLE DON’T LIKE YOU THEY WILL DO THINGS TO HURT YOU. BVI LOVE? MAY AS WELL CHANGE THE LOGO TO WELCOME TO THE ISLAND OF JUNGLE SAVAGES.
No matter how heinous and or serious the crime, which it is, to use a racist term to categorize the people of the BVI is highly offensive.
JUNGLE SAVAGES has no place in the discourse of categorizing BVIslanders. It is only a racist devil and tug who will engage in such dogma.
IT IS NOT CONSIDERED A RACIST STATEMENT. AND I AM BLACK TO THE BLACK BLACK OKAYYYY. NOT ALL BIVISLANDERS ARE EVIL JUNGLE SAVAGES, BUT THE MAJORITY OF THEM ARE. MARINATE ON THAT TRUTH.
Doubtul you are Black. The prose is offf. But if you are, not surprised either. Many of your kind are mere jackasses and your thought processes and writing prove that beyond.
Carry on dufus.
Are you white?
I look forward to hearing the name of this horrendous person maybe feed him some rat poison and see how they get on. It’s a good job he or she are not on my property because I would be doing more than name him. That’s not a threat it’s a promise
Island justice. Soon come
I would have the person sit in front of a video camera with a glass of rat poison and make them swig the poison and drop. LIKE YOU SAID, THAT IS A PROMISE THAT WILL NOT BE BROKEN.
You bet. The person is going to be revealed. THERE IS ALWAYS A FIRST FOR EVERYTHING. THIS WILL BE THE FIRST DOG KILLER TO BE REVEALED ON THE ISLAND. I HOPE THE PERSON THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MURDERING CHILDREN INNOCENT PETS AND CAUSING EMOTIONAL STRESS ON THOSE CHILDREN THINK ABOUT THE DAMAGE THEY HAVE CAUSED.
My Family has also lost a very Dear dog to poison. The poison was deliberately put in our yard to kill the dog.
after picking up the dog as it was dying my wife came in contact with the froth from dogs mouth. she was very sick for 2 days.
if it had been a child the child might have died too.
it is unforgivable to poison animals in that way.
By same token no animals should roam free, be it dogs, cows sheep or goats.
all animals must be penned or controlled.
Purchase a poison antidote kit from a reputable veterinarian. My pit bull has been poisoned FOUR times in the last 2 years and survived each incident with this kit. You must act fast and administer the antidote while the dog is still alive and breathing. Next bring the dog(s) to a vet as soon as possible.
Despite surviving the poison the dog will suffer some residual effects from the poison such as less activity, less running, etc. BUT at least the dog is alive.
The poisoning stopped in my area when a local kid got arrested for drug smuggling. Figure that connection out!
HOW IS THIS NEWS!?! Nobody posted when my dogs died.
@GET because C****y is a celebrity and you’re not
This a simple problem…. If somebody pet is a problem for you then make a complaint to the authorities. Killing an animal because you don’t like its owner is evil and coward. Make an example of the person responsible.
So are you assuming that someone intentionally poisoned the dogs. How about the owner allowing her dogs to roam, eating oleander and anything they want, off-leash, got poisoned because of owner negligence.
Poison is not an answer to owner negligence. End of. There are so many other humane ways to stop dogs from coming on your property.
my two dogs were also poisoned with a very powerful poison at my yard, but who sales this poison on the island and how they are allowed to sell it here????
@mestizo, same here, I asked the same question when my dogs were killed and I was told the Chinese sell a cooked chicken leg that can out any human life, but I believe in karma
BLAME IT ON THE VIP
C****y please! Yes it was murder. But you must seriously consider the actions behind of this” what we got your dog was like the owner “ yap yap yap yap “ and not saying anything. The dog shouldn’t have been poison; but you have to consider that a person with your kinda or attitude and behavior will often times have some reasons. You’re not that unique and special Miss.jones. I really surprised you ain’t blaming Hon. Wheatly or Hon. Fahie for this!!
“My daughter woke up crying. All day she is regretting sending the dogs out to relieve themselves.” So this means the dogs were off leach and not in the control of the owners. How can she say someone particularly poison her dogs, will fully? If someone was with the dogs then they should not have been allowed to pick up anything and eat. Also, what mother suspecting her dogs were poisoned, would allow their children to be touching a dead dog. Not my children, family pet of not. I protect my children, period. This is a case of poor negligence. I am sure that she was warned on many occasions to keep her dogs leashed. She is a tenant not the owner of the property, as the article stated, she should have had better control of her dogs. Some people fear dogs and those small little dogs love to rush at people. Size means nothing, those teeth are sharp. Blaming someone for her negligence is devious and posting pictures of her crying children to gain sympathy is just for media attention.
FYI, Cindy does not, I repeat, does not have to garner media attention for anything. Someone f**k with her and her children the wrong way. If you speak truth, people in the BVI WILL HURT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. TO ALL CAUCASIANS RESIDING IN THE BVI, WATCH YOUR BACKS WHEN IT COMES TO THE JUNGLE SAVAGES.
I told you this racist p**s was brewing in the BVI a long time ago. Come July it shall be worst. Who has a third eye, watch and see what is unfolding before your eyes. Tribal wars, war in Babylon. Only a matter of time. It is upon us, the days of Donald Trump in America shall be visited upon the BVI.
This story should be taken with a grain of salt. From the pictures and how she portrays this, it is just for media attention. First, the dogs were off-leash, second out of her control and third she nor her children were around when they ingested what they ingested. This is owner’s negligence. Now she wants to blame someone? She should blame herself. All animal advocates should stop getting emotional. it upsets me when dog owners just let their dogs roam free then want to blame someone when their dogs get hurt. I have dogs and a good dog owner and mother should protect those in their care. Then she has her son, on video PETTING A SUSPENCTED POISONED DOG?” How are you people not seeing this? SMH Crazy, Media
DO YOU KNOW SOMETHING WE DON’T KNOW? WHY IS W** AND F** NAMES POPPING UP IN WHISPERS? IF IT IS SO, IT WILL REVEAL ITSELF IN DUE TIME. NO ONE WANTS TO BE CONNECTED WITH THE MURDER OF HER DOGS AND THE MENTAL STRESS AND TRAUMA THAT WAS PLACED ON HER CHILDREN. WHOEVER WAS RESPONSIBLE, F***ED WITH CINDY THE WRONG WAY THIS TIME AROUND. YOU ALL ADD EXTRA FUEL TO ………..
Cindy is in the line of fire because she speaks out on issues about THE GOVERNMENT WHICH IS WITHIN HER RIGHTS AS ANYONE ELSE. HERE ON SAVAGE ISLAND, IF YOU SPEAK TRUTH, THEY WILL FIND WAYS TO HURT YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN. THAT IS HOW THEY WORK ON SAVAGE ISLAND AKA BVI Y’All. THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS SAVAGE ISLAND WILL ALWAYS REMAIN IN THE LITTLE POND WHILE THE EVOLVING WORLD IS MOVING FORWARD. SAVAGE ISLAND WILL REMAIN 10 STEPS BEHIND.
It is Savage Island, but your ‘rarm still living on Savage Island. Why you don’t go back to your 300-year old flat in ITBREX, eh? Some who don’t hear will feel the first rockstoon and realize how when we act when we get bazzardee from those who want to hold us down. Watch and stay and you will understand sooner.
F you JUNGLE SAVAGE DOG KILLER. YOUR GRAMMAR IS VERY POOR.
Your dogs were not murdered. Murder is the killing of another human being. People allow their dogs to roam and $h!t all over the place, bite and rush after people. Sometimes you have to leave the sidewalk because someone with a dog on the leash is approaching and the dog is coming towards people. We don’t want to be licked or bitten. The Police officer themselves have said that animal attacks are on the rise that means negligent owners are on the rise.
This was a vicious, cruel PRE-MEDIATED ACT towards Cindy and her children. Why hurt the woman children in that way. The universe is going to handle all you evil doers and thinkers very soon. Satin don’t want and will reject you evil people in the BVI.
THERES SOME EVIL NDP PEOPLE DOING FOCKS AROUND TRYING TO DAMAGE THE VIP REPUTATION BLAMING VIP ALL THE TIME FOR EVERYTHING AND ARE THOSE NDP PEOPLE WICKED
That should hold ur fact ..the truth hurt.
Time for more BVI Love? The word is out on the cruelty…
Putting exposed poison down is negligent. If you can do that with a good conscience knowing there is a large risk to dogs or livestock you are a sick individual. If a dog peeing near you upsets you that much there are so many better ways to solve the issue than poison.
Even people who farm animals for a living kill them in a humane way – there is nothing nice about poison.
I seriously hope the neighbour who posted and complained about the dog on Facebook is questioned because this reeks of a vendetta and any individual that can stoop to this need counselling.
Why are you trying to blame the other tenants? We’re you there, did you see when they set the poison, do you know where the dogs went to relieve themselves, do you know what it is the dogs ate. I’m sorry for the dogs and children but you have to look at the broader picture, Cindy don’t know where her dogs went when she loose them, I’ve made to understand the yard DOESNT have a fence nor gate anything can go in and out of the yard. Let her tell the truth and shut her mouth. Trying to victimize other.
She need to be very careful someone doesn’t try to do that her.
Sounds like a homicide to me. Stop being so blatant and perhaps that may not have happened. Attention seekers….
Looks like you were there / you all canaries getting real vicious like hawks / I hope you all feel better now for a job well done on those innocent ?? ( all-yo gah something to sing and dance over ) the world is getting the BVI love message live and direct?
Sardine & brake fluid
This is EXACTLY why we have cancelled our BVI holidays, and will no longer return. We will invest our hard earned money elsewhere! Thank you for speaking the ugly truth…
The BVI need JESUS
Lord please make the BVI big enough for your purposes, yet small enough for your Grace
I born here and I approve my message
Very sad the are dumb animals
Animals treat you better than human beings
If I’m not wrong the will blame it on the expats
This is political shame on the person who did that the will get a worst death
Will never return!
During our many visits to the BVI, we sensed an ugly undertone. Although the topic of this reporting is horrendous, the comments from locals is 100% unacceptable. Like others, I have made my decision that I will invest my money elsewhere. Goodbye, ugly place!
but really, can a dog be murdered, a dog is an animal, i believe that murder would pertain to a human being.
How tf is this news?
