Do you have any concept of exactly how insulting to a whole lot of people that actually is, never mind the member you have quoted. That steps perilously quote to a suspension Steve, I suggest, as a moderator, you wind you neck in and think about what you are saying before hitting the reply button.

Ok. All I will say, is on other threads, I had many insults banded around at me. I will leave this thread. There is nothing really of interest here.

I've been pondering what to post in response to you and have come to the conclusion that there's no point as you appear to be too narrow minded to understand. The fact that someone who believes drug addicts should be shot in the face is lecturing others about empathy is mind boggling.

From what I can tell, your answer to anything which you fear or do not understand is to destroy it.

Sorry, I misread you.
 
Oh dear questioning my iq because I empathise with animals,,, I've news for you I empathise with animals because they give a hell of a lot more than some people, and who's to say I don't donate to charities that help people as well they're not mutually exclusive you know, at the end of the day if people choose to donate their cash to help dogs,, or any animals who are you to question their motives

Guys, can we draw a line under that part of the thread please, lets go back to the subject.

Apparently nearly 1 million pounds raised to help with the immediate aftermath and rebuilding, an unbelievable effort. Nothing will bring those dogs back, but hopefully, more will benefit in the future from the generosity and spirit of these donations. I am not so daft as to think we will ever live in a world where rescue centres won't be needed, though it's a pleasant thought, but lets hope this raises some awareness about exactly how many animals are in these centres and why. I can hope can't I? ;)
 
Manchester has some new heroes today, namely the guys who got in and started rescuing dogs. Good on them.

With that sort of capital the centre can be rebuilt, and built better. From such a sad event comes a good thing.
 
In addition it will enable them to rebuild to a great standard.
I understand this centre has been around since the late 1800's, with the surrounding area growing up around them.
Now they will be enabled to build a modern facility, because as much as we wish these places weren't necessary, they are; so the more up-to-date the better imo.
 
My last pooch (Chloe the GSD....not custody dog) was a rescue. She came to us at 7 months with some serious problems, but between us and the rescuers, she became the finest dog I have ever had.
I had her wonderful company for 14 years.
There are people who would have seen her in a hessian sack at the bottom of a canal, and I'm thankful that these people are in the sad minority.
My next pooch will be a rescue pooch.
These places have real purpose.

I don't normally agree with the guardian,,, but I do agree with this,, if a 10th of the people that have offered to foster, or rehome a dog stick around when the dust settles, then maybe, just maybe we won't go back to putting around 21 dogs a day down for the want of space,,,

hopefully the fosterers will become attached to the dogs and not want to give them back. that'd be my major issue if i ever fostered animals..
 
He's completely misquoted me. I said what humans do to EACH OTHER, not what one person does to 41 other innocent humans.
