Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Pets / Animals went to Birkenhead Dog Pound Today 28.4.2010

maybe kevin and gsdtrainer,if they feel that strong, should pay for windows in the roof of the pound themselves and pay for a contractor to fit them.

The conditions of the pound look fit for purpose to me, A holding unit for a stray, abandoned or lost dog whilst awaiting collection by the owner or rehoming. They are not designed to be a permanent home and IMHO any animal left here for a length of time should be put to sleep and put of its misery.

In reality this is the best that the council can offer with its current finances, how about we get rid of it completely and have no holding unit at all, and any animal brought into the pound is instantly euthanised.

Im an ex-zoo keeper and big animal lover but also a realist, this is not a place for the dogs to live, its a short term holding unit!

So the only thing I could see wrong here, would be how long animals are kept in these units before euthanasia, and this is a management issue rather than a conditions issue.

Tilly i signed the petition last week an got my family an friends to sign it, keep up the kind thoughtful work luv an take no notice of these so called animal lovers who are defending the pound! they are talking through their backsides and are complete Liars about being animal lovers, working in zoo's etc they just say those things to make you feel like you cant argue back and shoot them down in flames!! Your a real inspiration to us all and if everyone was like you then the world would be such a nicer place to live in without so many twisted Self centered Bigots in it!! XX

maybe kevin and gsdtrainer,if they feel that strong, should pay for windows in the roof of the pound themselves and pay for a contractor to fit them.how would you all feel if, for arguments sake,your bins dont get emptied any more,you ring the council to complain and they tell you "sorry mate we spent all the money on making stray dogs comfortable",this is a bit extreme but the point i am making is that money is tight for everyone,the council included.

Excuse me GSD Brigade's latest member, who the hell are you to question anyones personal motives or lifetime experiences, without any background information or having met that person? Waddi is extremely well known for his fondness of animal's within these forums and has been since the day I joined.

If you care so much, put you money where your mouth is and donate instead of taking a backseat, and expecting someone else to do the hard work and foot the bill; ive probably had more animals than you have had hot dinners (Parrot, tropical fish, coldwater fish bearded dragons, dogs, cats, African land snails, the list goes on... Mark, the forum admin, and many other forum members, can confirm all the animals ive had over the years - in fact, today I rescued two goldfish that had been abandoned by a family member (shame on them) - they may only be goldfish to most people, but to me they are every bit as special and precious as my cat for example) so for you to question the fact whether im an animal lover or not, is a pretty pathetic and useless comment and is based on nothing but your own narrow-mindedness.

No doubt you will be from the GSD-spam brigade that Tilly seems to have bought over from "that" site (hmmm, is that an unfounded assumption I have made there, merely co-incindence I feel), so jog on and whilst your on your way, visit www.barryboys.co.uk where you are sure to find plenty of like-minded internet warriors ready to spout shit without knowing any facts whilst your hiding behind your internet connection.

If you can't accept somebody having a different opinion to that of yourself, then you may also want to check out one of the many UK neo-Nazi parties as im sure they share the same conformist views.

could,nt have put it any better myself matt, and i thought it was only me .
