AlwaysAVFC Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 On the subject of pets, something that i'm only aware of because my mrs rehomes pets for a living, but there's a huge amount of dogs being brought to this country to be rehomed from all over europe. It sounds like i'm writing an article for the Daily Mail but how about we rehome some of the huge amount that we have have in the UK and Ireland as well as cracking down on puppy farms and irresponsibile breeders. What makes it worse is a lot of these dogs that people have rehomed from abroad (which to be fair these people might have thought they were helping) have now realised their dog isn't suitable for them and its just adding to the dogs in this country that need to be rehomed.

BOF Posted January 20, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 20, 2017 Ireland is the main culprit in illegal dogs. We've practically no legislation over here, even worse enforcement and as a result dogs are bred indiscriminately. Dog theft is rife too if you've something remotely purebred, so as to facilitate the breeding. So, eh, yeah, sorry about all the imports @AlwaysAVFC. We'll get around to fixing it (probably not).

Ive always been of the impression that apart from the obvious breeds such as staffies we dont actually have a massive homegrown issue so they rehome from europe to fill the spaces. If we only rehomed dogs from the UK our rescue centres would be full of very few types of dog. Totally agree on the puppy farm issue, its disgusting and you would think with some proper targeted enforcement a relatively easy issue to address. The problem will always be though that any dog lover who goes to visit a puppy and realises that the puppy is living in the conditions like puppy farms will instinctively want to save that puppy. Long term it makes the issue worse, but as a nation of dog lovers it a puppy farmers dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The constant unending supply of oxygen to Will.I.am's brain needs a re-think, a small tweak only, one could say a re-mix of current supply values and governance in the oxygen supply criteria and deliverable service levels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Annoyed with myself I was only popping out for one drink after work last night, show my face at a colleagues birthday drinks.

I hate his music but calling him talentless is pretty ignorant. He's a very accomplished music producer, his own ability to sing has no bearing on his ability to judge it. He's an absolute fruit loop, but you don't get the success he's had through being 'thick'. Edited January 21, 2017 by a m ole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree to disagree, plenty of celebrities achieve success despite being stupid. I also think most of the music he produces is utter cack despite it being popular, so I do think he's talentless. Obviously some people think success is relative to talent, I personally don't. Edited January 22, 2017 by Ginko 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not a reality TV star who is famous for being an idiot on TV. Whether you like the music or not, it's a talent to be able to produce music. Could you master an album? No. Edited January 21, 2017 by a m ole 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
