It would seem tha Nina has her wires crossed here.
It is not law because it is cruelty to animals, if it were it would also apply to the working dogs that are exempt!
Are you saying that the law is allowing cruelty to those specific dogs Nina?
If so you should make a point of writing to your MP about this!

dont encourage herD

I just think for someone so opinionated she has double standards sometimes.
I dont understand how someone can be so against tail docking yet doesnt mind the use of e-collars.
Its like a strict vegetarian wearing leather shoes to me
Just my view on it of course


What about microchipping Nina?
Some of the dogs I have chipped have screamed their bloody heads off!
It couldnt be because it tickled, so is this cruelty aswell? This does cause pain!

There are some lovely people on this forum, and I have until now, very much enjoyed the debate, especially you Alan, whom I shall miss. Also cupcake and the various people who bring animal abuse to our attention.

I have worked with animals for most of my adult life, and actively campaign against all forms of abuse, be it animals, children or people.

I have found of late, that this forum is getting extremely personal, and for this reason I do not feel that I want to continue offering advice or my opinion.

I have never purported to be an expert on dog behaviour, and have only ever tried to pass on what I have learned, for the benefit of others. To be accused of being self opinionated, and I believe 'up myself' is enough for me to bow out now.

I wish this forum all the luck in the world, and may pop by every now and then, to pick up on animal abuse stories.

Nina i realy do respect your opinion ,but you sometimes come across a little to full on besides with just 247 post Nina you dont come on here that much anyhow
I think your over reacting and need to take a deep breathe mate

Come on guys lets not make it personal! We're all here for the same reasons! We're all animal lovers, just because our views differ lets not get carried away and make it personal!

i have never made any personal comment nore read any why have you alan????

Not recently Some of the comments are a bit personal in my opinion and if Nina feels she has to leave the forum I don't think thats good!

I dont have many posts either. Does it make a difference?? I work full time and have to cater to a hopeless husband so i dont get alot of time to sit and post - shouldnt make a difference though should it?????

Like Nina, I wont back down either, I stick to my opinion and everything ive said.
But Nina I do hope your not leaving because there are few who agree with you on this one!
That would just be cutting off your nose to spite your face.
