Getting our priorities right... - Page 2

Each to their own, just ignore them if you don't want to support them?

Personally the only charity I make a regular donation to is a subscription to the WWF, aside from that each year I give whatever is in my wallet each time I pass a poppy appeal box.

I must also congratulate you on your venting that you managed to do it in a civil manner with no 'naughty-word...' in there - Well done.

Its not the fact that animals are traded as a commodity by unscrupulous dealers, far too many are bread than needed, they end up born wrong due to high pressure breeding or unwanted and dumped or sick etc etc etc...

Many folks buy on impulse or as a gift without thinking about it and 99% of animals are just not needed and seen as a pain when going on holiday etc..

I just find it hard when as a race we feel it appropriate to put effort into taking folks money, time and resources for animals when so many human beings (especially children) are suffering every day...

Have to say that I find the wrestling a little staged.

Alison gets this all the time. She just ignores it though. She feels that it's cool if people wish to post and share this stuff; it's a reflection of where the poster is at the time, so if it works for them, cool! It doesn't work for her though, so she doesn't like or share posts like the ones mentioned!

The missus went into Tesco a few weeks back and outside there were four separate organizations touting for money. From Dogs trust to Talk Talk. The thing is they often don't take no for an answer, it's your right to say no and no means no without rude comments.

Complain to the charities commission. That'll send a firm message!👍👍
