No, you are, as if so many animals werent being mistreated/abandoned, such big enterprises wouldn’t exist !

It’s a bit like prostitution : If there was no market for them ,  would they exist?

The simple answer is no, as with any other enterprise.

No Sophia, these charities only get away with it due to the people who mistreat/abandon the animals.

They are the root of the problem.

The bottom line still is ……where do  these 53.000 dogs that are being put down come from?

They surely don’t just fall from trees, do they?

You’re missing the point.

Where do these 53.000 animals that are being put down come from?

Destroying 53.000 animals in just one year… just goes to show what society we live in.

So where do you think all these animals that are being put down come from?
The problem here Sophia, isn’t the RSPCA, it’s the people who mistreat and abandon the animals, as the majority of animals that end up in these shelters is due to that; only a very…[Read more]

Absolutely nothing at all.

What, Man Utd played Leeds in London in 1975 ?

Lol, so I was right after all ! 

As I just said in the room, I must have got the yr mixed up; but what I typed about collecting money for RSPCA and Man Utd fans being generous is true

You are so wrong.

We were given cans by the charity ( with their name on it) and  go out in groups with teachers to collect money and I was nowhere near  16 

Oh right…so it was milky telling porkies again .. 

I remember those Man Utd fans very well (and remember them being very generous, too), as I was collecting money for the RSPCA that  same day in Leeds City Centre.

Now lets see….if you were 17 in 1975….that makes you what….. 58 ,  as your birthday is apparently in January, right?

Someone has been telling porkies re their age    

You may as well express your opinion, as nothing you say is going to change my mind re ethics of humour…..neither now, nor in the future.

Thanks for your response, but I don’t see an answer to my question in it.

Indeed, it’s not about our parents, but nevertheless about death, as “terminally ill and suicide/assisted suicide” suggests.
As I said previously, to me it’s beyond any logic and train of thought to create any humour around ‘terminally ill and suicide” , whether it’s a…[Read more]

Haha ..no.. I meant what I said  lol

I think it would be a relief for some; especially for those with an addiction.

I’ve seen it happen before on another site and they happened to survive very well through it.

I want to take this a step further.

I’ve never seen you use this sort of humour when discussing migrants and dead toddlers being washed up on shores ; infact I recall you criticising ( rightly), someone who happened to humour that very sitauation.
Is there a difference between that situation and the topic at hand?

Where do you draw a line?

I remember you mentioning  this  when I was going through my mother’s illness and subsequent death.

I cannot see any humour in suffering and death.

It’s beyond any logic and train of thought to me.

You find it silly, childish even?

I did happen to be online at the moment .. and did see it happening, so why not type it?

I found it cowardly on her/his behalf..but hey, that’s just me; maybe others don’t see what I saw in her/his posts, as it wasn’t directed at them.

I apologise for being simple & honest.

If you care to scroll back you’ll realise I tried with the debate….I posed a question, to which they didn’t reply.

They logged off, then back on, added a post to a different thread and completely ignored my question.

I was online, I saw them .

That as far as I’m concerned, deserves to be called an idiot, besides the fact that they…[Read more]
