Ohhh good grief. How about you educate yourself.

Typical females, Pap. Great looking dog, though. He's a fit little bugger.

What a great dog but he needs to put the toilet lid down

You're confusing Quranic mandates with cultural practices. The cruelty that was filmed in the doco was about uneducated, untrained abbatoir workers. They could have been anywhere in the world, including Australia. People jumped on the eye gouging and head slapping etc thinking that was supported by Dhabihah - it's not. As for the earlier comment about stun guns, The senior clerics from the MUI fully support the use of them. It's not religion hampering the use of stun guns in Indonesia but the Indonesian Govt causing problems with the import because they're listed as a prohibited weapon. I'm not Indonesian nor am I Islamic but it's not hard to find this information - it's been all over the newspapers for days. eta here we go. This is in today's paper if you're interested http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/politics/cattle-export-industry-is-too-valuable-to-ban-20110602-1fi59.html

You're misinformed. Islam does not condone an animal suffering anymore than it should for food purposes, infact the Indonesian clerics have condemned the acts of the abbatoir workers who were cruel to the animals as sinful. It's Australians who are using religion to have a go at the big bad Moslems

I'm sorry but I'd like to see the damage to the other sister.

Hmmm. What was responsible for the other 80% - an empty bottle?

Whoever did it didnt intend to look after pets, Star. Several hundred desperate people paying 135 bucks gave someone a nice little paycheck for doing nothing. Billions of dollars are lost every year because of the stupidity of people who believe scammers. It just makes you want to smack your head against the wall

Maybe that lunatic Harold Camping can help them.

You're normally pretty scathing of dumb people, Hardy, which is why I like you. My attitude is this 1. The world is not going to end today. 2. If it does I'm going to have something more important on my mind than my animals...like maybe the windscreen of my car. And 3. How on earth did this shit manage to pollute the front page of the SMH. I'm bloody horrified that this crap attracted the media, and more importantly, really really dumb people who paid money because they were convinced it was true

I'm not. I cant stand scammers but if someone is downright dumb enough to buy into this crap then they deserve to be ripped off. A fool and his money and all that. This is better than Nigerian Scams (and they're christians, god bless you)

Really, Poods? Gee and all these years I thought he was I just love the way the old girl said - go and get mummy help. Dear old thing.

And Skippy.

That's the best news forum thread yet!

My dogs love kids as well but speaking to a parent recently who laughed about his little kid killing the family pet, I'm sorta no go on children near my dogs these days. He can go and play on the freeway instead of getting access to my dogs eta I blame his stupid parents but I still dont want him anywhere near my dogs

I dont wrap kids in cotton wool. I wrap my dogs in cotton wool. I dont want children near my dogs.

That looks a bit harsher than it should. Kids are great, I totally love them, but I dont want non dog savvy kids near my dogs ever. It's not the kids fault if they dont know how to be around dogs but it's a recipe for disaster - with any breed. Seems like the OP's friend is actually pretty wise to me.

If a non dog person said to me that they'd never leave their kids alone with my dogs I would say one thing and one thing only GOOD!

You poor thing - I dont doubt that you feel totally overwhelmed right now. First off, you need to sit down with your ex and establish if he's going to bugger off then you can look at getting one or two uni students in perhaps?

it doesnt relate at all and I'm finding the comparisons between vet/science students to war criminals pretty damn offensive. John seems to have a thing for throwing nazi germany references into threads.

Good grief. First a comparison between vet students and a Nazi War criminal, now the Nuremberg Defense? It's starting to get pretty tiresome.

That cat looks really cranky Poor widdle sad face - she just wants to be friends

She's beautiful. Post some more photos of your sad face puppy. I have a sad face puppy as well - che cracks me up constantly

Oh wow super sad face. What a lovely looking dog. Your kid is pretty damn cute, too.

Rightyo thanks buddy. What the second linky? I cant find it.
