Australia compensates offended dog



Posted April 27th, 2010

It is right there with’ Freddie Starr ate my hampster’ as a bonkers story but apparently a restaurant in Adelaide refused entry to a guide dog because the staff thought the owner said ‘gay’ dog !  For this act of canine homophobia the restaurant has had to write an apology to the dog - Jolly - and pay $1200 in com-pen-say-shun.   I reread this story twice to make sure it wasn’t a spoof but the Huffington Post is a reliable source of news information.

RSPCA policy change



Posted April 22nd, 2010

In today’s Daily Mail there is an article headlined

We haven’t got the cash to take any more strays says RSPCA
 
 
basically it says that they will no longer take in unwanted or stray animals, concentrating instead on those seized from owners.
 
This is the RSPCA becoming a branch of the police, because they wear a uniform it has made them forget what the name RSPCA really means. They should care for all animals in need, not just ones that give them a higher profile.
 
Apparently they have reserves of £150 million, so they’re not exactly destitute.
