Buzylizzie,

I find that your two posts contain contradictions.  You describe yourself as "a very responsible owner" and that you do not need to be told that "the pounds are full of dogs due to irresponsible owners".  Despite this, you refer to your "previous experience of breeding dogs", and your desire to breed your present bully, all of  which, presumably, you do, and have done, for financial gain?  Thus, can it be argued, that despite the fact you consider yourself to be a responsible dog owner, you are nonetheless quite prepared to increase the already over-populated canine population in order to make money?

Buzylizzie - I am at a loss to understand why you want to bring more dogs into this world, unless it's for monetary gain?  Animal shelters are full to over-flowing with unwanted animals, especialy dogs, why do you want to add to the problem (or perhaps you already have homes lined up for your dog's anticipated litter?).  If your dog is getting over-excited, why don't you have him neutered?  Be part of the solution, not the problem!

I have signed the petition.  Even by Spanish standards - or perhaps I should more correctly say, customs, this is barbaric!

Hammersfan, I have deliberately waited before replying to your original post.

Firstly, I would like to say that I agree whole-heartedly with your comments regarding respecting/accepting the laws of the host country in which you may reside, be it permanently or temporarily.  I speak from personal experience, as I have lived for the past 38 years in a country which is not my own.

As far as Tinosolera's letter to the Spanish Ambassador is concerned, it would seem that  you have misunderstood her intentions.  At no time, does Tinsolera demand anything, but requests that the existing laws be respected and applied.  Her tone is respectful and her comments factual;  she makes reference not only to Spanish, but also British citizens.  The force of international/ political lobbying should not be under-estimated, and has indeed proved to be effective as far as animal rights are concerned, although there is still a great deal of work to be done.  As I have stated in my post of 20th October, geographical frontiers should be no barrier to those who seek to help those who cannot help themselves.

I commend Tinosolera, Poppyseed, Joan and all others throughout the world who work so hard to protect and care for animals, who should never, ever be victims of Man's folly.  Mahatma Ghandi said "the greatness of a nation and its moral progress, can be judged by the way its animals are treated" - would that all peoples of the world heed his words.

May I ask you to use the Search Engine of this site to look up a thread entitled "Gisela".  It is not plesant viewing, but may bring home to you why we must never, ever remain complacent or consider "oh, that's just the way things are" as far as animal welfare is concerned.  Animals enhance our lives, our moral duty is to cherish and protect them, and never, ever, under any circumstances whatsoever cause them harm.

Unfortunately it helps if you are a man taking things back in Spain. I took a dress back to a shop as it was too small, the next size up was too big. The best they could do was offer me a "vale", my dad walked into the shop two minutes later and he demanded a refund and they did it.

I saw the EOS Team avatar next to the above message, and assumed it was from Justin!  It wasn't until I saw Susan's name at the end of the post, that I realised cross-dressing did not apply!  Off-topic I know, but it made me smile!
