Manchester Dogs Home fire : Fri Sep 12, 2014 10:56 am  
Terrible news, with 60 dogs killed. A teenager is in custody suspected of arson. Personally I wouldn't prosecute him, I would just get him to clean up the remains. That would make a hundred times more of the seemingly necessary impression than some distant community penalty. He needs to see what he has achieved, hands-on.

If you're not a dog person fair enough but those who'd like can donate to an appeal which has already raised over £1/2m by visiting http://www.justgiving.com/ManchesterDogsHomeMEN

You can also donate by text sending MDOG57 followed by £1, £2, £3, £4, £5 or £10 to 70070.

Maybe he will be made to clear up what he has done and rightly so the little ****.

To reconcile respect with practicality, what is the optimum speed for a hearse?

What sort of warped person thinks "this will work out well for me" and then does that?

As I said on Twitter last night, he may consider that being in police custody is the best place for him right now (if indeed he is the guilty party).

I got my dog a JRT called Sydney from that dogs home so this is close to my heart.

I can't stop thinking about the panic that will have been going through those poor animals.

What suffering they must have gone through (continue to go through).


If anything positive can come out of this they may hopefully be able to re-build but fit for 21st century and it may serve to highlight to people what great pets are available from rescue centres.

A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.

When you rescue a dog, you gain a heart for life.

Handle every situation like a dog. If you can't Eat it or Chew it. Pee on it and Walk Away.

Re: Manchester Dogs Home fire : Fri Sep 12, 2014 2:51 pm  
This has really touched peoples hearts from all over the world. I heard about it last night about 8pm, I am Facebook friends with the manager of Manchester Dogs Home, Lisa, so was getting regular updates. To see the people of Harphury and Manchester come together, there were 200 people there last night offering foster homes, beds, food, collars & leads, crates. To see them come together like that was amazing and they are upto £800,000 in donations on Just Giving. DIY SOS The Big Build has also been bombarded too. Jewsons have offered building materials for free and workers from all over the Country have offered their service for free. Britain really is a nation of dog lovers afterall.

To the scum who did this, I hope you are very, very happy with yourself because to put it bluntly, there are a lot of people who are not so happy with you and want you to burn to death in a kennel with no escape. I hope you get the book thrown at you but I doubt it.

Can't help thinking that £800k would be better spent on the homeless around Manchester.

Apparently besides the 200 people who turned up to help a further 50 Koreans turned up for the barbie!

Maybe, but I didn't say it was my opinion, just a lot of others from what I have been reading.

I am a dog lover, I have had one or more dogs as part of my home since I was a child and never a break of more than a few weeks between each departure and a new arrival, I currently have a large German Shepherd Dog who we sourced from Dogs Trust and I dog-sit a 10 week old Labrador puppy every day, so I'm a dog person ok?

But I agree with you.

My two daughters came in from work last night and independent of each other had both spontaneously donated to the Manchester Dog Home appeal, I'm proud of the fact that they both did that as it shows that dogs are important to them too and maybe we've brought them up to have some empathy - but my first response without thinking was "They should be insured you know".

In retrospect that was probably me being a tight Yorkshireman and £1million will set a charity like theirs up for ever so its a good thing from a bad thing and its true that they will have some immediate recovery costs that will be unbudgeted such as temporary accommodation and replacing supplies, beds etc and yet I still wonder if a humans homeless shelter burned down with the death of 40 or 50 of the sort of street dwellers who you'd normally turn your nose up at on a daily basis when they are begging for your coins outside a McDonalds, then would such a tragedy raise £1million within 24 hours ?
