For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I think anyone whose going to abuse animals certainly isn't only going to do so because someone made a tasteless joke on answerbank. They are obviously just tongu in cheek remarks and need to be taken as such.
We have four cats and I love em to death but I'm not going to worry myself sick because someone jokingly suggests poisoned sausages. If anyone's going to have poisoned a cat they will have already done so they won't wait for the green light from us.
Noxlumus, I don't think anyone will be influenced by the posts in question. That isn't my worry. I think plenty of people will be upset by them. They don't upset me particularly but I find them unnecessary. Some of them, like Shaney's were a laugh, but there are a couple which have gone beyond a joke.
noxlumus - Adding to my last post, I don't think anyone would be influenced by thses posts either, but feel that they are unnecessary & maybe upsetting for some people (not particularly me), including childen that use this site.
I did't for one moment class shaneystar's comments about her dog, as in the same category as the ones suggesting poisoned sausages or using a 12 bore shot gun! Most dogs & cats like to chase each other -it's nature!
Have a lovely afternoon!
Ah, this is cute!
I dont hear anyone complaining on those posts about dog sh!t left on pavements.I live in a very dimly lit street and I have stepped in on more occasions than I care to remember - trainers in the wash carpets getting cleaned between boking sessions in the toilet.There was a dog who had obviously marked his terroritary on my drying bit at the back of the garden.The crystals worked.Caught the owner and told them in no uncertain terms I would follow them home with the **** when they least expected it and see how they felt stepping out their door to that on their shoes.The dog has never been back.Cats have a roving commission but at least they bury it.I appreciate its annoying but there are ways and means round it without resorting to the replies given.I realise they were given in jest but how do you know who is reading the posts and taking them seriously.You have to watch - a lot of nutters out there!
Whilst I appreciate it's a family site etc etc etc, and I understand some people's sensibilities especially regarding little furry creatures are easily offended, you could say the same about literally any subject posted on answerbank. I personally find scores of postings really offensive on a huge variety of topics, some said seriously, some said jokingly. I just try not to let it bother me as if I object I will be trying to force people to behave in a way which I find personally acceptable and which negates their rights to post what they wish to here which is not the point of this site.
I'm sorry if smeone is genuinely terribly, terribly upset by some of these silly answers, but in the big scheme of things this is just not important enough to curtail someone's rights to post, just because a few individuals don't like it.
Hi Drisgirl :) Mrs Nox is still resembling a small blue whale at the moment, she's always late for everything.lol
I'll let you know as soon as soon as anything happens, it's bound to be tomorrow because we're moving house!We organise things so well...... NOT.
Apologies peanut for the slight hijack of your thread:)
