I have just looked, the age limit for this site is 16, so anyone under that age should not be looking on here anyway.

Heather,I dont think you have done anything wrong.
We live In a cruel world with cruel people, both to Animals and humans.

It needs to be addressed.

The age is supposedly 18 Maggie.

I was under the belief GR members had to be a certain age. If there are children accessing this site, it is up to their parents - we're not the moral guardians of other people's children!!

But Peter by having that link removed you have now almost certainly increased the chance of someone googling the name and seeing the horrific photographic evidence.

I dont understand your objection when there are threads on here referring to cocaine overdoses and suicide and many different things which children could also google. Get a stiffer upper lip man - its people turning away that have allowed the horrors of the world to continue.

I signed yesterday --still got my original email if anyone wants to contact me to forward it,not pleasant though!

I have signed it!
Its just too awful for words.

OK.

I was just concerned that children might access in appropriate sites as a result of reading this.

It is not that I disagree with the sentiment, just that this is not the forum.

all done heather

Exactly Tina - I cant understand what Peter feels is so objectionable in this thread but appears to be quite happy for kids to read any of the others.


Maggy, totally understand. And we must all stand up and be counted in ALL these matters - burying your head in the sand doesnt make bad things go away.

I also thought it was a sick hoax at first but if you google there are too many entries - and also the Wikipedia and You Tube cover it. I hope to god it isnt a hoax as that would be too awful to contemplate. But I believe it to be genuine as people I know involved in dog rescue have confirmed to me.

Like I say Heather, I'm not objecting to your thread, please don't think I am. Just wish that all the same people would sign Gillian's petition.

I do not wish to get into an argument with anybody on this site but I do have to say if children are allowed on here with parents permission then we should all be watching what we write down in threads.

I would be more worried about the innuendo's on here than the fact of an innocent animal being starved to death if I had children reading threads.

It won't let me sign at the moment. It keeps coming up as an error. But believe me I will keep trying.

I too have googled it,it does seem to be factual,Im just to upset to even think that anyone could call this art!!

Maggy, I agree with you - all these causes should be supported by those with the strength of character to support them and the fact is that this particular petition has gone world wide which is probably why so many have signed it so far.

Peter, you do as you feel fit - but living in a cotton wool cocoon doesnt make the world a safer place.

I've closed the link now.on my pc.....but I googled it and got to the petition via a photography forum !! No graphic pictures to be had.......they were having a discussion too about it on their public forum......which I am sure is open to all age groups. xx

Heather,I have heard of this,I thought it was a hoax to be honest.
If it is Indeed factual I am disgusted that this was allowed to happen.
Are you sure its factual?

Many thanks people - I see someone has managed to have the link removed which is stupid as it was simply a link to a form - there were no photos or information on there to distress those of a sensitive nature. Im glad that most of you feel like me, that the many horrors of the world is condoned by those who feel unable to face and stop the perpetrators.

Im also grateful that GR has shown some common sense and not removed the whole posting, such a shame that the link has gone.

If you have problems because some sensitive soul has demanded the removal of the link ,please contact me - otherwise just google the "artists" name and petition and Im sure you will bring it up.

Once again I apologise if inadvertently you come across any of the photos I referrred to if you google this persons name. You would NOT have done so but for Peter having the innocent link removed. Well done Peter, you may now have people coming across the horrors I was trying to spare them.
