Cork family of abused dog seek help paying veterinary bill | BreakingNews.ie
What happened before all this fundraising shite started ?
If it is a genuine family pet then...
Does home insurance pay for medical treatment for pets?
If found I'd set fire to the youth that did it.
Just seems to be the easy way out these days.
Fckk bargaining with the Vet, easier to set up a fundraising page.

In the old days we were all largely, god-fearing, upright citizens, or hippies, self sustaining, alternative freaks and other types of ne'er -do -well yokels running around like headless chickens.Quote:

Being a dog owner and trainer, I've lost a few dogs,.. mainly due to some narsty criminal barstards (local councils included) with a grudge and an agendum.
I fixed up ALL my own dogs, a local vet helped me once.
Too much bullshit going around with emotionally laden crowd funding appeals for anything from save the flies to putting flowers on Princess Dianna's grave,..(god preserve her sex dripping image).
Whatever happened to the PDSA?
Whatever happened to the quaint old practice whereby the debtor came to an arrangement with their creditor to repay the sum owed over a period of time.
I assume you are talking about the times when company shareholders met up once yearly to have a dinner on the company's behalf, vote in the board members for the next 1 or 2 years after having read the yearly financial report and listened to the boards prediction for the coming year.Quote:

That was long ago, I think times are different now..
There's no trust in the world today. As I recall from my younger days, you could go on holiday and not get broken into. Mind you with there being 5 kids in the family there wasn't anything to steal. :)Quote:

I don't mean just on facebook, but that kind of syndrome
Any channel of finance out of big banks opens new opportunities, to receiver and also to lender.
Crowdfunding allowed many products to launch and investors get hand first on new things, or projects being realized...
Since 1% of the World own more then the rest of the place, getting hand to a little cash even is hard for to many...
If you not like a crowdfunding cause, let it be, may be one day you will find one for you, or might need do one to sort you out.
Crowdfunding is positive
SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS!Quote:

Claim you need £3000 to transport some sick animals back to a sanctuary in england
What would be the next step?
Horses to the States. If the money is not received then the thoroughbreds get sent to the glue factory.

Disgusting...

Heh, few things funnier than a bunch of amnesiac geriatrics doing the "when I were a lad" routine.

My dogs are better than most people. Anybody hurting them intentionally would feel my wrath in the form of a machete.

@maanaam - why was fish a luxury? Did you live inland (landlocked) such that fish was expensive? When I was a kid, we had it most of the week since it was cheaper than other protein sources. Small fish & some veggies, with rice. Chicken, pork & esp beef were luxuries. Ice cream was a luxury too.
There were evenings where my brother, father and I fished for our dinner....no fish meant tomato sandwiches.
^^, Bless your heart Katie....it was satire that I was saying. Inspired I think (not watched it yet) by the likes of Thaimeme's video above.
Just making fun of old geezers talking about how tough life was when they were young.
In actual fact, I was sick of fish...almost a daily occurrence.
Indeed, I think there was a subliminal inspiration from that very video.
I'd rather give £1 to a guy begging in the street. At least he says thanks
Now THAT would work!Quote:

Tributes flow for Victorian woman who drowned on holiday in Cambodia
A YOUNG Victorian woman living in Perth has died while on holiday in Cambodia.
Kristy Blackney drowned, reportedly in a flash flood, near Kampot in the south-east Asian country on Sunday.
The 24-year-old with a “heart of gold’’ grew up in Inverloch, in South Gippsland, before moving to Perth last year.
Ms Blackney’s family and friends have flooded social media with tributes to the “beautiful soul who enlightened us all with her presence”.
Friend Patrick Monaghan said he had been left in shock by her sudden death.
“You always knew how to make someone smile,” he posted on Facebook.
“Always wanted to chat and laugh.
“You will have a everlasting impression on everyone you met.”
Another friend, Alirra Rose Rolfe, paid tribute to the “free-spirited, beautiful girl”.
“The hardest part of any friendship is when its time to say goodbye,” she said.
“Thank you for the endless memories and for bringing nothing but love and laughter everywhere you went.
“You’ve taken a part of each of our hearts with you.”
A Go Fund Me page to raise money to “bring Kristy home”, as well as pay for her funeral, has collected more than $21,000 in 20 hours.
A spokesman for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said the government was “providing consular assistance” to Kristy’s family.
$22,130 of $15k goal
Raised by 419 people in 1 day.
There must be a promoter involved behind the scenes.
Let's start a TD Crowdfunder, then...We'll "resurrect" On Nut Fight Club and even have enough left over for a meet-up...
It could be Dr Terence's "Release From Jail" party...
