On BBC2 just now, God that was depressing.

Did anyone else watch it?

Highly depressing those poor dogs and what they are going to endure during their life.

As for the people well I just shake my head in despair where have they come from where they bred in a labour funded lab and then dropped in this country around 12 years ago. I was born and raised on a council estate in Luton not a bad estate but not good either and there where some rough families but I cant recall anyone being like that.

I fear for this country and my children.

Hopefully it will put some people off breeding dogs seeing how difficult it is.

Agreed. So many people think that getting their dog to have a litter is a get rich quick opportunity, without any thought for the welfare of the pups.

With the possible exception of the lady who had lost her partner, all the folk in the documentary came across as scummy pillocks. Especially the bloke who had to pay for his pup in instalments & couldn't afford to get the innoculations done - if you can't afford to keep an animal and look after it properly, don't f*%*ing get one you moron...

A good friend of mine has just started as a animal welfare officer in East London - I'm sure that she'll be coming across many cases like this.
