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

| Quote ="dr_feelgood"Can't help thinking that £800k would be better spent on the homeless around Manchester.'"
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 ?

I am sure they will have been insured, but presumably "they" are a charity and really it is the people who donate time and/or money you are referring to when you say "they".
Rescue premises for dogs are few and far between and if this money enables them to build bigger and better premises then that's great.
I think I read that over 100 dogs were injured, I sadly know a bit about vet's bills, and even if that costs only on average £250 per injured dog then that's a quarter of the money gone already.
The places do have volunteers but they do also have paid staff and any wage bill when added up and annualise can very quickly make even £1m look like peanuts.
So I don't think that the money is actually that much compared with what they need.
I don't turn my nose up at beggars but sadly proceed on the basis that it's odds-on no beggar is actually a beggar since the majority either aren't, or increasingly are parts of criminal gangs even if albeit coerced into begging. Either way I prefer to donate anything I might want to give to homeless charities. Which is very easy to do nowadays and of which there are many.

Rescue premises for dogs are few & far between? Can you expand on that?

There used to be RSPCA and a couple more in the Bradford area. We got a rescue dog from each one of the non-RSPCA ones in recent years, and both are now shut. Haven't looked recently but so far as I know if not the RSPCA then there's nothing else now except rehoming organisations, but they don't have a kennels like the Manchester fire one.
I don't know about Manchester except what I read after this fire but they reportedly just have another one, which took as many of the dogs as it could.
Do you think they are all over the place, or what, as I don't really get why you asked?

You said places were few & far between when talking about the happenings in Manchester. You didn't qualify it. I can't see how your perception of Bradford is relevant to Manchester, upon which you were commenting & claiming there weren't enough of the type of place that burned down.

Then you appear to have difficulty in either reading, thinking, or both. I said:
Quote Rescue premises for dogs are few and far between'"
... which they are.
I [ididn't[/i say:
Quote "Rescue premises for dogs are few and far between[i in Manchester[/i"'"
and the context makes it perfectly clear that the comment was a general one, and not restricted to Manchester. I find it hard to see how a reasonable person would think otherwise.
I find it also hard to get the point of it, since if I had restricted the comment to Manchester, it would still, seemingly, be true as according to the reports I have read there is only 1 other similar sized place, and that wasn't big enough to take all the dogs, many of which are having to be 'fostered'.
But I find it harder to work out why a reasonable person would want to derail a thread about the terrible events at Manchester Dogs Home with some bogus and pointless argument about semantics.

Not sure that they actually have a dogs home in Bradford at all, our dog came from the Dogs Trust in Leeds but he was picked up as an abandoned stray in Bradford by the councils dog warden, kept for seven days by the warden service then passed to DT Leeds.

It's not a matter of semantics. Or my reading & comprehension skills.
have you got anything to back up your claim that there is a shortage of these sort of places? Are we now to assume you meant nationally? Or did you mean in Manchester, or Bradford?
Your emotions are getting the better of you, it would seem.

Both.
The only reason that Dogs Trust manage to honour their "We never put a healthy dog to sleep" promise is because they do not have an open door to every stray that is picked up, its always a case of one out one in, fortunately they have a high rehoming level and there is a constant flow through the door - mainly terrier variations as is the current fashion...

Does it matter? If otherwise healthy dogs are put down, either on cost of keeping grounds or for lack of space, it's the same thing, isn't it?
I mean, in the unlikely event that there are acres of rescue-dog cages that are there but never used, because the rescue centre can't afford to, then they might as well not be there at all, wouldn't you say?
FWIW most rescue centres are pretty much full, most of the time. Given that well in excess of 100,000 stray dogs are rounded up each year, that's not surprising. Of course the majority of these are not destroyed, in fact around 7% are destroyed, of which around half are not destroyed for behavioural issues or illness and as no rescue centre you might think would destroy the rest for no reason, probably the other half is a reasonable estimate of the number destroyed for lack of resources.
In the year to March 2014 around 1.300 strays were put to sleep in the general Yorkshire region.

Depends on your definition of "rescue centre" though, I contribute some effort occasionally to a German Shepherd rescue group who fundraise to pay for commercial kennel space for GSD's that have been handed over for rehoming for a variety of reasons, such rescue groups would never destroy a healthy dog (and the one I am involved in don't even euthanise sick dogs unless its on vets advice) as its in direct conflict with their reason for being.
However part of the rescuing that happens involves other "rescue centres" which are really just holding centres for abandoned dogs, I almost hesitate to name the RSPCA as they aren't the only ones, but its fairly common to find an appeal made for funding for a GSD (in this instance) who is on a time limited stay in a "holding centre", generally recognised breeds will always go to dedicated breed rescue organisations but for the mongrols its often euthanasia simply because there is nowhere else to put them.
Its even worse in the USA where there are constant appeals to help dogs even from recognised breeds that have only days left before euthanasia.

Commonly known as "pounds". Most Council Dog Warden strays are put in this type of kennel facility. My Staffy/Collie was in the "pound" in Wakefield and was on her last day (7th day) and ready to be euthanised. West Yorkshire Dog Rescue stepped in. They don't have kennels, but instead have fosterers who will have the dog until a home is found regardless of length of time.

I wasn't aiming to write definitions. I'm talking about "them places where stray or unwanted dogs are taken for someone to decide what will become of them", if you like.
Quote ="JerryChicken"Its even worse in the USA where there are constant appeals to help dogs even from recognised breeds that have only days left before euthanasia.'"
Indeed, I saw a recent programme about just that (Louis Theroux in LA) and there was pretty much a production line of dogs for destruction. The staff he spoke to had lengthy experience of the way it is, yet still shed a tear for the euthanased dogs, they never really got used to it. But they have such a predictable influx of new dogs, they know how many have to go per week to accommodate the newcomers.

Yawn. You used a totally unsubstantited & unprovable claim to support your position. That you don't like being called out on this is your problem.
Good to see you still haven't substantiated your claim. Yawn.
Is it an observation or a claim that thousands of dogs are destroyed because there is no room for them? Any verifiable stats to back this up?
