jeffbroadslover Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Can I request that any dog lovers look at Change.org and find the story/petition about the army dogs which are due to be put down because they have come to the end of their working life. I found this a couple of days ago and signed the petition . Since the another 200000 people have done the same. In my opinion there can not be too many signatures on this so PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE take a minute to join in Many, many thanks.

JohnK Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Signed. It’s an interesting one. We used to live in Melton and that centre does fantastic work looking after forces animals. I certainly don’t agree the dogs should be put down but I’m not sure I agree they should go into a domestic situation (even with experienced handlers). Some of those animals have been through hell and have pretty severe behavioural problems. I’m sure the centre has a very good reason for not wanting to release them. But I’m also sure they could give them a pleasant retirement. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffbroadslover Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 Thanks to all those who helped with this victory. Can't believe that these dogs were to be put down when they are fit and healthy. Just proves that we are a nation of animal lovers Thanks again everyone Jeff 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I agree with JohnK, these dogs are trained to attack, have probably had traumatic experiences through no choice of their own and trained by humans to save the day. A family environment is not a good idea but they deserve a peaceful and happy retirement and not to be put down because they've served their purpose and of no use any more Thank you Jeff for bringing it to our attention and giving us a chance to have our say and make a difference Grace 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQ Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Many of these dogs are not trained to attack, they are often those trained for mine, UXB, hidden explosives detection.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Many of these dogs are not trained to attack, they are often those trained for mine, UXB, hidden explosives detection..The majority of the dogs passing through the centre get rehomed.

MauriceMynah Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Hmmm, tin hat firmly on and hiding in a concrete bunker as I type this. 1st off, I love doggies and have had many through the years, and second, if this petition is just as it seems to be, then great and well done to all concerned..... .....but the cynic in me just will not quite swallow it. Over recent years on-line petitions have completely failed to achieve anything significantly positive for a number of reasons. This is not good news for the people earning their living from running such websites. So! How to improve the overall image of said sites? How about taking something non political that will have pretty universal agreement and later advertising it as a success. Yup, that'll do the trick. Sorry folks, I just can't accept these things as genuine but merely a money making exercise for someone.

Chelsea14Ian Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Pleased these dogs will not be put down.Hope they get a full pension. I think it is a disgrace,that men women and indeed animals are treated once they leave the force's. They put there lives on the line and should be treated with respect . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
