Look, I'm sorry, but what nonsense......
Firstly, so you know where I'm coming from, I'm a genuine dog lover, and only became a dog-less person when our last fellow popped his clogs after 17 years, and our then 3 year-old son became the priority. Up till then, I'd never been without at least one dog, on occassion three.
And, I would find it very hard to give my dog away under any circumstances, but life and circumstances change....
In this case, the owner, Paul Thompson, has taken a responsible means of finding a new home for his animals, because he finds he can no longer look after them as they should ideally be.
He hasn't dumped them by the road, or given them to any of the hundreds of people who offered to take them, or "put them down" - you know, killed them "for their own good" , but given the job over to a very highly regarded organisation, who are well known for their standards of care and love of animals, and are well experienced in homing dogs, Shepherds in particular..
They will vet applications, in order that they go to the best home, rather than leaving it to chance or his own personal feelings.
He is, in short, doing the best he can upon finding he can no longer look after them - for whatever reason.
And hoping the guy ends up homeless because he is trying to do the best he can for his animals, is simply - again, I'm sorry - but "holier than thou" rubbish, ignorant, cruel, and plain wrong.
If nothing else, we have no idea of the circumstances that have led this person to take this decision.
So please, do Google " Paul Tompson stuntman dogs" and learn a bit more before pronouncing your misguided, sentimental misconception of of the case.
In my humble opinion, he has taken the best action anyone could for the dog's welfare, ensuring their health and well-being is paramount - and made sure they stay together.
Finally, forgive my own outburst of "righteous anger" !
over.....
