twodogs 1 Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Surprised there's no debate on here about the advert showing a large, healthy hound in a kennel. Dogs Trust are backing complaints from people claiming it encourages animal abuse. Dog.........in a kennel and a kid is giving him a Christmas stocking Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tallyho 181 Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 I seen the advert nothing cruel about it , also saw in the paper people had made complaints saying it was cruel to keep dogs out side and that dogs should be kept inside . How f*****g pathetic can you get . they have now removed the bit with the dog from the advert . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest chook Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) The Deerhound Rannoch is out in fake snow in the middle of july. But what these people think - is its going to encourage people now to kick their dogs out in to a kennel, that is open fronted. If you want to read more of the drivel - and your on facebook. hear ya go. http://www.(!64.56:886/profile.php?id=559532086#!/pages/Stop-the-John-Lewis-Christmas-Ad/170227882996689 Oh and its not been removed at all, it was always intended to be cut down, when the full ad had run its course - the full ad is still being shown.

ady-b 94 Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 All this fuss over a dog in a kennel but no mention of a child in supposed sub-zero temps walking around in what looks like his PJs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

farlap 19 Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 i think you are missing the point......the point being that the actual basis of the complaint is that the advert (in which no animal actually suffered, it was a mock up of snow etc) might lead people to believe that its perfectly acceptable to keep a dog in a tiny kennel, where it cant even stand up, turn around, or get away from the winter weather/elements, with a bed actually in the snow and therefore getting cold and wet, is a suitable place for a dog to live. And i agree fully that no dog should have to live in the type of kennel that this advert depicts. There are "kennels" and there are "KENNELS", AND THE ONE DEPICTED MOST CERTAINLY IS NOT SUITABLE. Its nothing to do with people saying dogs shouldnt be kept in a kennel per se.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't jump out the seventh storey window and expect a rollercoaster to take me to work like the Barcleycard advert or expect Tony the tiger to pack my snap whilst I finish my frosties. Its not suggested husbandry for dogs, its a f*****g advert, jesus christ.............. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was going to start scoffing weetabix in the hopes that horses would start talking to me - I always fancied talking to a horse. Adverts are so misleading Quote Link to post Share on other sites
