The dilemma of the old street dogs

He has been to the shelter Calvin, when his grotty little rag started and he wanted something other than adverts to put in it, and he used to try and charge 1TL for it then.

We are horrified by the comments made by Jenbo and the fact that Rocky was removed from the shelter where he had guaranteed food, shelter and 'friends' to play with, into an uncertain future - how irresponsible!

Jenbo you really would not have made those comments if you knew of the tireless work that Tinkerman & Animal Aid do on behalf of all the animals here, whether it be day or night. They deal with very distressing situations which must break their hearts, but they keep on going for the sake of the animals.

We would also suggest that an apology is due!

You haven't read my postings properly. Rocky was permanently locked inside so had no-one to play with! He was due to be sent with an unknown man to Antalya...maybe for dog fighting purposes? who knows, the shelter couldn't tell us anything about him! When he was taken from the shelter he also had an injured paw which had not been seen to so everything not as rosey as you make it out to be. I have apologised to Tinkerman, I know you people are working very hard and doing the best you can for animals in Fethiye but really I don't know why I even came on this forum in the first place as it's the same as it ever was, people passing opinions when they don't really know the full story or the true facts.

Jenbo that is exactly what you have done, you passing opinions on people like Andy and his team who spend hours every day raising funds to help local animals, giving their own time and I don't doubt a lot of money too.
 Get your facts right before coming on the forum then it would not be a problem

I cant find the story on the Aegean Independent site.   Its not very user friendly.  Has anyone found Rocky's story??  I am glad you have apologised to Tinx, he SO deserved it.  His whole life is spent caring for animals.  WHen he isn't actively doing things, he is still on the alert, plus people can phone him at all times.  We are very lucky to have this amazing man AND Pauline (his wife) looking after the animals of the area.

of course it was locked in, it was taken there by the zabita as a dog who had attacked someone, had the dog stayed there and proved to be no problem it would have been released into the open with the other dogs.

I have nothing more to say to you people....you are only concerned with each others feelings and comments...I have cared for Rocky fr 8 years and I know a distressed dog when I see one and he was very distressed and sad in the shelter...to reiterate once more (as it seems none of you are able to read) HE WAS LOCKED INSIDE a small pen unable to run free! Tinkerman you are obviously a hero amongst your friends but there are other people who rescue many animals without the notoriety....I have rescued 18 kittens and 3 dogs so far and don't want to waste anymore of my energy trying to defend myself or Rocky on this site...Tinkerman you and your friends have also insulted me by insinuating I am iresponsible and you have accused Rocky of crimes I KNOW (and so does the rest of the street) he hasn't done!

[jenbo]

Karaoke mark...then why didn't Tinkerman reveal himself from the start instead of attacking my comments from the off! All of you, re-read from the start and get YOUR facts right! I expected some viable suggestions as to how to help this dog not an on-slaught from a bunch of mis-guided philanthropists! Rocky was still in THE PEN after 10 days! I think I should report one of you for attacking me without ANY evidence then lock you up for 10 days with an infected foot...I glean from this Rocky will not be getting any help from you people...I came on here to help find him a decent home WITH space to live out his days in peace but it has turned into a ridiculous and unnecessary arguement...our street will look elsewhere for help in the future.

If Rocky had been left at the shelter his paw would have been treated, there is no mention that you or your "street" were doing anything about this.
You were the one who called tinx all sorts of names before finding out who he was, research lady, research.

As usual with this type of thing, it's the rest of the world out of step, not you.

[johnboy1967]

Jenbo, you insulted the main person who would have given all his time and effort to help you without even finding out who he was... Noone here wants to see Rocky upset and we all hope you find a suitable home for him...
