Dogs

[Supacabby]

If it is the same dog then enough is enough !!!

Allegedly it's not the same one as a couple of weeks ago.

If that is the case Supacabby then that's at least two (minimum) that need to be taken off the streets.

If it wasnt for animal charities charities  Calis would be heaving with cats and dogs
Instead of a couple causing trouble,

I have today removed myself from said FB group after torrents of abuse from one member, egged on by one of the moderators.
No one is allowed an opinion on this or any other dog. 
It seems it's their home,  we should be more careful around them, they used the prom before us etc etc.
Let's see how many businesses start bleating about the lack of custom due to the dogs.
I'm not afraid of dogs and often stop to stroke or give them my doggy bag from the restaurant, not in it I might add but with so much bad press at the moment I think I'll be a bit more cautious now.
Billy complained to the admin of said group when he read the post and it was taken down immediately but the keyboard warriors will no doubt be at it again soon

...and they always said CBF was aggressive and cliquey - we were/are angelic compared with some facebook groups...

You can't win Anne, it astonishes me how tunnel visioned people are when keyboard warrioring - and animals is on par with politics for people who cannot begin to accommodate or at least consider their view may not be the fully correct one. People can be entirely bigoted and unerring in their view of incidents.

For the record, I agree with everything in your post above. We like the dogs, many know us well, I can't remember any negative incident involving us and dogs - but you can't have people on the prom of a holiday resort getting attacked and bitten - even if they shouldn't be riding a bike there, that is simply ridiculous and unjustifiable. I bet their opinion would change if it were them who was bitten.

After years of campaigning and arguing I don't get involved much. Not because I don't want to, I do, I enjoy that sort of thing. The fact is that people are increasingly set in their views as time goes on - some people simply couldn't begin to accommodate that there might be a different view to theirs on Brexit for example. I'd struggle to change any minds, but I didn't want that - I just wanted them to understand why some have an opposing view, like I don't agree with them but am able to see why they might think the way they do.

Ultimately it's about time management and probability of success. I can persuade 97 out of 100 friends on holiday not to leave , and stay for one more, but only 1 in a million Brexiters to convert to remain. So I concentrate on arguments I am more likely to win

It's the same with political discussions Anne.

If people have the temerity to disagree with their views they immediately resort to personal insults to the point that they suggest you shouldn;t even exist.

You are will rid.

It's not the Dogs fault they are there,its not the Expats fault they are there
It's the Turkish people that dump them by the roadside and were ever they  can.
All the dogs want is love and something to eat
I would hate to think what would happen if animal charities packed up.
As the vet have a no  Put down policy..for Cats and Dogs.

It's water off a ducks back to me Keith.  Have dealt with worse in the pub on a Saturday night but at least then I knew what I was dealing with 😂

Davy I agree with what your saying, without the charities the problem would be worse but no one has the right to personally attack, be that verbal or physical another person for having a different opinion. 
The dog in question has now bitten three people, chased and been aggressive towards more if what I've read is correct so, surely the time has come for something more constructive to be done

I know this is about the dogs but I just wanted to say how CBF has and always will be my first port of call re anything I need to know if I want to keep things real and get an unbiased answer.

Some of the FB groups are just completely ridiculous in their rose coloured glasses approach to all things Calis related.
Also re what Highlander has said re if you disagree with some folks views on certain groups.
I do apologise that this is not dog related but last year poss the year before I accidentally quoted a meal at a restaurant as being 10tl too much omg just hang me now! One person would not let it go she tagged the owner too in the thread like because of this Im going to put them out of business!
I apologised to the owner for my genuine mistake but will never go to said restaurant again.

Where is the logic in the argument that the dogs used the prom before we did?

A Turkish man can stab me because they were in Turkey before I was?
