supergran71 Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 I wonder if anyone watched Casulty tonight. I am a regular viewer, but I had to turn it off tonight, when they showed a young dog being terrified by flames. I know it was probably short lived, I didnt watch to find out, but that dog was terrified and it was wrong to do that. I have sent an email to the BBC complaining about it. Have to wait and see what they say. I wont be watching Casulty again, no loss. Quote
pipread Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Rarely watch casualty now adays, seems to me they`re struggling to find new ideas, the program seems tired, and now it sounds like they`re resorting to inappropriate storylines. Quote
Inver Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Never found out what happened to the dog actually....when Dixie went back to her flat the dog wasn't there and she burst into tears worrying where it was and that was the end. Quote

I expect it bolted!!! Haven't heard from the BBC yet. Quote
Janet Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Hopefully he'll be okay. He was so cute! I've gone off Casualty in recent times. I used to watch without fail, but I tend to prefer Holby City these days. Quote
Kell Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Crikey, is this still on??? Didn't it jump the shark years ago? Quote
beef Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Crikey, is this still on??? Didn't it jump the shark years ago? +1 I am not 100% sure what it is that upset you ? That there was a dog being scared by a fire?? I am quite sure the dog was at all times safe and possibly has even been trained to be used to fire. I dont see the problem, there are scenes with people near fire all the time, what makes a dog any different? If something upsets you on tv...turn it off. Quote
supergran71 Posted October 27, 2008 Author Posted October 27, 2008 +1 If something upsets you on tv...turn it off. I did!! It was a puppy and was obviously terrified, never mind trained Beef and the set went off immediately. Quote
beef Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 you turned it off, move on. complaining wont take back what happened. As much as I complain when I dont like something, people these days care more about animals than people.. Quote
beef Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 I am not saying she does not,I am simply saying rather than file a complaint that will be ignored and cant change what happened she should move on and maybe even find something better than casualty. Lots of things on TV annoy me, rather than write to tv stations every time they air a new reality tv show, I just don't watch it. (while being angry at those who do ) Quote
beef Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 yes, some, a VERY small %. If Casualty is taken off air it is not going to be over a few complains, it will be because it's played out. Why is Animal cruelty rated higher than human suffering ? was really my main point.. Quote
beef Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Not when they play dead characters they dont.. or when they are water boarded etc. Of course that just doesn't rank to a possibly scared puppy. Quote

As much as I complain when I dont like something, people these days care more about animals than people.. I wonder if you would speak to your grandmother like that Beef? If my grandson did, I would clip him round the earhole. I am entitled to my opinion same as you are, so back off please!!! Incidentally, I don't make a regular practice of making complaints about tv programmes can't be bothered normally. Thanks for your support Heather Quote

beef Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 (edited) No I woudlent, Then again she is like a second mother to me where as you are just a name on a screen. what does that have to do with it? Am I to treat you differently because your older? That would be a breach of your rights to not be excluded due to your age. You are entitled to your opinion - And when you post it on the internet I am entitled to question it. If you dont like your opinion being questioned, dont put it online. *edit* changed last line as this is *not* in the debate room:smile2: Edited October 27, 2008 by beef Quote

I find your reply to supergran rude & in parts offensive. It just goes to show what an ignorant immature little fool you are. Whilst you my be "academically clever" with your flash replies, you in fact seem to lack social skills, so i thought a rude response back to you was needed. While everyone is entilted to there opinion, there is a appropriate way to express your views & the way you did it above was not the right one. Quote
Nici Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Please can you not post personal comments on the forum. Quote

P.S respect is earned not demanded because you are old. Quote
Owen Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 But one persons opinion is not more important than anothers - be that through age, sex or race. Just because someone is older than someone else does not mean their words carry anymore weight than anyone elses. As the bovine said, respect is earned. Quote
