Should that be PAWS for thought?
It's like negative product reviews on their website, they will always make the excuse that it does not meet their criteria so will not be published, has anyone ever seen and understood their criteria?I think it's important to see the positive and negative considerations/consequences of products. It enables us all to make informed decisions.
Just as doctors are duty-bound to advise of the risks as well as the benefits of surgery, even if they don't do it on air, QVC should allow an alternative point of view to be expressed on social media they use. Just imagine that instead of facebook/twitter that you had this discussion... you would debate and pursuade someone who disagrees with you - not tell them to get lost! QVC don't seem to get that it's supposed to be a conversation and a social interaction. If someone is being foul-mouthed and abusive towards other participants in the debate, then yes, tell them they're not welcome if they continue in that vein... but honestly we are all going to be come more ignorant, more suspicious, and less open to alternative ideas if they are routinely suppressed.
I don't really know why people are getting themselves so stressed out about this when there is actually no confirmation that QVC UK are actually going to be selling them. It's like Chinese whispers on that Facebook page.
There`s a massive uproar on Q`s facebook page at the moment. Someone posted earlier today that QVC are to be selling the type of dog training collar which gives the animal an electric shock. I think the brand quoted is called Garmin. I know very little about these contraptions and would find it hard to believe that people think its acceptable to use such a thing.
Anyway someone from Q`s social media team has said they`ll speak to the buyers and feedback whether such items are to be sold or not. Someone posted that they are illegal in Wales ( rightly so ) and as yet, it isn`t clear whether they`d be sold on QVC UK or in the US. Either way, Q will still be profiting from animal cruelty in my opinion.
I guess we`ll all have to wait and see whether they will or won`t be selling them. All I can say is it`s caused quite an uproar and there are obviously strong feelings about it.
How could so called animal loving presenters, many of whom own dogs, Debbie, Dale, Chloe, AY, Charlie etc possibly be comfortable selling these barbaric items ?
remember reading some years back of a country singer US one of the Judds(mother and daughter very big over there. Sister Ashley is an actress). Anyway she didn't like her dog barking so took to the vet and had its vocal chords cut.

Or better still train it to be well behaved with kindness.That is an obscene thing to do! Why, if your dog's behaviour causes you a problem, arrange to have the dog rehomed rather than mutilate it?
