I saw it on Mail Online and it really angered me.

It’s the way things are now ,with any luck BLM will fizzle into oblivion and all lives will matter ( I can dream)

He’ll be turning in his grave. And then a sitting up and beg, and shaking a paw.

I am amazed this is causing any fuss. The dog died, the owners are also now dead, the land is presumably council owned. Human headstones may be moved after time has elapsed. Removing it will prevent it becoming a vector for dissent. Its a pity that the Wail got hold of the story, better that it had been done without fuss.

1902...did the dog's relatives still flower the the grave?

Bit of a 'meh' story.

Really?? The removal of a 120 year old gravestone of a pooch angered you? Sounds like someone forgot to take her happy pills this morning to get triggered over such irrelevance.

there will be a lot of broken-hearted puppies, no doubt, but offensive words are quite routinely banned on headstones, and as woofgang says, headstones and graves reused, even human ones.

Wow mozz did you get out of bed the wrong side this morning?? YES, it really angered me and I don't care what you think about that.

[ummmm]

Gosh...it's a bit early!!

I agree with Woof, Mozz and jno. It's a non story really.

[MartinMillar]

Non story but gives something for people to get their knickers in a twist over

//Wow mozz did you get out of bed the wrong side this morning??//

Nope, in fine fettle, thanks for asking.


//YES, it really angered me and I don't care what you think about that.//

Probably for the best that you don't. ;-)

I'm not upset that they removed it per se, I'm just annoyed at the reason why.

[iluvmargie]

^ And that is why I am angry.

[iluvmargie]

Why is it for the best Mozz?? Do tell.
