He shouldn't be sacked, but really...what a fool. Things like this are not all that uncommon, someone famous getting into trouble for an online comment. You'd thing he'd have learned, wouldn't you?

He is a prize prat that is very lucky indeed to be on the Corrie gravy train with his acting 'skills' but he wont be sacked for this, just get a slap on the wrist and make a "hearfelt" apology with the usual bla bla about didnt mean to offend anyone trash

Why? ![]() And what do you mean, 'bs apoligies'? Would you have preferred he didn't apologise? Would that have made it better in your eyes? Talk about hysterical overreaction on here. Tasteless jokes flood the internet after every disaster, including the far more tragic ones which affect real human beings.

I don't think Jack should be sacked, just learn to put his brain into gear before tweeting.

So you don't think these killings have affected any human beings ? What about the people who work there do you not think these have not been affected by it?
And while we're on the subject, why is it only the deaths of 'cute furry' animals that cause such ott outpourings of grief? Are all these grief-stricken animal lovers in a similar perpetual state of outrage over the activities of Rentokil for example, as they tuck into their bacon butties of a morning, or their minted roast leg of lamb of an evening? ![]() Again, key word should be 'perspective'.

Nobody's saying it isn't sad when any living thing dies, of course it is, but let's at least try and keep a little perspective here. The sadness a few kennel workers feel for the loss of the dogs in their professional care can hardly equate to the life-changing misery caused by the loss of a mother/father/wife/husband/sister/friend etc etc.

I'm certainly not. Again, a ridiculous generalization with zero foundation. I personally think it's rather disturbing that you feel the angry reaction to a dog shelter being set alight is "over the top". Anyway, if you don't value animal life, fair enough, but some other people do, and you have no authority to state that nobody out there can possibly feel real grief from their deaths, just because you don't. As I said, speak for yourself and let others feel the way they do, instead of claiming that they have no "perspective" for actually feeling different than you. |

I do think bosses of programmes like Corrie should lay down some guidelines for their stupid young "stars" though as there are constantly incidents like this damaging the programme's reputation. |

Perhaps you should just speak for yourself, instead of making generalizations based on your own views towards animals. Some people do feel strong bonds with animals, you're in no position to state that a loss of an animal can't possibly mean as much to someone as other possible losses. I lost a pet this year, and as far as I'm concerned she was part of the family.

I don't deny that people have a strong bond with their beloved pets. In this case however, these were not beloved pets, they were stray dogs, cared about by nobody except their professional carers....... until they died of course. 3. It's a known fact that the overwhelming majority of people in the UK are not vegetarian. (In the years 2010, 2011 and 2012, only 2% of people surveyed by the UK Vegetarian Society each year claimed to be vegetarians). So hardly 'zero foundation' then? |

1. Sorry, I forgot that I'm apparently obliged to state at the beginning of every post I make on a public forum that I am expressing my personal opinion and have not first carried out a straw poll of a significant percentage of the population. My bad.

It appears to me that a lot of people in this country has become far sicker than the comments and jokes they make faux complaints about, a sickness that is becoming professionally offended at any comment they choose to be offended about that day from the comfort of their armchair just because they can, they want people sacked not because of what they say but because they decide they don't like them, and that is pathetic to my mind. I wonder, these people complaining, if we checked their tweets etc how many are fuming at the little oik who set the fire and remains unnamed and will probably go unpunished . One idiot on Twitter who calls for a boycott of ITV by viewers and advertisers in a previosu Tweet about DLT stated the media and Jury should basically shut up and not behave like Judge and Jury ??? talk about double standards |

It just means that the internet has more than it's fair share of insensitive morons

And it's unheard of for the "professional carers" to, like they would with a pet, form bonds with the animals they care for? To suggest that this event would cause little sadness is nonsensical. As is your suggestion that the rest of the animal loving population didn't "care" about them. As somebody who values animals, I always feel sadness when I hear stories about animal suffering. Again, you really need to stop speaking for others and acting like you know more about the subject than you actually do. 3. The "overwhelming population" isn't everybody, while your post generalized the animal lovers outraged by this (no, not just some of them) as being hypocrites who eat meat. So, yes, that particular suggestion had "zero foundation". |
