I have been contacted by someone involved in animal welfare, who has worked 
for this 'charity', asking for this post to be hidden from the newswire:

http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2007/03/364868.html

The post appeared in March so it no longer visible on the current front page 
but the complainer is worried that it appears in the top 10 if you google 
the initials of the organisation. Basically some people (whose opinion and 
expertise on these matters I trust) are trying to educate those involved in 
animal welfare that this 'charity' is an elaborate con that squanders money 
and has healthy animals neadlessly put down amongst other things. The 
concern is, that the unchallenged post on IMC UK (this was before certain 
facts came to light) gives them undeserved credibility for anyone doing a 
bit of research before donating to them.

I suppose given the facts that have come to light the post defies the 
innacurate/misleading guidline. Its also an 'advert' asking for money. I 
dont suppose anyone will complain about a post being hidden that has not 
been visible for months

I know this request is unusual, please get to me at this email with any 
questions.

regards

Guy
