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
