Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

It seems like a ban on imports and required spaying and neutering would be a less cruel solution. Then when you find dogs younger than the ban you could start talking about euthanizing them.

Also what the law requires. Nothing requires safe existing dogs to be euthenised. Just registered and kept in a safe manner.

That said planty of people who are opposed to such laws. Are very willing to spend time talking to vets as a way to use the new law to avoid the responsibility of their own choice. Lets face it a few vest talking to MPs, is far from outside of the number of irrisponsible unprepared breed choosers unwilling to admit they made a mistake.
