Re: Government response to the recent dog breeding storyline in Eastenders I'm not a watcher of Eastenders but I'm aware of the challenging subjects they've dealt with in the past and I hope they do thus subject matter justice for all those dogs that have no-one to speak for them :'(
Re: Government response to the recent dog breeding storyline in Eastenders Well how about that. Will he interesting to see how the dog breeding storyline evolves. I don't watch EastEnders (though now I have the tune stuck in my head) but would like to know how it turns out.
Re: Government response to the recent dog breeding storyline in Eastenders I don't think they will Barbara, I do watch Eastenders, the family are short of cash and see that breeding from the Bulldog can make them a lot of quick cash. It all goes wrong when they Bulldog is left unattended and is mated by the local lovely mongrel, so not sure how the story line will pan out. Very irresponsible story line and totally gives out the wrong message :'(
Re: Government response to the recent dog breeding storyline in Eastenders I don't hold out much hope for e decent end to this storyline. Twice they have had a parrot as part of a story and both times the birds escaped but there was no upset, no search - in fact they were never mentioned again. Absolutely infuriated all the parroty people.
Re: Government response to the recent dog breeding storyline in Eastenders Doesn't sound promising, does it. I guess it's a soap, not a government-funded education campaign, but still..... You'd think they could do better.
Re: Government response to the recent dog breeding storyline in Eastenders One of the main characters had a boxer puppy for a while. It just … disappeared out of the story line.

I'd rather they didn't have any dogs in the soap than misrepresent or gloss over the issues

Um...I think this is right, to an extent anyway.
