I used to go in the very early days and it is still known as Pilton locally (the name of the nearest village). It was fun and everyone cleared their rubbish on the last day; left the field spotless. Now it is a massive commercial enterprise arranged around money and lots of it. 5,000 tents were left behind - abandoned. All very far from the hippie/biker early days. To my mind it has reached rock bottom this year. Some scum not only sneaked a dog in which must have been terrifying for it (there were 100 stages playing live music this year let alone the crowds and general drunken weirdness) but they then abandoned the poor thing and left it behind. All round gggggrrrrr from me! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ue-workers-appeal-information-belongs-to.html
Re: Dog found abandoned at Glastonbury Festival Poor puppy!Now it's made the news I hope there will be a whole pool of genuinely nice people stepping forward to adopt. Gosh ,the photos of the area after the event....it looks like a war zone
Re: Dog found abandoned at Glastonbury Festival Poor dog. I saw the article in the paper. Your right Roz taking a dog to Glastonbury in the first place is cruel no wonder it had stayed in the tent must've been terrified. Apart from all the other noise they have massive fireworks on the last night. Biggest I've ever seen. Yes I went once. Never again. TOILETS!!!!! Or lack of them. :-\. I bet I was one of the few who washed their hair at Glastonbury !!! ;D. Thankfully it was hot so a bucket of cold water was quite nice. I went the year Rolph Harris played !!! The year after they had Johnny Cash how cool would that have been. It struck me they've sold out to the money machine from it's origin. I quite like the idea of being a hippy chick but I'd still have had to wash my hair and I like a flushing toilet so maybe not. Poor pup

Re: Dog found abandoned at Glastonbury Festival Apparently Dolly Parton has adopted the dog. ;D. Although I don't know if she will be taking it back to the US with her. ???

Re: Dog found abandoned at Glastonbury Festival UPDATE Oh no very wrong. How do you forget your dog in a tent !!!! and like you said Roz it shouldn't have been there in the first place.
Re: Dog found abandoned at Glastonbury Festival UPDATE If you abandon a dog I am surprised you are allowed to have it back.
