Stray dogs

She is a columnist on The Mail on Sunday. She uses her own family, and her ex-husband, as fodder for her column and boasts continually about how generous she is. She appears to have no loyalty to anyone. Today, she says she rang the Police Helicopter service to demand that they search for her stray cat. She will say anything to get attention, and seems to enjoy offending as many people as possible. She moved to the West Country and wondered why she was very unpopular after she ridiculed the local people. She boasts about her very expensive possessions but says she is desperately short of money.
She has no children but a menagerie of animals.
I read her column because I always find 'naughty' attention-seekers amusing.

Am I being thick? Who is Liz Jones?

In this case, when, yes, Liz Jones appears to have no interest in children whatsoever.
She says there are three million stray dogs in Romania - surely the kindest thing would be to kill them humanely? It is obvious that there are never going to be enough people ready to adopt them.
Apparently, there are thousands of dogs in the UK needing homes - why not concentrate on them instead of adding to their numbers?
I abhor cruelty to any animal, but I would like to see common sense prevail, rather than Liz Jones's emotionalism.

Are these things mutually exclusive, Greatnan? (being rhetorical). I do my bit for children in other countries like many others, but as a dog lover I support what she's done - not often I can say that about Liz Jones.

It's a few less stray dogs in the world and hopefully raises awareness about their plight. These lucky dogs have homes now.

The woman who runs our doggie daycare place locally justifies runnng a business looking after fortunate dogs by raising money for animals in distress, and all her own dogs have been rescued from appalling circumstances. I think humans must help desperate animals across borders where they can, but not instead of children - as well as.
