I understand its attention grabbing, why do the press have to sensationalise things ? in relation to the above story the dogs were not specifically used for the protection of Prince William, never the less its a sad story

I take all news stories with a pinch of salt. There's always some slant on it, never the truth.

Example- photo of a woman smiling- one paper says she's happy to be rid of her ex. Seconds later she sneezed and grimaced- another paper prints the pic saying she's heartbroken and in tears because her ex left her. Madness.

"Daily Mail - comes as no surprise to me."

While no paper is blameless, complaining about sensationalist, headline grabbing, but not quite true stories in The Mail (or The Express for that matter) is a bit like complaining about semi-naked women and sexist/racist undertones in The Sun or Star. Some things are a given where certain papers are concerened

It is very sad, but unfortunately it is very difficult to re home these kind of dogs. They have never been treated as pets.Imagine the outcry if one of these dogs mauled, causing serious injury or even death. The military have always taken a very matter of fact view towards their animals.

All it really needed was a Diana angle - something about 'if they had to die, couldn't it have been running free through a minefield?' would have suited them.

Also adds fuel to the fire for deluded conspiracy theorists.

What I meant was the military can't afford to be too sentimental about animals. Thousands of horses were destroyed or sold to butchers at the end off the first world war. There was no time or money to patch up and re home these animals.

Now a days every effort is made to rehome mwa unless they pose a danger or its more humane for health reasons. This story is just ludicrous god know why so many sources have picked it up

I disagree. It's very much the case.

A relationship (now!) may form between an individual handler and dog but as far as the Armed Forces (and the police)as a whole are concerned, they're just another expendable asset, like horses in the trenches.

Whilst that's a popular belief, he's never actually been charged with anything - far less convicted.

That would make your statement defamatory.

Don't worry, he won't sue - he really doesn't need your house or your car.

Yeah. Bloody BBC and The Independent. Just like the Daily Mail aren't they?
