I have just seen a few minutes of 'The Dog Whisperer' on Sky 3 (11 March 2009).

I am disgusted by the way he is treating what appeared to be a young Dobermann - he might 'whisper' well, but he does NOT need to punch the dog behind the jaw or yank on the lead sufficiently for the dog's front legs to leave the ground.

He also said the the dog's crying out and whimpering 'were what dogs do' - wrong - the dog was in distress - being restrained for a longer period than was tolerable. This is not
good animal welfare.

Is he in the UK? If so, perhaps the RSPCA could get involved.

I am not involved in any way with 'Animal Rights' - I am just a concerned dog owner.

Dr. J. D. Baines: The programme is in the US, where I presume they think that this is OK, in the same way they keep their cats indoors and declaw them.

Why oh why, is Sky 3 putting the very good programme "Dangerous Companions" on at such silly times and not in the evening for everyone to watch an yet they keep putting on the same repeats of the Lion Man over and over again ?

What has happened to Sky 3 on Freeview? The signal was poor last week, and the channell has been off air for the last few days. Has it been withdrawn fron Freeview as threatened in 2007?
Peter Walduck
Thursday 14 May 2009 12:59PM
There is SOMETIMES a programme on Sky 3 called Dangerous Companions. A brilliant programme but Sky 3 either only show it when they want to or they put it on in the afternoon or middle of the night and yet during the evening between say 7pm and 10pm they prsist in showing repeats over and over again of either Road Wars or the Dog whisperer or Lion Man, programmes which have beern shown time and time again. But the programme "Dangerous Companions" is a brilliant progamme and Sky 3 are reluctant to put it on at sensible times IF AT ALL !

Sky 3's 'mothers who leave their children' provided interesting viewing. The presenter however, seemed to be surprised to discover fathers perfectly capable of providing good, loving parental care to the children left with them. This is not news to single fathers like me. However, what I took exception to was the presenter's description of the father's parenting, as good 'mothering'. It is simply good parenting. A good father does not have to emulate a good mother to provide good care, he simply does what he feels is right. A good single mother would not be described as exhibiting 'good fathering' skills would she?

There are at least as many good fathers as mothers, and it is so unjust that this is not recognised by so-called 'family courts' when families break up

I just love the Lion Man programes and so do the rest of our family. We love all the repeats too and want to see a new set of programes made too.

Please start a donation for Craig Bush and not Zion Wildlife Park so that HE CAN REGAIN BACK HIS PRECIOUS CATS AND LAND FROM HIS GRASPING MOTHER! Sky 3 you owe it to him to help him out here.

I would be the first to donate followed by my family and friends if only we knew where to send such donations as would get to him and him alone.

Please don't stop showing the lion man programes.

I set my recorder to tape the last 3 episodes of "the Lion Man"(Episodes 18-20)whilst I was away on holiday. For some reason the episodes did not record. Were they actually taken off the air because of the reported death of one of the keepers at Zion Wildlife Park?

Will we ever get some more recent Dog Whisperer? The same series is endlessly, endlessly, tediously, annoyingly repeated, it must be at LEAST three years now!
Briantist
Friday 7 August 2009 9:48AM
lorraine thurlow: According to en.wikipedia.org link icon Dog Whisperer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia there are only 109 episodes.

Sky 3 showed an episode of "Dexter" on
Sunday 18th April(not sure if it was the first of the new series or not) I cannot now see it listed to be shown anywhere. As I loved it when it was on last year -cannot remember which channel- I was pleased to see it return. So what is going on?

Thanks!

Will Sky3 TV be seeing to it that the so far racially biased program Road Wars gets the mix a lot more EVEN , I have been watching this since the start of Sky3 Road Wars and find it a VERY insulting Program as far as it's filming and consequent showing of cases involving Black Asian or other Ethnic groups and to be almost entirely biased towards Portraying the White English man as the only Guilty party in the Country .

This program needs a major league shakeup to bring it into line with the ACTUAL WORLD not the Racists rose coloured blacks can do no wrong version that is currently showing

In the prog "are you smarter than a ten year old" you ask questions on english grammar including about apostrophes and yet when information comes up you have GCSE's when it is plural and should not have an apostrophy.
It would be good to have this corrected

just been watching an episode of Are you smarter than.A contestant incorrectly said Edinburgh was More westerly than london or Birmingham.The presenters told her she was right.She was wrong it's on the EAST coast of Scotland.I should know,i was born there.
Ian Porter
Monday 1 November 2010 12:41AM
Andrew, this sort of question is often referred to as a "trick question" to suck in the gullible. The fact that Edinburgh is on the east coast of Scotland is irrelevant. The longitude (the vertical lines on a map) is 3 degrees west (rounded to the nearest degree), Birmingham is 2 degrees west and London is 0 degrees west (think of Greenwich). It might be easier for you to go into Google Earth and using the menus set view/grid on. Zoom to get the whole of the UK onto the screen. It makes it very obvious. You are clearly not smarter than a (insert any number) old.
Briantist
Monday 1 November 2010 5:22AM
Ian Porter: Yes, it is always worth remembering that Berwick upon Tweed is on the same longitude as Birmingham, as are Grimsby and Greenwich.
Andrew

Ian:
Well i don't consider myself to be gullable and hope that i am"Smarter Than A Ten Year Old".So maybe your theory about grid references is technically correct but trick question or not,the way it was worded was misleading.Off to watch a proper quiz show,"Eggheads"

I am very disappointed with Noel Edmonds on Are You Smarter than a Ten Year Old. He is excellent on Deal or No Deal but on this show, he is awful. He always looks impatient. He often pUts the contestants down to the point of embarrassing them. The two men who present this show are 100 times better. Get Noel off this show. If he wasn't given the answers , he wouldn't have a clue so He is NOT SMARTER THAN THE CONTESTANT like he acts he is..

I would like to send her best wishes for a speedy end to her muscular problems - she is such a lovely lady, coping with great fortitude and guts. God bless her. Please forward our best wishes if possible.
