Default Should naming and shaming be allowed?

Following on from another thread, do you think it should be allowed on public forums?

I would love it to be ok, but at the end of the day, it only causes problems for t-bo which is unfair on him. I voted No.

Yea i think it should be allowed BUT you must have evidence to surport your report like a photo...and also it should be done in a way that cannot start arguements =] although yes they can already start arguements if youve shamed someone lol

I agree you need to have evidence otherwise you could get people ruining reputations because of personal vendettas which is wrong

Without a doubt.

Name and shame, then send the shop/breeder/whatever a letter offering them to come on and defend themselves.

Obviously we all want whats best for the animals and NOT a slagging match.

Its difficult though, so many people bitch on here but do nothing.

Then again i've been in contact with the rspca about a certain shop for 3 months, they have visited a few times but I still dont know what action will / will not be taken.

Hard decisions.

I think it depend... What someone sees as mistreating an animal, another person may say as difference in keeping styles.

Some cases are more extreme than others... I would say it should be allowed, but the person/shop MUST be able to defend themselves, but this couldn't really be guaranted.

There should be a list like I know they have in america, where there are threads for breeders/ shops, and people comment with negative or positive experiences.
