Stand up for the pub bitch

Progress is slowly being made against the anti-animal discrimination which is rife in the public bars of Britain. Hatty the Lakeland terrier was barred from the Jolly Sailor in Prestatyn accused of chewing the beer mats. However the landlord had a change of mind after anger from regulars.

"I came down one night and all the regulars were throwing beer mats for her so really speaking, we shouldn't be blaming Hatty, we should be blaming the regulars," reported the landlord.

However the landlord now demands poor Hatty should undergo humiliating treatment and wear a high-vis vest whilst in the pub. Amazing animal news is outraged that the dog should undergo this treatment and sugguest that the regulars should be wearing the vests.

Last orders for no nonsense John Smith's-drinking horse at nay-bourhood pub

While we now have anti-discrimination laws to prevent all manner of prejudicial business practices towards humans, when are the government going to wake up and help put a stop to horses being barred from pubs?


The Mirror reports:

No wonder Peggy the carthorse looks bitter. Her favourite watering hole has just banned her from boozing in the bar - and she reckons it's a right mare.

For the 12-year-old black beauty had become a regular after wandering inside her local one day when owner Pete Dolan, 62, forgot to tether her properly while he popped in for a pint.

She quickly found she loved supping John Smith's and chomping down beef crisps with the other drinkers.

But now the Alexandra Hotel in Jarrow, South Tyneside, has had a makeover - and landlady Jackie Gray, 46, has decided her hoofprints are no longer welcome on the new carpets.
