I feel sick.  Please God it was an accident.  What kind of person would do that on purpose, knowing all the dogs were locked in and stood no chance?

Thinking a little more.
 
Forget him serving time. I think a "Soweto necklace" would be a better solution.

Best wait til they decide whether he did it, Ray..... if he did though, I can't honestly say I'd stand in your way.

It's just stated on the news that at least 63 dogs are confirmed dead. A man and his nephew climbed over the fence, braved the flames to kick down the kennel doors and rescue 20 dogs.

We are all lying in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

14 year old arrested, if he is responsible then I wouldn't want to look at his face if I was his mother for a long, long time

If he did this on purpose, then he should be locked up for good, because next time it'll be an old people's home or a block of flats or a hospital.

 To do that shows this lad is  exhibiting serious psychopathic characteristics.
He will have no feeling for others, or  indeed any living sentient creatures .
 
What will become of him, he`s hardly fit to live in normal society and in all probability will end up committing further serious crimes . To incarcerate him at such a young age seems
 hard but we have the example of another young boy committing a  horrendous crime,getting a  new start and yet still behaving  in appalling ways . His partner seems to have done better, but that does not nullify the original crime.
 I can`t repeat all that was said in our dog walking group this afternoon-----it won`t do any good now, 63 dogs dead in dreadful circumstances  and some of them will not have ever known a nice life, loved and card for. It is truly shocking.
 What sort of upbringing has the lad had, if he is not  psychopathic. If he is psychopathic
 then it is not upbringing. No doubt his character and mental state will be thoroughly gone into. Then what? what on earth can be done with him?
 I`ll  bet his family ar re-housed  and given every help to live it down. At the expense of us
 via  our council tax!  Joynson

They'll only be rehoused if they are scrounging scum.  Decent people get nowt.  I am sincerely hoping he was just an idiot who threw a fag end and didn't intend any of it.  I really can't get my mind around the alternative. 
 
A million quid and offers of homes galore for dogs.  Appalling as it is, it's brought a tremendous amount of good in its wake.  What a shame all the offers of homes didn't come sooner - then the place would have been empty when it burned.  :-\

It is beyond doubt that there will be some "Bleeding heart" that will say that this person had a deprived this and that.
 
That should not detract in any way what he has done. He is an obvious danger to others and if not locked away will undoubtedly cause injury to others.
 
What has come out of this is the marvellous reaction from Mancunians, and others, that have given their hard earned to what they feel is a good cause. Whether in cash or kind the response is a credit to them all.

Wow..I don't think I have every seen such passion from the regulars on here.

Me not being a dog lover really could not care less as I am glad no humans were toasted in the blaze.
But I would never want to see any animal unless its one that I eat , chicken , fish, bovine..are harmed in any way.


As for the 15 year old. Yet again I see judge jury and execution on here before all the facts are out in the open.

He could have started smoking and set the blaze by accident, he could be innocent .
