For the past few months a number of people have been responsible for waging a coordinated, premeditated and wholly unjustified attack on Sylvia’s reputation and Many Tears Rescue. This vitriolic campaign is being conducted using the internet in a cowardly and anonymous way. Principally through spreading lies and rumours on various blog sites and chat forums, but we have also had the rescue centre vandalized and our web site was recently shut down after being hacked. The police are involved and we will be taking legal advice regarding the many libellous and highly defamatory statements that have been made. We believe this campaign and those responsible for making these defamatory statements are persons or groups totally opposed to Many Tears rescuing ex-breeding dogs and other dogs from this country and Ireland.
We have been advised not to engage online with these persons or groups and have tried hard to ignore all the hurtful and outrageously untrue statements being made. Unfortunately, this campaign is being widened has now taken a new turn and in addition to their previous defamatory claims, a number of further untrue and inflammatory comments and statements have been made and now supporters of the rescue are being approached and targeted and for this reason we are posting this statement. Nothing we have said or done to correct these people’s statements and their flawed interpretation of events has been accepted by those who are against our mission. They seem to be willing to disregard the law and go to any extreme in their personalised vendetta against Sylvia and Many Tears. All of these untrue claims and statements are being monitored and legal action will follow.
In the meantime, we continue to welcome anyone who would like to contact us or to visit Many Tears to reassure themselves of the true motivation for the dedicated work we do here at the rescue namely to save, rehabilitate and re-home man's best friend.

I think the thing that most people are opposed to are them being an easy dispose outlet for breeders, and dare I say it puppy farmers? I think it completely goes against the ethos of a dog welfare 'charity' to aid puppy farmers in any way shape or form.

I'm not saying they do aid puppy farmers - but one has to question the sheer volume of 'ex breeders' that seem to come into their possession.

Personally I would like to see people campaign and lobby parliament for change - rather than taking the law into their own hands.

Well I do not wish them any harm but neither do I support them as they do not work with Breed Rescue (at least not the two that represent one of my breeds) so that specialists can find the right homes.

What is wrong with people that they choose to attack a charity that does such good work, its unbelievable.........
