Pet Street
PetStreet.co.uk was set up nearly a year ago. It is a social networking
website, but unlike web sites like MySpace or FaceBook, PetStreet has a
specific purpose its members have a passion for the animals that share our
lives. It's free to use, every owner has a page and then can open pages, and
upload photos, for all their pets. There are members with all sorts of
animals, though dogs seem to be the most popular. Once signed up, people can
talk to people and pets can talk to pets and so ideas, information and
experiences can be shared.
The ethos is very much
responsible pet ownership, anti any exploitation of animals and a real
concern about the vast numbers of abandoned pets in
re-homing centres.
Gradually the site will become commercialised but only by associating with
products that are ethical, organic, environmentally friendly etc.
One of the things that makes PetStreet unique is that there is a clear
editorial voice. The editor's blog raises all sorts of issues that often
generate a great deal of discussion on PetStreet. Recent examples are Dublin
City Council¹s recent attempt to ban tenants keeping certain breeds of dog,
VAT on vet¹s bills, dogs electrocuted by lampposts in London or the Teesside
man given an Asbo for a string of offences, including throwing dogs into the
path of oncoming traffic!
PetStreet is only just beginning, but its clear ethos of ethical and
responsible pet ownership is
beginning to strike a
chord with people
everywhere.
