Rather than 'shaming' me on Facebook?

DH and I run a business together. When we're both at work all day, we take our dog into work with us.

On Wednesday it was super hot and dog spent most of the day fast asleep on the cold concrete floor, right in front of a large fan wearing a Cool Coat.

Last night I got a message from a friend to tell me that someone had posted a photo of him on a local Facebook spotted/community.

I had a look and yes, there's a photo of our dog snoozing away, with a huge rant about irresponsible owners, dogs not being fashion accessories, how the dog must have been boiling hot, was visibly distressed and panting.

Most of the comments under the photo do point out that the coat is actually a Cool Coat and that the dog doesn't look distressed but there is some of our company literature visible in the background so it's quite identifying.

No one asked about the dog or commented about his coat, if they'd asked then I would have explained so I'm really fucked off.

I've posted a polite explanation and messaged the admin of the page to ask for it to be taken down, but surely, if you were that concerned about someone's dog you'd bring it up with their owner

No that's the problem Sparkling

We get no end of crap on ours sometimes.

Sometimes it's good things like events that are happening, things that are lost, thank you for this and general enquiries.

Then it's really malicious things that are posted and the admin refuse to take it down.

In fact you message the admin asking for the post to be taken down, the post it on the page so that people can take the piss

This page used to be more of a community information page, but it seems to have become more Spotted as time has gone on. Used to be missing cats and car boot sale information but now there's a lot of bad parking/'shaming' type posts

You have to post under your own name so it's not anonymous.

Photo is still there

On ours the original post remains anonymous but replies aren't.

Also lots of bad parking/driving and moaning about schools.

Same as us sparkling

You inbox the admin, they post it anonymously and you can then reply to the post with your own name
