Trolling

This site, as like other sites that have an animal welfare content, get trolled regularly to try to take comments off topic and undermine the comment section. That is why comments need to be on topic of the post. Once one person takes the comments off topic invariably others follow then a lot of the comments have no relevance to the post.

Generalized comments on one species or breed of animal or another does not constitute on topic.

If you do not know what an internet troll is there is an article on Wikipedia which says “In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as a forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.
