Dear friends!! I am a student in Edinburgh University, and I am doing my research about ethics in pet food ingredient labeling. Could you help me to fill a survey for me? The survey link is www.surveymonkey.com/s/IEPFIL. THANK YOU SO MUCH! |

I quite agree. I would have done the survey but am not willing to do it when it has spammed the forum so much. In fact, I find it rather rude!

Well I started it and stopped when it asked about what level of qualifications you have and how much of household income (which was dollars not pounds)..... There were some rather strange questions that seemed to not be related to opinions on pet food!! ...... Then I realized it was all over forum !! Totally agree with you scallywag, smilesbetter and milliepup  |

I apologise for that you guys, i am so sorry to be considered as the spam monster, which i am not.
The reason i posted it on different sections of the forum is because this is not just focus on dog or cat, it aims to target the common problems in whole pet food market. So I thought people who have cat or other pet may not go to the dog sections in the forum.
And about the questions of income or qualifications, the purpose of it is to find out the relationship between these variables and the willing people spend money on their pet. So no offense, if you do not like to answer it, it's ok! And i really want to set it in pounds, but i thought it may be easier for people who come from other countries to translate.
Anyway, i do apologize that my spreads bothered you. I am an animal lover, and i really do not want to be the person who are not welcomed in pet forum.
Sorry!

Thats good of you to respond back maomao, as you have gathered we get spammed a lot, last time it was kitchens, every corner we turned. I think if there had been 4 posts one on each board then maybe it may not have been so annoying, it was 13 that did it for me . Welcome to the forum  |

Thanks for your understanding! No wonder i saw the comments below people are angry about kitchens something..
I'm sure i will never do that again. I need to stand on your point.
I have many pets in my life, cat, dog, rabbit, bird, python... So this is why i chose pet-related topic in my dissertation, and I think people who have pet are all very friendly and enthusiastic about relevant topic, because we all care about them so much.

Thank you milliepup04! I'm so glad that we all figured it out! I totally understand your feelings. I was even not looking at such spread sometimes myself, but it seems that most of you still clicked the link and took a look at it. Well.. Sorry and thanks |
