Dingwall sale stream pulled.

[Willie adie]

Dingwall had thier tup sale pulled from Facebook after some woman "accidentally" stumbled upon it.
Totally unbelievable

Is this to do with advertising animals? Every mart has a Facebook page and now pictures of animals coming up for sale.

Unfortunatly our livestream has been taken down due to someone reporting us. Can you please note that this is a BREEDING sale and animals are never harmed in the market.

Jeeezz, we really do live in strange times.

Whatever next?

I dont get this , pulled for what reason? She doesn't understand what a livestock market is

@Willie adie - how did you hear it was a woman? The mart statement just says that facebook cut the feed after an external complaint.

 

[Willie adie]

Someone said it was a woman
I will now retract it was as woman and replace with a PERSON

No worries, just wondered if you had some inside information. Not sure I'd even call the complainant a person, tbh.

I've seen couple comments on fb feeds.
'Oh poor thing looks scared to death', wanted to get back in box with its mates
'Why is he hitting it with a stick', poked its face to turn it around

Aye I saw a daft comment on a calf sale vid, they should disable the comments on the videos, no need for them.

Isn't it FB policy that no animals can be advertised for sale be it a pet or otherwise.

No. Policy is that only businesses can do it.

May aswell just give all market customers a login code countrywide , compatible across the board . these cretins have far to much influence and say on how things are run in this country but only have a ounce of a clue about the subject matter , a little bit of knowledge is dangerous!

We get abuse on faceache for the fact we run a farm with livestock. Even had an abusive phone call for putting up a banner advertising our Lambing Sunday event earlier this year opposite the local school (which is also where our land starts). The sign was also defaced by “animal rights” individuals.

FB does have an appeal system. I think the moderators are just that with no specialist knowledge or training. FB also uses 'bots' which I gather are alorithms and software to automatically pick up on posts or pages that breach their rules. Always worth raising concerns. As my father would have said, if you don't complain, how do the managers know when things are not done properly?

I posted looking for a home for an old stallion. FB blocked it. I appealed. The advert was reinstated and the horse has since been rehomed. Those who don't ask, don't get.

Just have a business page and then get your Mrs to share that instead. Dingwall mart aside, Facebook are pretty much just enforcing their rules - the ones we sign up to when we join and ask to play in their sandbox.
