walshie 2,804 Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Have you seen that anywhere other than Twitter or facebook? Seems odd they'd advertise it. Edit - Just seen Coca Cola have replied so maybe there's something in it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Meece 1,957 Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 IF THAT IS TRUE and not fake news it is a bit crazy. It's a bit of an unforced error in public relations. When news like this gets out into the public domain you are blowing a trumpet to all of the do gooders and antis out there. They will come down an demonstrate outside which will be front page news.

I bet it will be the reason that I get called to factories .... 90% of the time it’s down to the staff feeding them. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chartpolski 20,409 Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 I think feeding them is probly right, but I was wondering if there was any by-product that was attracting them ? What I can't explain is why, years ago, Nissan's sports field in Washington used to be heaving with hares, and the Formica factory, in the middle of Newcastle and literally miles from open countryside, was also full of hares. It was like shooting fish in a barrel , just put the dog over the fence and stand back ! Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dogmad riley 1,337 Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 We used to feed a vixen at work regularly, it would eat anything from sandwiches to vindaloos.
