I know there are another couple of orgs but they are all the same Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eastcoast 3,730 Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 The present day British really must be the most hypocritical people on the planet. A nation of animal lovers who regard any kind of hunting or shooting of an animal abhorrent. Even if made aware of the, to them, paradoxical facts of the beneficial impact that traditional management of the countryside has in regard to preservation of native flora and fauna, not to mention the important commercial importance to rural communities. No, beastly men murdering animals is too high a price to pay no matter what benefits it may offer. They love the animals too much to condone such activities as animal welfare is all that matters. Apart from chickens and pigs, they don't count. People cannot be expected to pay the price for ethically produced eggs and meat. And as for the quality of life that many animals have that are kept as pets by this nation of animal lovers.. I really struggle to understand their self satisfied opinion that they have of themselves as being an animal lover, poles apart from my interpretation of that title. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 1,791 Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 I think one of the problems is one of perception. Us Brits love the underdog: Robin of Sherwood, Braveheart, Dick Turpin, Jimmy White. We simply love to stick up for the individual or group that we see as being repressed in some way. This is especially so if it means we can blow a raspberry at officialdom. The problem is, we chop and change who the underdog is. Depending on where they are on the food chain. As an example, if the average Brit is watching a natural history programme they'll cheer on the fox as it evades a mounted pack but in next week's episode they'll cheer on the rabbit and boo the fox. What we need is for the general public to stop seeing us as the aggressor, "attacking" small, innocent fluffy creatures, and to start seeing us as the minority. They think it's fine watching Amazonian tribes using blow-darts to shoot monkeys or Aborigines to eat roasted goanna but rabbit...how could you? Yeuch! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
