Rat Appreciation... and going offline
a reflection on the ridiculous levels of
sensitivity and political correctness felt to be necessary in our screwed up
society.......?
I can understand, but not necessarily agree with,
the anti-fox hunting lobby. Rats however are a different matter. I suppose it's
a reflection on the ridiculous levels of sensitivity and political correctness
felt to be necessary in our current, somewhat screwed up, society.... What am I
on about..? Well, this evening on the local news there was a small feature on an
organic farm using dogs to hunt and kill the local rat population - a far more
natural, effective and environmentally friendly solution to the problem than
poison or traps. It was felt to be necessary however to issue a warning at the
beginning of the broadcast that the piece contained images that viewers may find
distressing or offensive.... what is the world coming to such that folk can't
handle seeing a Jack Russell legging it after a filthy long tail that would
otherwise be responsible for the spread of disease and destruction of the
farmers livelihood. Please. I guess the next step will be censorship of Barn
Owls and cuddly domestic cats amongst others that happily hunt
vermin.
Cycled to work today. Nothing
special about that other than it's the first time I felt up to it in the early
morning for 6 months... Naturally it piddled down with
rain.
Oh yes, one other thing... this
blog is shortly to be archived and locked away. I won't go into detail, there
are reasons - not all of them good. I'll be back before very long though and at
a new, yet to be disclosed URL... :o)
