What On Earth Is Wrong With Americans To Allow This To Take Place, Arent They Supposed To Be Civilised!!?

[RATTER15]

These rabbits must be terrified!!! It makes me sick what some people will do for entertainment, especially involving the young children who will often know no better!

Ratter..I looked at the Wauconda link .....the children in that one were doing quite badly too....sad isn't it? x

Ratter, illegal they may be but it goes on, sometimes on farmers lands, they are not short on letting the louts have a go at the badgers, if they have cattle, nor indeed are the other two nasties been stopped. Illegal dog fights where they tear each other to pieces, human beings are responsible for that not the dogs.

Clanad, just seen your post.

I don't think this is comparable to fox hunting? This seems much less exclusive and expensive :)

And regarding the PKB issue - yes, of course it is! Although I'd ignore PETA generally because they're a bit mental, like the animal rights campaigners who like to slip a bomb under a car here are there at Huntingdon Life Sciences.

"Said to the background strains of "Pomp and Circumstance March" by Sir Edward Elgar."

Absolutely.

Sqad, how can you not see it? look again and see the rabbit being picked up and literally thrown! and all those noisy children wresting and scrabbling and grabbing at rabbits, of course that is cruel. Rabbits are very quiet sedate creatures, they find any noise very stressful, that situation would be terrifying for them.

Don't some places in England chase defenceless cheese down a hill?

Hate animal cruelty of any shape, colour or form.
America is a 'young' country with too many ideas above its station imo.
Then again, most countries have ideas above their station, whatever station that happens to be.

RATTER.....OK........I will keep looking until i see clear violence and psychological torture.

[wolf63]

Cruelty to animals, whether physically or psychologically is wrong.

What the animal activist extremists do to try and rectify this is also wrong.

Rabbits can quite easily die of fright. I would die of fright if I was so close to all those screaming children.

[RATTER15]

Sqad, you appear to be the only one that cant see it, I wonder why, take two ibuprofen and report back (no rush)

em10, of course it goes on but our legal system and Joe public are fighting it!

I think that if they tried that particular activity in the UK there would be an absolute uproar and the RSPCA would be in there in a flash.

[albaqwerty]

sqadlet, none of us are rabbits, but the phrase 'caught like a rabbit in headlights' springs to mind that they are easily scared

[Sqad]

LOL.......I am still looking, but if it makes you feel any better......I have seen the light.

[B00]

Rabbit bites are ruddy painful, I really hope that at least one of those little darlings gets bitten- REALLY hard!

[RATTER15]

Well done sqad, I think your little bulb flickers occasionally ;-)

[RATTER15]

lol Boo, thats mean but it will teach them.

[emmie]

perhaps if you had put humans beings instead of just Americans. As we know there is animal cruelty all around the globe.

[237SJ]

Not nice but I`ve seen far worse in other places. Have you seen those poor bl00dy horses that take tourists around the pyramids? (for example). America does have it`s humane societies such as ASPCA and the rest. I don`t think they are any worse than us. It wasn`t so long ago that animals were performing in circuses here and we were fox hunting. People quite enjoyed those activities and still would if they hadn`t been banned. There are far worse causes of animal cruelty in other parts of the world (Europe for example) and I personally would spend my energies getting het up over them.

[Sqad]

trigger......too right they do...they are boiled skinned and make delicious rabbit pie.

[237SJ]

"You have to remind yourselves that Americans are foreigners sometimes and our values don`t necessary make it across the Atlantic with our language"

Would that be Jonney Foreigner then?

[RATTER15]

triggerhippy, yes I believe they do.

237SJ, all in good time! I discuss and moan about all these issues as and when I come across them, both in this country and others!
