I just don't get it.

I'll NEVER get it or understand it, in fact when I see pictures of defenceless animals being killed by so called trophy hunters and them posing happily with the dead animal, it makes me want to go out and shoot them and laugh happily when they are dead !!! It also makes me cry. It's a rotten world.

That's truly sickening.

I despair.

[Lie-in King]

Appalling.

There is no accounting for other people and how they see things.

I venture that in each and every country in the world there are at least thousands, if not tens of thousands, of wild birds and other creatures killed by hunters every year. This is entirely separate from ordinary slaughter of farmed animals and altogether separate from fishing. Others keep live animals in their homes simply for their personal gratification. I recently saw an item about a duck which had been rendered flightless by a domestic cat and is now someone else's pet - that is a juxtaposition of two versions of keeping domestic animals, one imposed the other a lifeline of sorts. Humans are known to treat humans in various ways that are less than appropriate. Yes, all of this is undesirable, it has gone on for centuries and we should urge a change. Comparing one of these with another is merely a moot point - all of them represent the abuse of power and an exercise in vainglory.

Some good news from the forest of Bowden. 22 hen harriers have fledged this year. How many will survive through to next year is another question?
