h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Everytime I have a new pet everyone wants to eat it!

This is true. Maybe you should think of something totally inedible next...hmm; difficult that; those carnivore types will eat anything really.

On a similar subject, it amuses me that cat food comes in flavours like beef & lamb. Just what are the chances of Yoda catching a cow? Surely there is a market for flavoured food?

zdt

I wouldn't like to open a tin of flavoured food!!

They stink enough when they're alive

Well that's your ownfault forhaving s

Presactly!

My little hamsters are running around now having a fantastic time. Bunny is out of his pen terrorizing me and I'm glad because he was not very well the last couple days but he seems to be doing better.

I've got a hat made out of

Fiend!

It's a nice hat, it's very warm

I am glad that a bunny died to keep your head warm.

(I actually dont really care that much as long as its not my bunny!)

All animal skin clothing should be banned including donkey jackets

agreed!

I don't wear it but it doesn't bother me that much if other people do. I object more to animals being kept in horrible conditions than anything else because they have to actually live through that.

Those poor donleys

Or even

Those poor donkeys

in one of our supermarkets, at long last, they have started to show on the side of egg boxes not only free range, but now"caged hens" so people can fully chose

battery hens should be a world ban! including any other animal used in our food chain that is caged from birth to death

I wouldn't be so sure about the living conditions of "free range" chickens if I where you Prof. I live near a few of those places and the only difference between "free range" and "barn" is the barn as they cram as many birds as they can into a field where it's hard to see any ground between them. Battery hens are another thing entirely though.

I see nothing wrong with wearing the skins and fur of animals that have been killed for food but to kill a wild animal just for it's coat is completely wrong.

cheers BM, there are some egg boxes in Morrisons, that have RSPCA inspected on them, but I take on board your info my friend.

Hows things? hope you and your family had a good and pleasant xmas/new year

It was fine thanks Prof, a good time was had

How about you and yours?

quiet xmas, but new year..argh! went to a relations and one of her sons blew his cool, that much! I thought he would burst a blood vessel, so a bit of a damper there

Prolly one of those teen "moments"

I'm off to bed, I didn't realise how late it was


Catch you another time Prof
