Dear Cleg,
You're not hijacking this thread at all, lets make it a animal loving thread, where you can place posts about animal cruelty to open up people's eyes.
You are so right about the chickens, the same story goes for the pigs, cows, sheep and every other meat that we eat.
I don't eat much meat myself, maybe once or twice a week and then it's about 150 g at the most I eat. I would totally ban meat out of my life, like i used to do, but my health and my wallet can't take that anymore. I never ever eat red meat, wich I mean horsemeat. The eggs I eat, are from my own chickens, they die in our garden of old age. I would never kill an animal, not even if I'm very hungry. Mother Nature offers us enough to provide.
So go ahead with the animal posts, I very much like that!
And btw, I just watched the KFC video, I am shocked! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
About the greyhounds:
Today I discovered that at the end of every racing season, the owner has to get rid of the oldest dogs, wich are the 3 to 4 year old ones. They have been racing from since they were 18 months.
It's a sadistic tradition that all these dogs are hanged in a tree, BUT, the ones that raced well enough, will be hanged high, so they die in a few horrible minutes. But the ones who didn't race well, will be hanged low enough so their back pows' toes still reach the ground. They call it "piano playing". Those dogs have a battle with death for about 6 hours. "They don't deserve a quick death" according to them.
Please, keep signing the petition, as Macbeth quoted so right: The cruelty will only stop when the races are banned.
