Posted on 10/08/2019 16:27 by ChemicalJasperIn the UK approximately 2.6 million cattle, 10 million pigs, 14.5 million sheep and lambs, 80 million fish and 950 million birds are slaughtered in the food chain.
....I can only imagine that say a Hindu culture looks at the UK, a so called civilised nation, and wonders how it could allow the butchery of 2,600,000 of its most sacred animals every year, for its own personal enjoyment!?
...just saying

Posted on 11/08/2019 17:52 by nelliethehookerSurely even you can see the difference between raising and killing animals, including birds, for food and the wanton slaughter of wild birds for the fun of it!!

- What great news RK. All we need to do now is stop Middle Eastern countries killing approx 4.5 million birds a year, stop the Maltese killing Turtle Doves allegedly mistaking them for Snipe which they are licensed to hunt. Not forgetting the people in Britain who kill BofP

Agree with you OP. We did have 1 pair of Turtle Doves in the next field this year but they had gone after 6 weeks then appeared again next to OH's shed and wonder what calling and they were trying to compete with the Nightingales.
As to Stumpy think another lizard had taken over his stretch on the terrace as I have not seen today.
Have a good trip to France tomorrow, we are off to the Dordogne to a site overlooking at Beynac Chateau and will look to see what is about in the area might even see some terns on the river as they have been there before.
