QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Aug 7 2012, 10:39 AM)  Well I have heard the saying heavily pregnant, so I don't see anything wrong there. The point I make is that I don't think the article was overt propaganda. My reservations are only that I don't know if the figures stated are true and if there isn't anything left out. As for the subject matter of a game fair, I refer back to my previous post. I'll go with that - agree it's certainly not overt. -------------------- Know your place!

The problem I have there is I am at odds with myself as to whether the welfare of animals' path to my dinner table is kinder than it is compared to the path they follow to the hunters'. |

QUOTE (dannyboy @ Aug 7 2012, 10:41 AM) Surely a game fair is fair game for a Country matters column? If it was local maybe. This is a local paper for West Berks. |

Have no issue with people hunting for food, or in extremis to eliminate vermin. I certainly do strongly object to people simply hunting for fun or enjoyment. Similarly, very much against factory farming and mass killing of animals in food chain. -------------------- Know your place!

The second part implies that you would never eat eggs because virtually all male chicks are suffocated after hatching by putting them in chambers and removing the air. Unless we are vegan, we have to live with the second part. |

Correct me if I'm wrong, and I may have got hold of a rogue copy, but is the same report about Allenova Ballet exam success on both pages 26 and 28 of this week's NWN?
 One way of getting "less news" in the same size paper!  (By the way "Country Matters" was all about farming again this week!) |
