http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-29984402 ****y ***** animal rights activists or the sadist celebrity obsessed housewives who watch this ****e?
Question two - when referring to two groups - should the question be 'who is worse' or 'who are worse'?
The people who watch it. I'm usually happy to have a pop at the animal rights activists when it's merited but on this one they're spot on that it should not be allowed. Animal cruelty is absolutely fine if you can win money on it or if it is good TV viewing (like bears chasing monkeys on bikes and then eating them). This is not good viewing and the betting markets are absymal so the cruelty has to stop immediately.
Depends on how you view the group, Mick. Do you see the group as a collective of like-minded individuals or an ensemble of composite parts? The former would suggest the group is one complete unit, and the latter suggests a gathering of mavericks. Personally, when talking about gangs, groups and organisations, I tend to use them in the singular, with the exception of football teams. 'Charlton were brilliant today.' 'The BBC is a rank organisation.' 'The RSPB is so important in today's quest for conservation.' The choice, however, is down to the individual.
The loss of a few ****ing locusts or a frog is hardly going to cause the downfall of the Australian ecosystem.
Only ****s harm animals for the sake of it. Angling for fish that cannot be eaten is an act of barbarism. Horse racing should be banned forthwith. I take animal protection very seriously.
They have these horse trams walking up and down the Isle of Man all summer please log in to view this image Of course the only reason they do it with a horse is for the novelty and tradition factor - it would be much easier to do it with an engine. So is this cruel?
It's not cruel but it's very bad buisness sense. if you want to pull in the punters you should have them jumping over fences or running through rivers with the tram attached.
They should release a canister of airborn Ebola into the camp and film them bleeding out of their Z list arses.
Depends how the horse is treated. The one in the photo looks pretty healthy, so no, it's not cruel. It was probably bred to work, and as there aren't too many ploughs need pulling in the Isle of Bollocks, it's options were probably the tram or the flue factory.
It's hard to say, Mick. Through the ages man has used animals to further trade, manufacturing and agriculture. But does that make it right in this day and age? Would the horse be put to death if unemployed? Does it enjoy its life? There needs to be a balance. Personally, I would not want to be pulled along by a horse, especially when I know I can walk, ride or catch a bus. Abusing animals for entertainment and personal gain is abhorrent in all forms.
It was a loaded question really. They've a retirement home for old tram horses right next to my house - all the horses are well looked after, but they look ****ing depressed. If they aren't working then they are standing about a field - that's as good as their life gets, there's no utopia.
