Elephants & tigers & hens & other Tory targets
Nov 14, 2010, 06:16
OK I know it's off topic for here but since we're talking about it already.....
Sea Cat has posted next door how our unelected Tory government is reversing animal welfare moves across the board http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/forum/?thread=60425

It's all a bit hard to appreciate en masse but when you get down to individual creatures it's different: the legislation will mean Anne (who was in a town near me recently and prompted protests, as she always does wherever she goes), 52 years old, arthritic, in captivity for 47 years, the last elephant left in Britain still touring with a circus (Bobby Roberts'), will carry on being shipped from town to town and spending most of her time chained up in fields.
