Post by: Cosmore on July 21, 2015, 02:04:06 pm: The more I learn about things like this in the world the more I wonder how some of them can consider themselves as a modern, civillised and progressive nation. I know you can't 'tar all with the same brush', but it seems there are some that arn't happy unless theyr'e shooting each other or innocent schoolkids or members of the public or causing pain and distress to livestock. Obviously they havn't heard of the 5 freedoms for livestock.
I've signed, you gotta try........

Probably because they have nothing else to keep their minds occupied with. If a human being gets bored they start to cause mischief that's probably why there is so much crime in cities nowadays. You know what an animal is like when its bored it becomes mischievous.
