prime mate! 30 October 2009
Apparently I am in the Irish Daily Mail today standing up for animal rights on the back of the baboon piece on this blog – good – and I am glad I am quoted as calling AA Gill a knob for his horrid and needless killing of a defenceless animal and one undeserving of that fate. Now, here’s the thing – I am a meat eater (though would love to be a vegetarian) but the meat I eat is, wherever possible, organic and free range and I am against cruelty of any sort (all join Compassion In World Farming, please). I have tried to bolster campaigns against fur farming in Ireland and cruel pig pens (sows confined horribly while weaning is one awful example) as well as the welfare of chickens (I eat a lot of chicken). Just a bit of consideration, eh? and the world could be a better place…And that’s before we even start on humans – though we are such complex creatures and willfully terrible at times…
