Re: Adopt a fox
hi piggy,
that's ok it's not harsh just opinion.
However I think you've missed my point. The adopting a fox thing was a play on the situation.
One point is that I can't see the reasoning behind why so many people are prepared to draw battle lines on the fox hunting issue. Sure the manner in which the fox is treated is not right. Is it right engage in violent confrontations with the other lobby group and go to extreme lengths to make a point i.e saboutage and booby trapping which cause often severe injuries to many people. All because of the fox. I am using the UK as an example, but while we haven't reached this stage yet in Ireland, but maybe it will happen. I just don't see the logic behind this much fanaticism. There is a lack of balance as I see it in relation to other issues.
This week we had a report from Limerick about the dog which had nails hammered into it's stomach. Awful right ? Cruelty to pets is not a new occurence. I saw it happening when I was a youngster and it undoubtedly happened long before that as well. We don't see as much reported about this kind of incident, or have people up in arms or prepared to fight tooth and nail over it. Every weekend in our towns and cities, innocent people are being violently attacked and often fatally injured, but we don't see such a fanatic reaction in protest at this either.
I just don't understand the imbalance of attitude shown on these issues. Can anyone see where I am coming from ??
