For Fox Sake...

Another outbreak of some ghastly disease amongst chickens housed in batteries. The local paper headline said "Foxes to blame for spread of bird flu " Inside the paper, the full story ran....
" Farmers who feed dead chickens to foxes responsible for the spread of bird flu"

We now have legislation to stop the loathsome bloodsport of foxhunting....yet there is a lobby doing it's damnest to keep foxes as the "Countryman's" public enemy number one. Of course foxes will eat dead stock when it is thrown out in a heap....what is really to blame for this and many other vile diseases is the way in which food animals are raised. Until recently ...fed on minced sheep's brains and factory waste....crammed in...stuffed with antibiotics.... thrown about ...used as cricket balls...God knows what goes on when the cameras are not rolling....
Foxes are not evil...they follow instincts......we should know better.

In the East Anglian Daily Times today, Delia Smith is reported as saying that "battery chickens are vital for feeding poor people" ... I've always disliked Delia, and now I know why!
