Breeding to hunt.

Will we be next? Dear old Beeb and its 'anti' agenda strikes again, see:-

We breed fish/animals to catch and sometimes to kill, are we bad too?

Bit of a paradox that one, If they don't breed them who will?

 

We've always bred animals for food, maybe they think it's more humane in an abbatoir. Have they been in one?

i watched a cooking program called 'two hairy bikes' a couple of weeks ago and they were somewhere like namibia (my memory fails me as to exactly where they were) and they were cooking farmed oryx, i was surprised to hear of it being farmed at all.

Sorry jeepster, I've just put my specs on, I thought it said "two hairy dykes"

[jeepster]

ooops, i meant to say two hairy bikers! not a couple of hirsute slappers

i saw a clip about americans breeding rare species to shoot ,fish are hardly a rare species (well except when i'm fishing) so compared to that were innocent m'lud

[Alan Stubbs]

Mark Markapian, one of the American 'anti' mouthpieces said 'so the US government is saying it's OK to shoot rare breeds to help them survive'.

 

Erm, yes... seems like a fair price to pay, and yet more misrepresentation by the 'anti' lobby. The sooner Joe Public wisew up to their lies and misrepresentation the better.

Did you notice that report was aimed at children on newsround. Had a quick look at the main news site and could not find it. I suppose the anti brigade have to start them young when they are most impressionable.

in fairness to newsround, and the bbc, a couple of years ago, i went fox hunting to film a piece for them about the hunt, and it was a balanced non emotive piece, trying to help the viewers make their own mind up. i does annoy me a little when people accuse the bbc of being 'anti' when the truth is they're pretty neutral
