Cute horse look nice on tv, the media in this country are disrespectful parasites.

Best thing I have heard all day (it doesn't matter I was in an exam room all morning).

The media dont care what they do to the career, life or family of the person they are reporting.

Its a horse for Christs sake. Get real. The horses mum doesn't have pictures of her child on the mantlepiece. You never recover from losing your kid, its just happened in my family.

Idiots.

Mince, take a casual walk down to Horseguards some day. Tell them their horses don't matter.

I didn't mean they don't matter to some people. There are probably folks who would tear your head off for looking askance at a hedgehog. My point is I do not and will not put animals on a par with humans. A contentious opinion these days, I know (and don't care).

Did you know that when the Army horses get to certain age they are taken to the slaughter house and killed. I have seen many a trooper in tears after losing his horse, some of the lads even take them down there
as they don't wont them to die with a stranger.

Sobering.
I guess its like a pet / friend to them. I couldnt have my dog put down with some stranger I had to be there.

I know people can and do love animals as much as (if not more than) their fellow humans; I genuinely understand that and see nothing wrong with it.
But as a separate issue: if I were forced to choose which were to be hanged, a human or a dolphin, I would kick the stool out from under Flipper every time. Nobody has actually said anything one way or the other on this second point; I just piped up with it as a personal 'beef'.
Anyway, it was Yeti who died, not Sefton.

Now Mince what had Flipper done to be hanged, But I do know a number of people I would happily kick the stool away from under them and then takes bets on how long they would take to die.

Wouldn't like to ask how you found that site Adam...

And that's not a reason to hang Flipper, just the bloke who wrote that article!

Dolphins are not clever they are friggin thick!

Name me;

One Dolphin who has written a classic piece of literature?
One Dolphin who has invented something in popular usage?
One Dolphin who has discovered a medical cure?

They just jump in and out of the water all day, this is not a test that MENSA recognise.

Thick as shite the lot of 'em!
