Should we play politics with animals' feelings?
- Thread starter Conor O'Gorman

Look at a meadow, alongside the flora it supports a huge diversity of invertebrates, many of which feed on the dung from the grazing animals. The grazing animals will by default kill and injure some invertebrates, while taking hay kills some small mammals and amphibians.
The natural product of this management is meat from surplus animals as the animals breed.
We could reduce the no of surplus animal using contraceptives (lets bypass issues with contraceptive production). Most would support euthanasia at the end of an animal life or if ill so we still produce some meat.
Long term meat production export nutrients from the meadow so maintaining its status, and economically if itās a productive landscape it is more likely to survive. This is similar to the arguments to safaris hunting and deer management.
Does animal sentience, support animalās living natural lives and behaviours (breeding) or our all animals to be controlled and managed as is Carrieās dog.

I think even if you were selective in the pigeon you chose training it to become a sheepdog or a blind support dog would be tough
Shark attacks, which is a horrendous thing to happen, calling it a attack I mean, is not very Kosher, so in future the once known term as "Shark Attack".(and i would like you to know I shivered as I wrote that), apologies most profound to Jaws and his mates, anyway I, digress, the term in future where humans meet hungry sharks should be known as "Negative Encounters" not as previously known as "Shark Attack", where the human has lost limbs and unable to write about the "Negative encounter", a voice recording would suffice , but try not to be too hysterical as this gives people the impression that Sharks are dangerous, look on it like this, you go swimming in the sea, and a hungry shark is about, then to them you are basically a snack.
Another point, to bear in mind, I have had many complaints from our feline friends, who are a bit upset about this random stroking phenomena that seems to be about, so in future those people who are owned by the feline fraternity, can you get permission before stroking or cuddling our members, (not that sort of member.......whats wrong with you people), after all we spend many hours preening our fur, and get easily upset by this constant stroking.
And cut out this malarky concerning our Pigeon friends, training us to be Sheepdogs, whatever next, we have a hard time as it is, some Councils have tried to stop people feeding us, "Whats that all about", if we were in a ZOO, you would have to pay to feed us, but we stay free, so you don't have to pay, just the odd piece of stale bread would do, (nearly had me in tears there), and on the odd occasion we manage to grab a chip off you, it was a mistake we thought you were offering us one, the way you held it out in front of you, Oh and by the way, not too much Vinegar in future, gives us the runs, and you don't want that do you.
Remember we are sentient, and don't like to be upset, we see how you humans treat each other, and we don't want any of that,

I heard a story about 50 years ago about someone connecting a lie detector to a rubber plant and getting amazing findings.
Iāve spent 10-minutes searching the Angling Trustās website (this includes the ācampaignā section) and can find a;- zero reference to their engagement with the membership in the matter of the animal sentience bill and b;- support for shooting.

Just a heads up the AW(S) Bill will be subject to debate on BBC Radio 4ās excellent āMoral Mazeā program at 8PM tonight. It may not arrive at a conclusion that supports your views but I can assure you it will lay bare what informs and motivates those who campaign for a change in how we view and treat animals:
