But you say you oppose the production of veal.

Of course I am.

But you are prepared to

Milk production is not a product of the veal industry. And milk would
still be produced if veal was not.




Nonsense. You were taken to court for, among other things, misusing the
word "slaughter".

<snip > But they're not really "reserves" they traps to

That is certainly not an accurate picture Angus.

Of course it is.

You've snipped the bit I referred to which was from MO:

"Perfectly legal shooting of accepted quarry species which have
strictly regulated seasons. And a great many wildfowling clubs run
reserves".

I believe this is a cynical manipulation of luring wildlife for the
kill. The wildfowlers know that there will be plenty of birds to shoot
if they run reserves.

Just as landowners let out shooting next to RSPB reserves.

What is the point of having reserves if they are cynically used to
shoot birds?

Which is about as ridiculous a statement as it is possible to make.


Not at all. In a response to a Scotsman letter some time ago a reader
said at times at the Loch Leven reserve she couldn't hear the sound of
the birds for the guns.

All truth passes through three stages:
First, it is ridiculed;
Second, it is violently opposed; and
Third, it is accepted as self-evident.
